Patent number: 11858104Abstract: The portable power chiseling tool has a tool holder, an electric motor, a striking mechanism and an idle strike catcher. The tool holder can receive a tool and retain it movably on a working axis. The striking mechanism includes an exciter piston, a striker, an anvil and a guide for the anvil. The exciter piston is coupled to the electric motor. The guide guides the anvil on the working axis. The idle strike catcher for the anvil has a conical inner surface facing the anvil. The anvil has an associated end face facing in the striking direction. The end face rests against the conical inner surface when the anvil is in its forwardmost position in the striking direction. The end face of the anvil has a first segment and a second segment in the circumferential direction. The second segment is offset in the striking direction relative to the first segment.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Rory Britz, Rainer Ontl, Markus Hartmann

Patent number: 10493611Abstract: The hand-held power tool has a tool holder (2) for holding a tool (4) along a working axis (12). A hammer mechanism (6) has a striker (15) that is moved periodically along the working axis at an impact rate. A drive control (18) of the hammer mechanism (6) sets the impact rate to a set point value. A vibration absorber (19) has an oscillator (21) that moves along the working axis (12) about a resting position and one or multiple springs (20) that drive the oscillator (21) back into the resting position. A calibration phase comprises the following steps: detection of an acceleration using the acceleration sensor (24); determination of a minimum of the acceleration by varying the impact rate in a range of between 90% and 110% of the set point value; and adjusting the set point to the impact rate associated with the ascertained minimum.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2015Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Rainer Ontl, Damir Cehajic, Christoph Dieing

Patent number: 10369686Abstract: A hand-held power tool has a tool holder for holding a tool along a working axis. A hammer mechanism has a striker that is moved periodically at an impact rate along the working axis between a turning point in the proximity of the tool and a turning point remote from the tool. A drive control of the hammer mechanism sets the impact rate to a set point value. A vibration absorber has an oscillator that moves along the working axis about a resting position and one or multiple springs that drive the oscillator back into the resting position. A first sensor is used to determine a phase of the motion of the striker. A sensor is used to determine a first phase of a compression point of the hammer mechanism. Another sensor is used to determine a second phase of a turning point in the proximity of the tool, of the hammer mechanism. A damping controller adapts the set point value in such a way that a phase difference between the first phase and the second phase is less than a threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2015Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Rainer Ontl, Frank Kohlschmied, Christoph Dieing

Patent number: 9969073Abstract: A hand-held power tool is disclosed. The tool has a tool receptacle for holding a chiseling tool. A pneumatic percussion mechanism of the hand-held power tool includes a striker, an exciter and a guide tube. The striker is designed to apply impacts in the impact direction to the tool. The exciter is motor-driven. The striker is coupled by an air spring to the reciprocating movement of the exciter. The striker abutting the guide tube is guided along a working axis. During a movement between an impact position and the exciter, the striker is guided with a constant guide length on the guide tube and if the impact position is exceeded in the impact direction, the guide length is reduced. The hand-held power tool is equipped with an inclined guide, which inclines the striker relative to the working axis when the impact position is exceeded.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2013Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Rainer Ontl, Damir Cehajic, Christoph Dieing, Christian Rehekampff
