  • Publication number: 20240042590
    Abstract: A handle for a power tool, wherein the handle has a switch-on lock and an operating switch. The handle is characterized in that the switch-on lock is configured to prevent contact between a spring element of the operating switch and an electronic switching element in a blocking position of the switch-on lock and to permit same in an operating position of the switch-on lock. In a second aspect, the invention relates to a power tool having a handle. In further aspects, the invention relates to methods for switching on a power tool and for switching off and locking a power tool, wherein contact between the operating switch and an electronic switching element can be prevented in a blocking position and permitted in an operating position.

  • Publication number: 20240001526
    Abstract: A power tool having a first handle, a second handle, and a main body, wherein the second handle projects beyond a rear side of the main body of the power tool by a length a in order to protect the power tool in the event of a fall. In other words, this means that the second handle projects beyond the main body of the power tool in a rear spatial direction and thus forms an overlap to protect the power tool and especially the rechargeable batteries thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230415324
    Abstract: A power tool having an air cooling system. A special air guidance system is proposed, the components of the power tool, such as a motor, transmission or electronics of the power tool, can be supplied in a particularly efficient manner with a cooling air flow around them and in this way can be cooled. In this case, the cooling system should, in particular, be independent of any components of the housing of the power tool since the air guidance is advantageously brought about by internal guidance processes, wherein these internal guidance processes preferably take place independently of components of the housing of the power tool. In particular, the housing-independent air cooling of the components of the power tool is achieved by the provision of a fan on a rotor of the motor of the power tool, which is designed, by means of a reduced pressure, to produce a cooling air flow and guide it in a suitable manner through the power tool.

  • Publication number: 20220176511
    Abstract: A protection device for a power tool is provided. The power tool can be, in particular, a hand-held battery-operated power tool, such as a cut-off grinder. The power tool preferably has main components in a main region, such as a motor, transmission and rechargeable batteries, which are protected effectively from mechanical damage, e.g. when dropped, by the protection device. Moreover, the protection device prevents the transmission of vibrations in the power tool to the user. In a second aspect, the invention relates to a system which comprises a protection device and a power tool.
