  • Patent number: 11751745
    Abstract: An electric device as a first or system component for a system which includes a first system component including at least one of a machine tool and a vacuum cleaner and, a second system component including an electric energy storage module to provide electric energy for the first system component. The system components have device interfaces compatible with one another for detachable fastening to one another and for the transmission of electric energy from the energy storage module to the machine tool or the vacuum cleaner. The electric device has a communication interface for a wireless control connection to or from a vacuum cleaner to actuate the vacuum cleaner. The device interfaces are electrically or mechanically separated from one another in a separation status and are electrically or mechanically connected to one another in an operating status.
