Patent number: 11958175Abstract: A handheld power tool has a monostable operating button 6 which has a stable switching position and a pressed switching position. A catch 32 which can be pivoted between a releasing position and a locking position in a pivoting direction 34 is provided, wherein the catch 32, in the locking position, stops the monostable operating button 6 in the pressed switching position. An operating knob 30 can be moved by the user in a shifting direction 31 which is perpendicular to the pivoting direction 34. The catch 32 is attached to the operating knob 30 by means of a joint 36. A slotted link 38 converts a movement of the catch 32 along the shifting direction 31 into a pivoting movement in the pivoting direction 34.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Eric Filip, Jerome Jaromin, Olaf Koch

Patent number: 9339976Abstract: A method using a tool for producing a fiber composite component includes a planar fiber lay-up placed on a carrier mold, provided with a stiffening section protruding from the lay-up and pressed between parts of a molding tool. A chamber sealed from the mold is formed by an air-tight film enclosing the tool, the lay-up and the stiffening section. The chamber is connected to a resin supply line and a vacuum line. Resin is aspirated by negative pressure applied to the vacuum line, and the lay-up and the stiffening section are saturated by resin to form the fiber composite component. Air and resin are drawn between the parts of the tool, through the stiffening section and into a suction channel extending in the tool and connected to the vacuum line through a suction opening of the tool, for conducting air and/or resin.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2012Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: FACC AGInventors: Gernot Schneiderbauer, Olaf Koch
