  • Patent number: 12202053
    Abstract: The invention relates to a machine tool with a tool receiving device that is movable around an output shaft. The tool receiving device is designed to hold a tool device on the machine tool such that the output shaft and a tool rotation axis substantially coincide. The tool receiving device has at least one torque transmission region and a holding device. To transmit a driving force to the tool device, the torque transmission region has at least two output area regions arranged at a distance from said output shaft, with each having a multiplicity of surface points. The tangent planes to said surface points are inclined in regard to an axial plane including said output shaft. The tangent planes are inclined in regard to a radial plane extending perpendicularly to the output shaft. The machine tool thus transmits the output torque to the tool device via the tool receiving device.

  • Publication number: 20230286059
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool device which is suitable for use with a machine tool, in particular a hand guided machine tool, having a driving device moving, in particular in an oscillating manner, around a driving axis. The tool device has an attachment device which allows it to be fastened on a machine tool such that its driving axis and an axis of rotation of the tool substantially coincide. The attachment device, for absorbing the driving force, has at least two driving area regions, which are spaced apart from said tool axis of rotation and each has a plurality of surface points. The tangent planes to said surface-area points are inclined in regard to an axial plane, which encloses the tool axis of rotation. Furthermore, said tangent planes are inclined regard to a radial plane which extends perpendicularly to the tool axis of rotation. This means that the torque introduced into the tool device by the machine tool, via the driving device, is reliably absorbed.

  • Patent number: 10471518
    Abstract: The invention relates to a machine tool, in particular a hand held machine tool, which has a tool-accommodating device which can be moved, in particular in oscillating fashion, about a drive axis, in order to retain a tool device on the machine tool. The tool-accommodating device has at least one clamping device, at least one retaining device and at least one locking device. The retaining device can be moved from at least one first, open position into at least one second, closed position. It is also the case that the retaining device can be forced by a clamping force, by way of the clamping device, preferably in the closing direction from said first, open position in the direction of said second, closed position. The locking device can be moved between at least one first, locking position and at least one second, unlocking position. It is possible here for said locking device to block movement of the retaining device in at least one locking position.

  • Patent number: 10029349
    Abstract: A retaining body for a grinding structure, in particular a grinding wheel, includes a fixing layer with a fixing surface. The fixing surface has a fixing structure configured to fix a flexible grinding structure, and includes a support body with a support surface. The support surface supports a fixing layer retaining surface that lies opposite the fixing surface, and is connected to the retaining surface. The support body is air- and dust-permeable, and includes an air- and dust-permeable material. The fixing layer is configured such that the fixing surface is substantially air- and dust-permeable in a direction that runs substantially perpendicular to the fixing surface, and such that an air flow can pass from the fixing surface through the fixing layer in a substantially perpendicular manner relative to the fixing surface.
