  • Patent number: 8783377
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool, in particular an impact driver, an impact drill, or a rotary hammer, is proposed, which has a drive unit and/or output with at least one line of action, which produces at least oscillations along the line of action. In order to reduce these oscillations, the hand-held power tool is equipped with at least one vibration absorber unit. The vibration absorber unit has at least one mobile vibration absorbing element, which has at least one degree of freedom of movement. This degree of freedom of movement encloses at least one angle not equal to zero with the line of action.

  • Patent number: 8464805
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hand-held power tool for predominantly percussively driven tool attachments, in particular hammer drills and/or chisel-action hammers. The power tool includes a percussion axis and an intermediate shaft that is parallel to the percussion axis in which a first stroke generating device having a first stroke element for a percussion drive is arranged in or on the intermediate shaft and can be driven by the intermediate shaft. Additionally, at least one other second stroke generating device having at least one second stroke element is provided for driving a counter oscillator. A phase displacement that is different from zero and that is unequal to 180° takes place between a movement of the first stroke element and a movement of at least one second stroke element.

  • Patent number: 8424615
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for a hand-held machine tool, particularly a pistol-shaped hand-held machine tool, which includes at least one first auxiliary unit, and a coupling mechanism that is used for coupling the first auxiliary unit and the hand-held machine tool. An example of the invention includes a suction unit as the first auxiliary unit for collecting debris from a hand-held drilling tool. The system also provides for at least one additional auxiliary unit to be coupled to the held-held power tool by the coupling mechanism. An example of the invention includes an illuminating element as an additional auxiliary unit which can be coupled to the tool with the coupling mechanism so as to be interchangeable with the first auxiliary unit.

  • Patent number: 8245791
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hand-held tool, in particular a rotary hammer, a percussion hammer, or a sabre saw. The hand-held tool is equipped with a drive unit and a stroke-generating element; the drive unit is embodied to move the stroke-generating element in a reciprocating fashion along a translation axis. The hand-held tool has at least one counterweight; the counterweight is operatively connected to the drive unit in such a way that it is possible to at least partially compensate for forces at least indirectly caused by the reciprocating motion. According to the invention, the counterweight in the hand-held tool is supported so that it is able to move, in particular to reciprocate, coaxial or parallel to the translation axis.
