  • Patent number: 8997887
    Abstract: A power tool performs a predetermined operation by using a tool bit and has a grip part and a dust suction device. The dust suction device has a dust suction part that extends in an axial direction of the tool bit and sucks and collects dust generated during operation at a tip of the tool bit. The dust suction part can be moved between a first position in which the dust suction part covers a bit tip of the tool bit and a second position in which the bit tip is exposed. The dust suction device further has an operation mode switching mechanism that is capable of switching between a first operation mode in which the dust suction part is allowed to move between the first and second positions and a second operation mode in which the dust suction part is locked in the second position.

  • Publication number: 20130098650
    Abstract: A percussion tool has a cooling air channel for guiding a cooling air flow from a cooling air fan to an outside wall of a cylinder of an internal combustion engine. The cooling air channel is tapered to the extent that partial cooling air flows guided between the respective cooling fins are branched off the main cooling air flow. In such a way, the flow rate of the cooling air flow in the cooling air channel remains substantially constant, resulting in optimized engine cooling. The cooling air channel may be divided into two cooling air channels downstream of the cylinder. One of the cooling air channels guides cooling air to an exhaust gas system of the internal combustion engine, while the other cooling air channel guides cooling air to an outside wall of the guide housing of a hammer mechanism.

  • Patent number: 7926690
    Abstract: A device for driving various objects using combustible fuel. Embodiments are contemplated in which the driver could be a post-driver, a power shovel, a jack-hammer or other devices. Typically, the device includes a body with a combustion chamber. A fuel injection valve selectively supplies fuel to the combustion chamber where it can be ignited using an ignition module. A piston is movable within the body to impact the ram responsive to combustion in the combustion chamber.

  • Publication number: 20090071672
    Abstract: The invention relates to a diesel pile hammer (10) which comprises a cylinder (12), a piston (14) slidably mounted inside the cylinder (12), and an impact piece (16) slidably mounted inside the cylinder (12), said impact piece being arranged below the piston (14) in the operating position of the diesel pile hammer (10). A working compartment (32) is axially delimited by a face (36) of the impact piece (16) lying inside the cylinder (12) and a face (46) of the piston (14). A fuel supply device (52, 55, 62, 68) feeds a defined amount of fuel, especially diesel oil, to said working compartment with every working cycle. The fuel supply device (52, 55, 62, 68) is configured to inject the fuel into the working compartment (32) of the cylinder (12) optionally in a first mode of injection as an atomized fuel spray (76) or in a second mode of injection as a fuel jet (74) or in a third mode of injection both as an atomized fuel spray (76) and as a fuel jet (74).

  • Patent number: 6938704
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic percussive tool for a paving breaker and/or a hammer drill comprising a drive piston which is displaceable both backwards and forwards by a crankshaft and arranged in a percussion piston which is displaceable both backwards and forwards. A hollow chamber is connected to a compensating chamber by an idling air channel and embodied between the drive piston and the percussion piston in order to receive a pneumatic spring. A valve is arranged in the idling air channel, the opening and closing position thereof depending on the rotational speed of the crankshaft. If the rotational speed of the crankshaft falls below a predetermined value, the valve opens the connection between the hollow chamber and the compensating chamber so that a pneumatic spring can no longer be to embodied in the hollow chamber and the pneumatic percussion tool is placed in a idling position.

  • Patent number: 6474300
    Abstract: A device for controlling the speed of an internal combustion engine in a working tool including a device for recognizing a special operating state of the working tool. By way of example, a special operating state can be taken to mean the start-up of the internal combustion engine or a danger that can occur when the user lets go of said working tool or the tool tips over. An adjustment device adjusts the engine speed of the internal combustion engine to a safety speed that is below the operating speed of the internal combustion engine when the special operating state is recognized.
