  • Patent number: 12516763
    Abstract: A connector for coupling a particle outlet of a handheld machine tool to a particle receiving device is described. The connector has a tube-shaped inlet portion extending along an inlet axis and a tube-shaped outlet portion extending along an outlet axis. The tube-shaped outlet portion is for coupling to the particle receiving device. The inlet portion has a body section and an engagement section. The engagement section is resiliently coupled to the body section. The engagement section has an engagement geometry for mating with an engagement counter-geometry on the particle outlet, such that a positive locking effective along a circumferential direction is provided between the engagement geometry and the engagement counter-geometry. Moreover, a lock is coupled to the inlet portion. The lock is for selectively blocking a movement of the engagement section relative to the body section.

  • Publication number: 20250319624
    Abstract: A blocking element for an emergency brake unit of a sawing device has a circular disc-shaped saw blade. The blocking element has a bearing portion, via which the blocking element is configured to be mounted on the sawing device, a head portion which is designed to engage into the saw blade selectively for braking purposes, and a deformation portion which is located between the bearing portion and the head portion and/or connects the bearing portion and the head portion to one another and which is arcuate and designed to be plastically shortened to brake the saw blade in an arc circumferential direction. A sawing device has a circular disc-shaped saw blade and an emergency brake unit. The emergency brake unit has such a blocking element which is mounted on the sawing device such that it can engage selectively into the saw blade to brake the saw blade.

  • Publication number: 20250319623
    Abstract: A sawing device has a frame, a circular disc-shaped saw blade mounted rotatably with respect to the frame, and an emergency brake unit. The emergency brake unit has a blocking element, an actuator unit and a control unit. The blocking element has a bearing portion and a head portion designed to engage into the saw blade selectively for braking. The actuator unit is coupled to the blocking element in a normal blocking element position, such that the blocking element engages with the saw blade selectively with the actuator unit. The blocking element can be selectively disassembled from the frame separately from the actuator unit and/or from the control unit. A triggered emergency brake unit of a sawing device ready for operation may be provided. In this regard, a blocking element is disassembled separately from the actuator unit and/or separately from the control unit and an unused blocking element is mounted.

  • Patent number: 11344955
    Abstract: A guide template having a tool guide for a working tool, for producing a main-side cut-out on a workpiece main-side surface of a workpiece which workpiece has a workpiece secondary-side surface, which is at an angle to the workpiece main-side surface and proceeding from which a secondary-side cut-out extends into the workpiece next to the workpiece main-side surface at a distance therefrom, wherein the guide template includes a main-side stop having a main-side stop surface for making contact with the workpiece main-side surface and includes a secondary-side stop, which has an engagement protrusion for engaging the secondary-side cut-out, wherein a longitudinal axis of the engagement protrusion extends toward the tool guide to an intersection region, in which the main-side cut-out to be produced and the secondary-side cut-out intersect, and is at an angle to a guide longitudinal axis of the tool guide, wherein the guide template includes a depth stop having a depth stop surface for a counter stop assigned to
