  • Patent number: 11931875
    Abstract: A power tool operable with an exchangeable tool head, and comprising a tool body, and a hydraulic cylinder with a main piston A quick coupling system is arranged at a free end of the tool body and includes an actuation unit and a locking unit movable by the actuation unit between a released position and a locked position to secure the exchangeable head to the tool body. Thee locking unit comprises a first and a second half-ring radially movable between the released position and the locked position. When in the locked position the locking unit is adapted to secure the exchangeable head to the tool body, such that transmission forces can be exchanged between the exchangeable head and the main piston. When in the released position the locking unit is adapted to release any force applied to the exchangeable head to remove the exchangeable head.

  • Publication number: 20230088493
    Abstract: Power tool for performing work on an object such as crimping or cutting the object, the tool having vents in the tool housing for enabling airflow, wherein such vents have a partition member extending across them for restricting liquid water and dust ingress, and method of assembly. Power tool for performing work on an object, the tool having a switch, wherein the switch is provided on a support that is clamped between opposing tool housing portions for forming a seal to restrict the ingress of liquid water into the tool housing interior via the switch, and method of assembly. Power tool for performing work on an object, the tool having an arrangement of light emitting elements directed towards an operative part of the tool for indicating operational information to a user without requiring the user to remove their gaze from the operative part of the tool in use.

  • Publication number: 20210039153
    Abstract: A punch tool assembly for punch cutting a workpiece is disclosed. The punch tool assembly connectable to a movable piston. The punch tool assembly has a draw stud, a removable connector for connecting the draw stud to the piston, and a die receiving the draw stud therethrough. The die is disposed on a side of the workpiece. A quick-release nut engages the draw stud. The nut is disposed on the other side of the workpiece. The nut has threaded nut segments that threadingly engage the draw stud, and at least one spring biasing the nut segments towards each other. A cutter is disposed on the draw stud between the other side of the workpiece and the nut.

  • Patent number: 8800672
    Abstract: A propulsion device for an agent, such as an extinguishing or cooling agent, contained in a cavity has at least a cap and a port configured to open above a calibrated pressure inside the cavity. A pressure generator is fastened to the cap and triggers the propulsion of the agent. The pressure generator has at least two containers, each having an exit ending inside the cavity and releasing a propulsion gas. At least one container is pressurized with an inert-type gas, such as helium, suited for minimal temperature fluctuations induced inside the cavity during a relief of pressure of the gas from at least one of the containers. When the gas expands it is the direct mechanical propellant of the agent.
