Abstract: A power impact device, particularly for fasteners, comprises a propelling passage, a driver movable in the propelling passage, a magazine for fasteners and crossing the propelling passage, and an abutment arranged for positioning a set of fasteners for separating a frontmost fastener by the driver, the abutment being formed so that only a part of the cross-section of the set of fasteners is supported and so that it is displaceable relative to the propelling passage, the driver having a cross-section which deviates from a cross-section of the propelling passage over a fit tolerance so as to allow narrowing of the propelling passage without preventing movement of the driver and reducing its thickness.

Abstract: A shaft seal for a rotatable shaft which is surrounded by a substantially rigid structural element, has a ring-shaped body portion adapted to be supported by the structural element and having an axis and two axially spaced end faces, a radially displaceable ring-shaped inner portion located radially inwardly of the body portion, extending in an axial direction, and together with the body portion forming an axially extending gap, at least one sealing lip provided in the inner portion and subjected to radial vibrations during rotation of the shaft which vibrations are transmitted to the radially displaceable inner portion and displace the latter, and elements for damping radial vibrations of the sealing lip.
