  • Publication number: 20050202767
    Abstract: A dust-collecting receptacle for an electric hand machine tool, in particular an electric hand grinder, having a dust-collecting chamber (17), an inlet fitting (21), an exhaust opening (18), and a dust filter (20) situated between the dust-collecting chamber (17) and the exhaust opening (18). To achieve a compact design of the dust-collecting receptacle (14) that on the one hand, does not impair operation of the electric hand grinder or only does so to an insignificant degree and on the other hand, has a high dust-collecting efficiency, the inlet fitting (21), the dust-collecting chamber (17), the dust filter (20), and the exhaust opening (18) are situated one above another and preferably, the form of the dust-collecting receptacle (14) is adapted to the outer contour of the electric hand machine tool (FIG. 1).

  • Patent number: 6942558
    Abstract: The invention is based on a hand power tool that comprises a motor (12)—with a motor shaft 14—located in a housing (10), which said motor shaft is supported via a shaft bearing (18) located on a side closest to a backing pad (16) and that is interconnected in torsion-resistant fashion with an eccentric sleeve (22) in a seat (20). It is proposed that the eccentric sleeve (22) projects in the axial direction (56) at least partially into the shaft bearing (18), and at least part of the axial space of the shaft bearing (18) is used to form a drive connection with the eccentric sleeve (22).

  • Patent number: 6910960
    Abstract: A hand power tool (10), in particular with integrated dust removal, that comprises a housing (12) on which a dust tube (22) is mounted that is capable of being interconnected with a dust box (24) by means of its dust inlet connection piece (26), whereby a side wall (27) of the dust box (24) has through holes (25) that are reached over by a filter in dust-tight fashion, becomes less expensive and more environmentally friendly by the fact that the filter (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 300) is formed by a flat sheet composed of a fine-pored material, the surface area of which is increased by means of certain structures.

  • Publication number: 20050124275
    Abstract: An abrasive pad for a manual grinding machine, in particular for an eccentric grinder, has a flat contact surface (13) on which an abrasive sheet is placed, and attachment means located on the contact surface (13) for creating an adhesive connection with the abrasive sheet. To reduce the production costs of the abrasive pad, it is made entirely—including the attachment means—of plastic using a single-component injection molding procedure, whereby the attachment means are designed preferably as hook-type fasteners (18) which extend out of the contact surface (13) (FIG. 1).

  • Patent number: 6857949
    Abstract: An electrical power grinder, in particular an eccentric grinder, is disclosed that has a grinding wheel (14) and a grinding-medium holder (23), held on the underside thereof, of soft material. For the sake of reducing wear of the grinding-medium holder (23) at its outer edge and lengthening the service life of the grinding-medium holder, the grinding wheel (14) is provided with an edge guard, which has a guard member (30) encompassing the grinding wheel (14) that protrudes, in the plane of the grinding wheel, past the outer contour of the grinding-medium holder (23) (FIG. 3).

  • Patent number: 6810782
    Abstract: A tool fastening mechanism has a housing 2, in which a clamping opening 3 is embodied for receiving a tapering tool shaft clamping end 4 of a tool part 5. The clamping opening 3 tapers inward in the introduction direction of the clamping end 4 of a tool part 5, and furthermore the tapering sides are inclined toward one another in a plane extending perpendicular to the introduction direction, as a result of which the opening has a trapezoidal cross section, and the length of this cross section decreases away from the orifice of the clamping opening 3. The housing 2 furthermore has a transverse opening 7, which intersects the clamping opening 3 and in which a locking pin 8 is received.

  • Patent number: 6641634
    Abstract: A manual machine tool (10) includes a vacuum device for dust removal (19) situated in its housing (12) and a blow-out connection (20) installed after this. A dust collection box (21), particulaily self-contained, can be attached in detachable fashion to the blow-out connection (20) via its blow-in connection (22). The dust collection box (21) is airtight on all but two sides and has air-exit holes (40) on the top side (36) and a dustproof filter element (48)—especially a fluted filter—on the inside. The dust collection box is particularly secure against the unintentional escape of dust after the dust collection box is detached from the associated manual machine tool because a pair of sealing lips (500) arranged as a separate part is provided inside the blow-in connection (22), which pair of sealing lips (500) is connected as a single part with closing flaps (520, 520) projecting into the interior of the dust collection box (210).
