Patents by Inventor Rafael GLOTTSCHLING

Rafael GLOTTSCHLING has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10328559
    Abstract: A drill includes a housing and a motor having a drive spindle. An output spindle is capable of being rotationally driven by the drive spindle via a torque clutch. The drill further includes a tangential impact mechanism for superimposing tangential impacts onto the output spindle when activated. The tangential impact mechanism includes a sleeve rotatably mounted on the output spindle, and an anvil rotatably mounted onto the output spindle. The sleeve is rotationally driven by the drive spindle via a gear system at a first rotational rate when the torque clutch is not slipping and at a second rotational rate when the torque clutch is slipping.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10328558
    Abstract: A drill includes a housing and a motor having a drive spindle. An output spindle is capable of being rotationally driven by the drive spindle via a torque clutch. The drill further includes atangential impact mechanism for superimposing tangential impacts onto the output spindle when activated. The tangential impact mechanism includes a sleeve rotatably mounted on the output spindle, and an anvil rotatably mounted onto the output spindle. The output spindle and the sleeve are rotationally driven by a planetary gear system comprising a ring gear, a sun gear and a planetary gear which is drivingly connected between the ring gear and sun gear.

  • Publication number: 20160195185
    Abstract: A planetary gear system includes a sun gear, a ring gear being co-axial with the sun gear, a planetary gear meshing with both the sun gear and the ring gear, and a planetary gear carrier rotationally supporting the planetary gear. A torque clutch is supported by and connecting the sun gear and the ring gear. The torque clutch prevents relative rotation of the sun gear and the ring gear below a predetermined torque value and allows relative rotation of the sun gear and the ring gear above the predetermined value.
