  • Patent number: 7644929
    Abstract: A very easy-to-actuate, replaceable tool fitting is comprised in that at least one movably supported profiled body (15) on an output spindle (1) or on the tool fitting (11) of the hand-held power tool and at least one profiled recess (7) on the output spindle (1) or on the tool fitting (11) are shaped and situated in such a way that when the tool fitting (11) is slid onto the output spindle (1), the at least one profiled body (15) engages in detent fashion in the at least one profiled recess (7), achieving both an axial locking and a rotary driving of the tool fitting (11) in relation to the output spindle (1) and means (6, 8, 14) are provided, which, through a rotating and sliding motion of the tool fitting (11) on the output spindle (1), guide the profiled body (15) into the profiled recess (7).

  • Patent number: 6887143
    Abstract: A power grinder, in particular an oscillating grinder (10), includes a platelike grinding sheet holder (14), on whose working face (15) a grinding sheet (16) can be braced. Secure clamping of the grinding sheet and easy changing of the grinding sheet are provided, because the grinding sheet (16) can be inserted between the clamping jaw (22) and the grinding sheet holder (14)—counter to the elastic prestressing of the clamping jaw (22)—and is firmly held increasingly strongly counter to the insertion direction in proportion to the tensile force engaging it.

  • Patent number: 6393701
    Abstract: An electrical manual power saw includes a machine housing that has a housing shaft and a housing head (102) holding an interchangeable tool, and an electrical drive for driving the tool in an oscillating reciprocating motion. The housing shaft, for the sake of attaining an ergonomically defined gripping position in the vicinity of an on/off switch, has a rod-like shape, and in the transition region between the rod-shaped housing shaft and the housing head, a construction is provided. The on/off switch is disposed laterally offset on the housing head, below the axis of the shaft in such a way that when the constriction is grasped by a hand of a user the thumb of the grasping hand rests on its actuation knob.
