  • Patent number: 10391674
    Abstract: A drive shaft for a machine tool, for example a core drilling machine, able to be connected to a drilling tool, in particular a core bit, is disclosed. The drive shaft contains a cavity which substantially extends over the whole length of the drive shaft and along the rotational axis. The cavity contains at least one inflow opening where, through the at least one inflow opening, water can be fed along the drive shaft into the drilling tool. In the drive shaft, an insertion device is provided in the cavity, through which water is guided for cooling the drive shaft, firstly, in a first direction and then in a second direction, where the water comes into direct contact with the inner side of the cavity at least in the first direction.

  • Patent number: 7607493
    Abstract: A hand-held electric power tool (2) includes a switching gear unit (6) which has at least two switching stages, including an impact mechanism (10) which can be switched on, and a mode switch (4) with which the switching gear unit (6) can be switched back and forth between the switching stages. The impact mechanism (10) can be switched on and off, and the mode switch (4) is movement-coupled with a gear unit switching mechanism (16) of the switching gear unit (6) and with an impact mechanism switching mechanism (18) of the impact mechanism (10). The impact mechanism switching mechanism (18) has a swiveling mechanism which can be swiveled by the mode switch (4) between an active position, in which the impact mechanism (10) can be activated, and a passive position in which the impact mechanism (10) is deactivated.
