Abstract: A drive assembly and system include a drive, controllable to exhibit a selected one of a plurality of drive modes that include driving the drive in one of a first driving direction and a second driving direction, the second driving direction being directed opposite relative to the first driving direction, a pump that is drivable by the drive and configured to produce a hydraulic flow to flow in a flow direction independent of the first or second driving direction of the selected drive mode, and a control valve that is configured to be set in a valve position associated with the selected drive mode and configured to thereby direct the hydraulic flow produced by the pump depending on the selected drive mode of the drive along a selected one or more of a plurality of flow paths that are arranged downstream of the pump.

Abstract: A forcible entry tool includes at least a cutter and a spreader. The forcible entry tool further includes a first tool portion having a first cutter part and a first spreader part. The forcible entry tool further includes a second tool portion having a second cutter part and a second spreader part. The first tool portion and the second tool portion are rotatable relative to one another to apply force to either or both of the cutter and the spreader.

Abstract: A method for selectively coupling or uncoupling a coupling with a release, arranged between the supply conduit and a cylinder, on the basis of pressure in a supply conduit. The method includes providing an operating pressure prevailing in the supply conduit in order to provide hydraulic liquid to the cylinder on the basis thereof and providing an uncoupling pressure prevailing in the supply conduit for the purpose of activating shut-off valves in the supply conduit and on the cylinder and activating a release which uncouples the coupling. A coupling for respectively coupling and uncoupling a supply conduit which is connected to the coupling to/from a cylinder, as well as to an assembly including a pump, a cylinder, a supply conduit between the pump and the cylinder, and such a coupling.

Abstract: A portable tool, capable of being moved by persons, users and/or operators, includes a motor; a fluid reservoir; a pump connected to the reservoir and the motor; a work cylinder connected to an output of the pump; an actuable tool component connected to the work cylinder; a sensor in the recue tool connected to any one or more than one of the motor, the reservoir, the pump, the work cylinder, and the tool; a controller configured to receive measurement signals from the sensor; and at least one controlled valve in a hydraulic circuit defined by the reservoir, the pump and the work cylinder and connected to the controller. The controlled valve and the controller are configured to selectively at least substantially block or open any fluid channel in the hydraulic circuit. A pump of or for such a rescue tool.

Abstract: A tool includes at least one motor, and a pump connected to the motor, a work cylinder in fluid connection with the pump and an actuable tool component connected to the work cylinder. The pump and the motor are arranged directly adjacent on a common singular motor and pump shaft, without any intervening coupling, transmission or the like. An assembly of a motor and a pump on a common shaft.

Abstract: A portable tool capable of being moved by persons, users and/or operators includes a motor; an actuable tool component at least connectable to the work cylinder; an add-on from a group at least including an extension, a connection and a fork, configured to be placed on the tool; and a controller connected to the motor and configured to determine presence of the add-on on the tool to selectively increase or reduce motor force and/or speed, depending on detected presence or absence of the add-on.

Abstract: An extrication rescue tool, configured to open an extrication passage for extricating a victim in a plight, such as a car wreck or a collapsed building. The extrication rescue tool includes a extendable element, which is selectively extendable by a drive along an extension path and configured to forcibly maintain or enlarge an extrication passage to thereby allow extrication of the victim through the extrication passage. When the extendable element is extended an illuminator is oriented along the extension path of the extendable element to identify obstacles in the extension path.
