  • Patent number: 10562171
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool transmission closure having a base body for closing a transmission housing opening of a transmission housing of a hand-held power tool, in particular a hammer drill or a combi-hammer, wherein the hand-held power tool transmission closure includes a tube protruding from the base body, which extends in the transmission housing when the base body closes the transmission housing opening. The hand-held power tool transmission closure includes an air channel which extends in a first air channel section through the base body and in a second air channel section through the tube so that an air mass can flow through the air channel into and out of the transmission housing.

  • Patent number: 10286537
    Abstract: A portable power tool is disclosed. The tool has a tool holder in which a tool can be moveably inserted on a working axis in a striking direction. A percussion mechanism has a striker coupled via a pneumatic chamber to an exciter moved periodically along the working axis and an intermediate striker arranged in the striking direction downstream from striker. The intermediate striker is guided in a slide bearing with a tolerance coaxially to the working axis. The intermediate striker has a ring-shaped bead. A hollow-cylindrical backstop is arranged in the striking direction upstream from the bead. The backstop is moveably guided on a sliding surface with radial play along working axis. The radial play is at least three times as large as a tolerance of the guide of the intermediate striker in the slide bearing.

  • Patent number: 9067312
    Abstract: The tool holder according to the invention for a chipping hammer has a tool receptacle for receiving a tool and a tool securing device for securing the tool in the tool receptacle. The tool securing device provides a shaft having an eccentrically arranged mandrel and at least one end piece and a bar having at least one eye in which the end piece engages in a form-fitting manner. The tool securing device is pivotable into at least one first position for inserting and removing the tool and into at least one second position for securing the tool. The eye has a non-circular cross-section.

  • Patent number: 7201083
    Abstract: A depth stop device (14) for use with a hand-held screw driving tool (2) includes an axial element (32) for driving a screw bit (34) and a sleeve element (20) having a longitudinal bore (30) in which the axial element (32) is at least partially received and an exit opening (36) extending sidewise from the longitudinal bore (30). The exit opening (36) is limited by a deflection surface (40) which is stretched over an intersection plane (SE) and has a geometrical center (M) that forms an origin of a spatial system of coordinates. The intersection plane (SE) forms with a tangential axis (T) of the spatial coordinate system that extends perpendicular to both the longitudinal (L) and radial (R) axis of the coordinate system, an acute angle (?).
