  • Patent number: 7987918
    Abstract: An electric hand-held power tool has a housing, a double-shelled handle attached axially to the housing, a selector ring pivotably located in the housing, and an actuating element supported by the selector ring and swivelable manually. The housing and the handle have a line connecting domes oriented parallel to an axis of the housing and located in a parting plane region between the housing and the handle for receiving connecting units. The connecting domes include centering elements for guiding and exactly positioning the handle shells when the handle shells are attached individually to the housing.

  • Patent number: 7518281
    Abstract: An electric motor includes carbon brushes (5) disposed in a holder (6) that are pressed by means of a spring force (7) in a radial direction against a jacket face of a cylindrical collector (4) that is fixed to an armature shaft (2) of the motor. The holder (6) for the carbon brushes (5) can be removed from the motor with little effort as a result of a provision of covering means (11, 12) that cover a pivot bearing (3) of the armature shaft (2) to protect it against the entry of dirt on a side of the covering means (11, 12) facing the holder (6) for the carbon brushes (5), provided with one or more chamfers (14, 15) in such a way that the carbon brushes (5) slide over the covering means (11, 12) as the holder (6) is being pulled off and that the carbon brushes (5) thereby are thrust radially outward counter to the spring force (7).

  • Patent number: 4567951
    Abstract: In a drill hammer a motor driven striking mechanism is provided with two air cushions of changeable volumes, through which impact energy is transmitted from the motor to a reciprocating striker which in turn transmits the energy to a tool of the drill hammer. When the striker moves in the direction towards the tool both air cushions act on the striker whereas when the striker moves away from the tool only one of two air cushions acts on the striker.
