  • Patent number: 11306446
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool has a lower mass and an upper mass. The lower mass has a tool and a working device for causing the tool to effect a work movement. The upper mass is movable relative to the lower mass and has a drive motor for the working device. A first vibration decoupling device is arranged between the lower mass and the upper mass for decoupling the upper mass from the lower mass in terms of vibration. A guide drawbar guides is provided for guiding the work tool by an operator. An electrical energy storage provides electrical energy for starting the drive motor. A drawbar carrier is carried by the upper mass and is connected to the upper mass via a second vibration decoupling device. The guide drawbar is attached to the drawbar carrier, and the energy storage is carried by the drawbar carrier.

  • Patent number: 11189856
    Abstract: A method and production equipment for producing a battery and a motor vehicle with such a battery. In the method, at least one battery module is positioned and attached in a provided battery housing such that it covers at least one gap provided in a housing base of the battery housing. The housing base is then bent, outward along the gap, whereby a cavity is enlarged between the battery module and the housing base. A viscous heat-conductive filler is then supplied into the cavity through the gap. Subsequently, the bending of the housing base is reversed by pushing the housing base back in the direction of the battery module.
