An example of the invention includes a suction unit as the first auxiliary unit for collecting debris from a hand-held drilling tool. The system also provides for at least one additional auxiliary unit to be coupled to the held-held power tool by the coupling mechanism. An example of the invention includes an illuminating element as an additional auxiliary unit which can be coupled to the tool with the coupling mechanism so as to be interchangeable with the first auxiliary unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2007Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Otto Baumann, Thomas Bernhardt, Hardy Schmid

Patent number: 8418779Abstract: A rotary power tool having a tool housing, an internal housing within the tool housing, and a switch assembly that is substantially within the tool housing. According to the invention, the switch assembly is supported by the internal housing and is movable between at least two positions for selecting between at least two tool operational modes. The internal housing is embodied by at least one blocking element that extends towards the tool housing and limits the overall range of motion of the switch assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2010Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Chi Hoe Leong, Siew Yuen Lee, Chun Chee Loh

Patent number: 8418778Abstract: An improved method is provided for operating a power tool. The method includes: monitoring rotational motion of the power tool about an axis using a rotational motion sensor disposed in the power tool; determining a direction of the rotational motion about the axis; and driving the output member in a direction defined by the detected rotational motion of the tool, where the output member is driven by a motor residing in the power tool. Thus, the output member is drive clockwise when the rotational motion of the tool is clockwise about the axis and the output member is drive counter-clockwise when the rotational motion of the tool is counter-clockwise about the axis.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2012Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Scott Eshleman, Craig Schell, Andrew E. Seman, Daniel Puzio, Daniele C. Brotto, Joseph P. Kelleher, Christopher W. Shook, Steven J. Phillips, Dale W. Boswall, James B. Watson, Fugen Qin
