  • Patent number: 11268534
    Abstract: A blower wheel is provided with a base member having an axis of rotation and with a rotor of a generator, wherein the rotor is fixedly secured on the blower wheel. At least one magnet is arranged on the rotor. An inertia ring is fixedly secured on the base member at a spacing to the at least one magnet. The inertia ring is made of a first material having a first density and the base member is made of a second material having a second density. The first density is greater than the second density.

  • Patent number: 9518616
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool is provided with a drive motor and a clutch connected to the drive motor. The drive motor drives a tool member through the clutch. The clutch has a clutch drum with a circumferential wall provided with an end face. A follower member engages a groove in the circumferential wall of the clutch drum and a driven element is connected to the follower member to be driven by the follower member. The groove extends from the end face of the circumferential wall into the circumferential wall and has a groove bottom and two groove sides positioned opposite each other. The circumferential wall has a protrusion located at the groove bottom. The protrusion has a protrusion thickness measured at the groove bottom that amounts to at least approximately 110% of a wall thickness of the circumferential wall measured at the two groove sides.

  • Publication number: 20110031248
    Abstract: A closure device for a vessel for holding an operating medium includes a tank closure (2) and a tank stub (1). The tank stub (1) defines a fill opening having a sealing surface (16) disposed therearound. The tank closure (2) includes an outer part (6) and an inner part (8) which are limitedly movable toward one another in the axial direction of the tank stub (1). The inner part (8) does not rotate but is guided axially displaceably in the tank stub (1) and the outer part (6) is rotatable relative to the inner part (8) on the tank stub (1) so as to be fix-tightly screwable thereon. A spring (26) is provided between the outer part (6) and the inner part (8). The spring biases the inner part (8) against the sealing surface (16) on the tank stub (1).
