  • Patent number: 5533581
    Abstract: In an electric hand tool, particularly a drill, with a housing, an electric motor which is received in the housing and has a motor shaft parallel to the housing axis, and with a work spindle which is driven by the electric motor via a transmission gearing, the housing is divided along a dividing plane for the purpose of switching from straight drilling to angular drilling and it is provided that the front housing part containing a bearing for the work spindle and the rear housing part containing the electric motor can swivel relative to one another in such a way that the work spindle projecting out of the front housing part can occupy any angle between 0.degree. and 90.degree. or more relative to the motor shaft. A catch lock which can be unlocked and/or locked manually stops the two housing parts in the selected swivel position. A torsionally rigid transmission of force from the motor shaft to the work spindle is realized in every swivel position of the housing parts in the transmission gearing.

  • Patent number: 4973807
    Abstract: An actuation device for a switch of a hand machine tool, particularly for a Totmann switch which provides for fatigue-free operation. The actuation device includes a front wall provided with a locking projection engageable in a recess formed in the wall of the switch housing. A restoring spring acts on an actuation member. Two spaced ribs with inclined surfaces are provided on the housing wall. The locking projection slides along the inclined surfaces of the spaced ribs. The locking projection may be broken away from the front wall of the actuation member whereby the end of the front wall would slide along the inclined surfaces of the ribs.

  • Patent number: 4918868
    Abstract: An eccentric grinder having a small construction in the axial direction comprises an eccentric (15), which is driven so as to rotate, and a grinding plate (16) which is rotatably supported in the eccentric (15) and which can be set in rotation around its axis of rotation in one or the other rotating direction via rotating rings (26, 27), which are rigidly connected with the grinding plate (16), and via rolling rings (30, 31), which are arranged at the grinder housing (10), in order to change its grinding action. The selection of the rotating direction is determined by means of a manual switching device (38). For this purpose, the rolling rings (30, 31) are held at the grinder housing (10) so as to be rotatable and are in continuous engagement with the rotating rings (25, 26) fastened at the grinding plate (16).

  • Patent number: 4727682
    Abstract: An eccentric grinder is provided with a device for changing a grinding motion. The grinder includes a grinding disc eccentrically positioned on a driving shaft and supporting an internal and an external toothed crowns which are brought to a rolling motion on respective external and internal toothed crowns supported on the housing of the grinder. The toothed crowns supported on the housing are axially displaceable by a handle provided externally of the housing. Three various grinding motions for coarse, medium and fine grinding can be obtained by the drive of the grinder.

  • Patent number: 4520548
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for securing an eraser to a pencil while deforming a heath mounted at one end on one end of the pencil and on the other end partially receiving the eraser, the sheath being subjected to deforming forces directed on the one hand toward the pencil and on the other toward the eraser. In order to provide a fastening of the sheath to the pencil and to the eraser, the pencil is guided along a path while at least the sheath is rolling, and the sheath is subjected to the deforming forces at least intermittently while rolling. The apparatus for performing the method comprises a pressure gap decreasing height between two parts that are movable relative to one another. The pressure gap is larger at the inlet and smaller toward the outlet than the outer diameter of the sheath in its underformed state.

  • Patent number: 4509245
    Abstract: In a method intended particularly for securing an eraser and/or a sheath eiving it on a pencil in one continuous operation, it is provided that the pencils are conveyed through a work station and during that time, several sheaths or erasers and associated tools are simultaneously moved along with the pencils at the same speed as the pencils during a first work phase and are attached to the pencils during this time via the tools; in a second work phase, after the attachment process is completed, the tools are returned rapidly to the outset point, counter to the conveyance direction. The invention is furthermore directed to an apparatus for performing this method, which assures a very high operating speed. This apparatus includes at least one feeder device connected with a supply magazine for supplying one eraser or sheath to each of n feeder recesses having closed rear sides and being disposed beside one another in the feeder device.
