Patent number: 12076838Abstract: A screwdriver tool including a gear ratio arranged in a handle for multiplying a rotation angle transmitted from the hand to a blade protruding from the handle. A blocking element can be rotated from a release position, in which a first handle section can be rotated relative to a second handle section for the purpose of quick-action screwing, into a blocking position, in which a blocking element secures the blade to the handle in a rotationally fixed manner. The switching between the release position and the blocking position occurs by means of a push-button arranged in the tip of the handle, which is moved back into its starting position in a spring-loaded manner after being actuated.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2020Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: WERA WERKZEUGE GMBHInventors: Michael Abel, Max Steinmetz

Publication number: 20230405778Abstract: A screw driving tool includes a torque output element which defines an axis and is mounted in a housing, a torque transmission section with a plurality of depressions, and a torque transmission element, which is pre-tensioned by the force of a force accumulator and engages into at least one of the depressions, for coupling the torque transmission section to the housing so as to transmit a torque. The coupling is released when the torque transmission element leaves the depression in an edge-controlled manner against the force of the force accumulator, which is adjustable by an adjustment device, when a limit torque is exceeded. A switchover element is movable from a release position into a blocking position and allows the torque transmission element to leave the depression in the release position but blocks the torque transmission element in the blocking position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventor: Michael Abel

Patent number: 11704109Abstract: Techniques for updating the firmware of a second cooking apparatus under the control of a first cooking apparatus controlling recipe execution by the first and second cooking apparatuses in a joint cooking process. The first cooking apparatus queries an update server to check if the current firmware version of the second cooking apparatus corresponds to the latest available firmware version for providing a particular cooking function. If the latest firmware version differs from the current firmware version, the latest firmware version is downloaded to the first cooking apparatus. The downloaded latest firmware version is uploaded to the second cooking apparatus while preventing interruption of the joint cooking process. Completion of the firmware update is registered by the first cooking apparatus after receipt of a confirmation from the second cooking apparatus. The first cooking apparatus the sends the recipe instructions for performing the particular cooking function to the second cooking apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Vorwerk & Co.

Publication number: 20210245339Abstract: A torque-limiting device having two torque transfer bodies, which, as a consequence of oblique flank contact during relative rotation about an axis, can be moved relative to each other in the direction of the axis against the restoring force of a spring element, which is supported on a shoulder of an abutment, the position of which shoulder is set during calibration of a limiting torque. The torque-limiting device is calibrated by applying a predefined force to the spring element. The resulting spring length defines the axial position of the shoulder of the abutment, which axial position is irreversibly fixed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2019Publication date: August 12, 2021Applicant: Wera Werkzeuge GmbHInventor: Michael Abel
