  • Patent number: 8499850
    Abstract: The screwdriving power tool includes a hollow spindle (8) rotatably supported in the tool housing (4) and driven by a motor (26), a clutch (30) that rotatably connects and disconnects the hollow spindle (8) with and from the motor (26), respectively, in engagement and disengagement positions of the clutch (30), a screwing-in spindle (6) connected with a chuck (10) for a working tool (12) and connected with the hollow spindle (8) for a joint rotation therewith and for an axial displacement relative thereto, and a percussion mechanism (14) for applying a pulsed axial force to the screwing-in spindle (6), with the clutch (30) being brought into its engagement position by the screwing-in spindle (6) by being displaced against a biasing force of the clutch springs (40, 44), and being locked in its engagement position.

  • Patent number: 6952853
    Abstract: A screw driving device (2) for a hand tool drilling device (1) includes a screw magazine (3) for successive feeding of screws or bolts (4), a feeder block (6) that can be axially displaced against the force of a feeder spring (5), which at least partially supplies screws (4) during the back and forth reciprocating movement of the feeder block (6), and a driving tool (8) that can be coupled rotationally in form locked manner with a screw head (7), wherein the driving tool (8) axially moveably receives a rotatingly driven drilling tool (9) in a coaxial hollow inner space and is spring biased axially by a clutch spring (10) relative to the screw driving device in a rotation driver position X, in which a drilling tool tip (11) is axially spaced from the screw head (7) and is coupled rotationally form locked with the driving tool (8).

  • Patent number: 6526852
    Abstract: A screw driving tool including a housing (1), a hollow spindle (3) rotatably supported in the housing (1) with a possibility of a limited axial displacement relative thereto, a screw-in spindle 5 at least partially extending in the hollow cylinder (3), connected thereto for joint rotation therewith, and supported for a limited axial displacement relative thereto, an impact mass (15) for displacing the screw-in-spindle (5) in a screw-in direction, a drive motor (2) for rotating the screw-in spindle (5), and a clutch (6) located between the hollow spindle (3) and the drive motor output shaft (19) for transmitting rotational movement to the hollow spindle (3).

  • Patent number: 6240816
    Abstract: A depth stop for a hand-held screw driving tool including a housing, a drive located in the housing for rotating a spindle about a spindle axis, and a chuck for receiving a working tool, connected with the housing and projecting from the housing in an axial direction defined by the spindle axis with the depth stop (3; 10; 16; 22) including a sleeve-shaped element for surrounding the chuck, connectable with the tool housing (2) and having at lease one axially extending opening formed in a wall of the sleeve-shaped element and piercing the wall through an entire wall thickness, and with the opening having, at its end remote from the housing (2) an entrance region (7; 21; 25) open in the axial direction.
