  • Patent number: 11958175
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11858102
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool having a motor-driven impact mechanism and monostable operating button. A locking switch for the monostable operating button has a sliding direction, an actuating knob, a catch and a sliding block, wherein the actuating knob is able to be moved by the user in the sliding direction from a releasing position to a locking position. The catch is pivotable in a pivoting direction perpendicular to the switching direction between a first position and a second position. The catch is disengaged from the operating button 6 in the first position and the catch engages in the operating button in the second position, arresting the operating button in the pressed position. The catch has, on a side facing in the pivoting direction, a slotted-guide face that is inclined with respect to the sliding direction. The sliding block bears on the slotted-guide face.

  • Publication number: 20230311289
    Abstract: A hammer drill having an impact mechanism and a rotary drive, wherein the hammer drill is designed to rotate a tool at a speed n about a longitudinal axis of the tool and to drive it with an output impact power PS along the longitudinal axis with a striking movement is disclosed. At a working point, at least one condition is met: 1. The ratio of the output impact power PS to the speed n is at least 3.5 W/rpm; 2. Depending on the output impact power PS, the speed n is at most (PSAN?300)2/2000+150) rpm; 3. In the event of an infinitesimal change in the output impact power PS, the speed n changes by at most 0.1 rpm/W.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20180207783
    Abstract: A portable power tool has an exciter piston guided along a movement axis in a guide tube and a striker coupled to the exciter piston. A connecting rod is fastened to a piston pin in the exciter piston and to an electric motor. A bearing for supporting the piston pin is formed by a piston head of the exciter piston and a closure plate inserted into the exciter piston. A rotary closure is formed by a groove, extending in a direction of rotation about the movement axis, in the piston wall and by a radially protruding fin on the closure plate. A detent for locking the fin counter to the direction of rotation is pivotable in the radial direction between a locking position and a releasing position. The detent is deflected beyond the external dimensions of the piston wall in the radial direction in the releasing position.

  • Patent number: 9339976
    Abstract: 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.
