  • Publication number: 20240005710
    Abstract: Release mechanism for an electronic locking system, wherein the release mechanism is configured such that an input member and an output member are locked against relative rotation and can rotate together within a locking ring opening when a locking member is located in an input member recess and in an output member recess, and such that the output member is released to rotate relative to the input member when the locking member is located in the output member recess and in a locking ring recess. A freewheel mechanism and assemblies for an electronic locking system are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10745935
    Abstract: Assembly (10) for an electronic locking system (84), the assembly (10) comprising an actuating element (12) rotatably arrangable with respect to a base member (16) for rotation about a first axis (18) and rotatably arranged about a second axis (24) substantially perpendicular to the first axis (18), an electric generator (74) comprising a rotor (76), and a transmission arrangement (82) configured to transmit a rotational actuation of the actuating element (12) about the second axis (24) into a rotation of the rotor (76) of the electric generator (74) to generate electric energy.

  • Patent number: 10099351
    Abstract: A hand held power tool, for delivering a torque to a joint, includes a housing that houses a motor arranged to drive an input shaft; an output shaft arranged to provide a torque to the joint; and a planetary gear connecting the input shaft to the output shaft. A flywheel is arranged to rotate freely with respect to the housing. A cam block, loosely fitted inside the housing, is rotatively connected to a part of the planetary gear and connected to the housing via a cam profile, wherein an interaction between the cam block and the cam profile will force the cam block into contact with the flywheel when the cam block is rotated. Thus, any counterforces acting on the output shaft will be provided to the flywheel via the planetary gear, such that the operator will not need to provide any counterforces.

  • Publication number: 20160184983
    Abstract: A hand held power tool, for delivering a torque to a joint, includes a housing, a motor, an output shaft, and a flywheel which is arranged in bearings with respect to the housing. A selection gear is arranged to selectively connect the motor to either the output shaft, or the flywheel, such that the flywheel may be set to rotate before a tightening operation and wherein the rotation of the flywheel may be used to decrease the counter forces acting on the power tool.

  • Patent number: 8991779
    Abstract: The invention concerns a power tool holder which includes at least two clamping parts mutually movably connected to each other by at least one adjustable connection part, the at least two clamping parts each having a clamping surface which face each other and have a clamping space formed between them, wherein a power tool can be clamped by an adjustment of the connection part to move the clamping parts together. At least one clamping part includes at least one through hole located adjacent to the clamping surface of said clamping part, such that the clamping surface will flex when subjected to pressure on clamping a power tool.
