  • Publication number: 20210394329
    Abstract: A power tool, in particular an angle grinder, having a drive motor accommodated in a housing which drives a rotor shaft, a tool spindle comprising a tool holder which is preferentially connected to the rotor shaft in a power-transmitting manner by a gearing, as well as a control switch for activating the drive motor, wherein the control switch comprises a first switching element which is pivotably mounted on the housing about a pivot axis between a first switch position for switching on the drive motor and a second switch position for switching off the drive motor, and a second switching element which is rotatable about a rotational axis between a locked position which blocks the first switching element from moving into the first switch position and a release position which enables the first switching element to move into the first switch position.

  • Patent number: 11167388
    Abstract: A gearhead for a handheld power tool for machining workpieces, having a housing in which an output that can be connected to a drive of a handheld power tool is accommodated, and also having a tool shaft to which a tool can be coupled, wherein a braking device that can be moved between a braking position and a release position and that acts upon the tool shaft is provided for braking of the tool shaft. A switching device is provided that can be moved between a first switching position, in which the tool shaft is connected to the output in a power transmitting manner and in which the braking device is transferred into the release position, and a second switching position, in which the tool shaft is decoupled from the output and in which the braking device is transferred into the braking position.

  • Publication number: 20210031327
    Abstract: A gear head for a hand-held power tool for machining workpieces, in particular for an angle grinder. The gear head including a gear plate, a housing closable by the gear plate, in which a power take-off is accommodated, which is connectable to a drive of the hand-held power tool, the power take-off including a tool shaft protruding from the gear plate, which is at least partially surrounded by a safety guard fastenable to a gear flange of the housing. A securing lever locks the safety guard on the gear flange, the securing lever being adjustable around a pivot axis between a first position, in which the safety guard is rotatably fixedly connected to the gear flange and a second position, in which the safety guard is rotatable with respect to the gear flange against a force of a restoring element acting in a direction of the first position.

  • Patent number: 10840772
    Abstract: A hand held machine tool for machining workpieces, comprising a housing in which a motor driving a rotor shaft is accommodated, and having an air guide region formed in the housing for supplying cooling air to the motor along a main flow direction oriented substantially parallel to the motor longitudinal axis. The air guidance region is limited at one end by at least one air inlet and at the other end by at least one air outlet for discharging the cooling air from the housing. A separator is arranged in the air guide region for dividing the cooling air into an outer partial air flow flowing around the outer circumference of the motor and into an inner partial air flow flowing through the motor. The separator is formed such that a degree of contamination of the outer partial air flow is greater than a degree of contamination of the inner partial air flow.

  • Patent number: 9660288
    Abstract: A battery subunit includes multiple battery modules that are connected to one another in a parallel and/or series manner, and a thermal management system that contacts each of the multiple battery modules. Each of the multiple battery modules has respective multiple battery cells. The thermal management system is configured to dissipate heat that occurs during operation of the multiple battery modules. The battery subunit further includes a carrier unit that comprises at least one carrier plate positioned on a side of the thermal management system that is remote from the battery modules. The thermal management system is configured to at least partially receive, and on at least two opposite lying edges comprises, in each case, one or multiple grooves configured to collect and/or drain off at least one of fluids that are situated in the at least one carrier plate, and condensation water and/or leakage from the thermal management system.
