Patent number: 9463562Abstract: A motor driven hammer having a housing, a motor having a motor shaft and being arranged in the housing, a hammer mechanism including a cylinder in which a ram is arranged the ram being slidable along a longitudinal axis (L) of the cylinder, and a tool holder which may support a tool bit so that the tool bit is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the cylinder, wherein the motor is coupled with the hammer mechanism, so that rotation of the motor shaft results in a reciprocating movement of the ram within the cylinder, the ram applying impacts on a tool bit supported by the tool holder during the reciprocating movement. Further, the ram is made of a paramagnetic or ferromagnetic material or comprises a permanent magnet and a coil is arranged within the housing adjacent to the cylinder so that the coil applies a force in the direction of the longitudinal axis on the ram if a current is applied to the coil.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2010Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Rene Gumpert, Heinz-Werner Faatz

Patent number: 7562721Abstract: A vibration reduction apparatus for use with a hammer tool having a hammer piston is disclosed. The hammer piston is caused to reciprocate in the cylinder by rotation of a gear wheel and crank drive. A cam is mounted around the gear wheel, a counterweight surrounds the piston cylinder, and a cam follower is provided on the counterweight. The cam follower on the counterweight is urged into contact with the cam by a biasing element. The external profile of the cam is such that rotation of the gear wheel causes oscillation of the counterweight in antiphase to motion of the hammer piston to counteract vibrations produced by operation of the hammer action of the tool. A mechanism is provided to deactivate the vibration reduction apparatus when the hammer action of the tool is deactivated.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2008Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Michael Stirm, Heinz-Werner Faatz

Publication number: 20070017684Abstract: A vibration reduction apparatus (501) for use with a hammer tool having a hammer piston (520) is shown. The hammer piston (520) is cansed to reciprocate in cylinder (530) by rotation of a gear wheel (523) about axis (524), the hammer piston (520) being mounted to the gear wheel (523) via piston arm (531) and pivot pin (522). Reciprocating motion of the hammer piston causes a flying mass (569) to be driven along cylinder (530) to impart a hammer action to a bit of the tool. The gear wheel (523) is caused to rotate about axis (524) by meshing of gear (514) on drive shaft (511) with gear teeth (532) on the periphery of gear wheel (524), the drive shaft (511) being caused to rotate by a motor (not shown) of the tool. a cam (533) is rigidly mounted around gear wheel (523), a counterweight 5219 surrounds piston cylinder (530), and a cam follower (534) is provided on counterweight 521. The cam follower 534 on counterweight 521 is urged into contact with cam (533) by means of a compression spring (535).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2004Publication date: January 25, 2007Inventors: Micheal Stirm, Heinz-Werner Faatz
