  • Patent number: 10792797
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hand-held tool, in particular a nail-setting device, comprising a handle for manual actuation of the hand-held tool, an interface for fastening the hand-held tool to a remote actuation device, a control apparatus for controlling the hand-held tool in a manual mode and in a remote actuation mode, and a querying apparatus for querying whether the hand-held tool is fastened to a remote actuation device, wherein the control apparatus controls the hand-held tool in the manual mode if the querying apparatus detects that the hand-held tool is not fastened to a remote actuation device, and wherein the control apparatus controls the hand-held tool in the remote actuation mode if the querying apparatus detects that the hand-held tool is fastened to a remote actuation device.

  • Publication number: 20140158739
    Abstract: Nailing device (1), comprising a housing (2), a nail cartridge (5), a setting mechanism for the setting of the nails, a bolt guiding element (6) for placement on the object (16) into which the nails are to be introduced, so that the bolt guiding element (6) is used for the setting of the nails and for the support for the nailing device, a trigger (7) for the activation of the setting mechanism, a supporting foot (8) for the additional support of the nailing device (1); it should be possible to drive the nails into the object (16) without a special alignment of the nailing device (1) by the operator, essentially vertically relative to a hypothetical object plane (17) spanned by the surface of the object (16) into which the nails are driven. This goal is attained in that the supporting foot (8) is provided with two supporting elements (9, 10) for a two-point contact, so that the nailing device (1) together with the bolt guiding element (6) has a three-point contact.
