  • Patent number: 11359421
    Abstract: A compression latch includes a cylindrical housing (1). A locking shaft (2) is rotatably and axially movable in the housing. The locking shaft includes an axial free end (14) that engages a locking element (12). A cylindrical sleeve (3) engages an axial end of the locking shaft opposed of the free end. The sleeve includes an axially tapered annular sleeve slot (19) in which a shaft engagement pin (7) is engaged to cause axial movement of the locking shaft with rotational movement sleeve until the pin engages a slot end. After pin engagement with the slot end, further rotation of the sleeve causes rotation of the locking shaft. A cylindrical securing element (4) is rotatably engaged with and is axially movable relative to the sleeve. The securing element includes a circumferentially extending guiding recess (17) and a transversely extending latching recess (18).

  • Patent number: 10604966
    Abstract: A casement lock (1) includes an actuation lug (2); a locking shaft (3) coupled to the actuation lug (2) and having two opposite flattened axial regions (5) at a free end (4) of the locking shaft and a circumferential profiling (6) between the flattened axial regions (5); and a cage (8) supporting a closure element (7) configured to be placed with an opening (9) on the free end (4) of the locking shaft (3) and fixed to the locking shaft (3). A locking element (14) is provided on the cage (8), which, in a locking position, secures the cage (8) on the locking shaft (3) against tilting. In a release position of the locking element (14), the cage (8) can be tilted relative to the locking shaft (3) and is moveable in an axial direction along the locking shaft (3) only in a state when tilted relative to the locking shaft (3).

  • Patent number: 10132659
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system (100) for processing measurement data and/or measurement parameter data which are read from a calibratable tool. The invention is characterized in that said system comprises a data conversion device (11) or protocol conversion device which, on the one hand, can be connected to a tool (10) via an interface in order to read the measurement data from the tool (10), and which, on the other hand, can be connected to a data processing device (12) via the same interface or an additional interface, wherein the data conversion device (11) performs a protocol conversion and/or a check of the measurement values so that measurement data from the different tools (10b, 10c, 10d) can be read with the aid of different interfaces and/or protocols by the data conversion device (11), the system thus allowing the use of tools with different protocols.

  • Patent number: 9229232
    Abstract: A display system for a torque tool which is provided for measuring or applying torque comprises a housing having a handle at one end. A measuring arrangement for detecting torque is arranged in the housing. At the other end of the housing a connection element is provided for transmitting torque to a workpiece. Furthermore, a processor-controlled control digitally processes set or measured data and a display cooperates with the control and displays graphic display contents or data, such as the applied or set torque. A transmission device and a separate display device for transmitting and displaying the graphical display contents or data are provided.

  • Patent number: 9089953
    Abstract: A ratcheting tool comprises a drive housing provided with a housing cover and an actuating lever. A drive is arranged in the drive housing, wherein the drive comprises a rotary part with toothing rotatably supported in the drive housing. A connector serves for receiving plug-on or plug-in tools. A locking pawl is pivotally arranged in the drive housing, wherein the locking pawl comprises a toothing which engages the toothing of the rotary part for transmitting torque in one direction of rotation. A switch sets the direction of rotation and the engagement of the toothing of the locking pawl into the toothing of the rotary part. A hinge connection connects the locking pawl to the switch, wherein the switch comprises a switching pin which is rotatably supported in the drive housing.
