  • Patent number: 8281872
    Abstract: A drill hammer for the three operation modes of drilling, chiseling, and hammer-drilling has a motor with a motor shaft; a gear with an intermediate shaft, a driving gear wheel, a toothed slaving shaft , a shifting hub, and a driven gear wheel; a percussion mechanism with a wobble disk and a wobble gear wheel; and a driven shaft with a driving gear wheel and a drill chuck. The gear is configured to be changed over easily without axial displacement of running gears that mesh with one another so that the drill hammer is more robust, shorter or more compact, and lighter in weight. The drill hammer is thus simply and economically constructed and whose efficiency is not impaired by the gear shifting mechanism.

  • Patent number: 7635032
    Abstract: A hand-held drill hammer has a housing, a shaft (12) connected to a drive shaft (30), and a lifting bearing (14). The lifting bearing (14) is supported and the shaft (12) for converting rotary motion into a reciprocating motion. In a first switching configuration, a percussion drive connection exists between the shaft (12) and the lifting bearing (14). In a second switching configuration, the percussion drive connection is interrupted. The lifting bearing (14) may be fixed with respect to a reference system of the housing in the second switching configuration.

  • Publication number: 20080011499
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hand-held tool, in particular a hammer drill (10a, 10b), comprising a shaft (12) and a lifting control bearing (14a, 14b) which is mounted on the shaft (12a, 12b) and which is used to translate a rotational movement into a lifting movement. According to the invention, a percussion drive connection is arranged between the shaft (12) and the lifting control bearing (14) in at least one of the first switch configurations and the percussion drive connection is interrupted in at least one of the second switch configurations. The hand-held machine comprises a maintaining agent (16a, 16b) which fixes the lifting control bearing (14) to the second switch configuration.
