Also disclosed is a tool having such a drive system and a work apparatus, which may be concrete vibrator.

Wearable drive system for a work apparatus

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.

Percussion tool having cooling of equipment components

The invention relates to a percussion tool having an internal combustion engine and a hammer mechanism that can be driven by the internal combustion engine by means of a transmission. A part of the engine housing, the transmission housing, or the impact hammer mechanism housing is enclosed by a cover. The cover is spaced at a distance from the remainder of the machine, so that a gap is present between the cover and the remainder of the machine. Cooling air can flow into the gap at the lower face of the cover and flow back out via a flue and an opening. The components beneath the cover are thereby effectively cooled, even without an additional cooling air blower.

Drill hammer and/or impact hammer having free convection cooling

A percussive mechanism, which is provided in the form of an, e.g. pneumatic spring percussive mechanism, comprises an electrodynamic linear drive, a drive piston, which can be reciprocally moved inside a percussive mechanism housing by the linear drive, and a percussive piston. An additional hollow space is provided in front of and/or behind the drive piston and can be isolated at least in part from the surrounding area so that a pneumatic spring can be created in the additional hollow space. The pneumatic spring slows the drive piston at its returning points and facilitates a returning motion without loading the electrodynamic linear drive.

Percussive mechanism with an electrodynamic linear drive

A percussion mechanism that has a motor, a drive piston which can be moved to and fro in a guide cylinder by the motor, and a percussion piston. A coupling device is active between the drive piston and the percussion piston, via which coupling device the movement of the drive piston is transmitted to the percussion piston. The motor can be configured as a reluctance motor or as a synchronous motor. The motor can be actuable in such a way that different rotational speeds of the rotor can be generated within a percussion cycle and/or from percussion cycle to percussion cycle.

Pneumatic-spring percussion mechanism with a variable rotary drive

A drilling and/or percussive hammer comprises a handle and a hammer housing, which can move relative to the handle and inside of which, among other things, a pneumatic spring percussive mechanism is housed. The pneumatic spring of the pneumatic spring percussive mechanism can be ventilated via a no-load operation duct that is opened and closed by a valve. The valve can be opened and closed according to a pressing force acting upon the handle. A delay device controls the valve during closing so that the valve reaches the position corresponding to the detected pressing force only with a time delay. This causes a smooth transition from the no-load operation to the percussive operation.

Drilling and/or percussive hammer with no-load operation control

Disclosed is a drilling and/or striking hammer that includes a lubricating device having a lubricant reservoir and a volume of lubricant contained therein. The lubricating device conveys lubricant to at least one a transmission system within the hammer's housing, a percussion system, and/or a tool holder at a variable dosing or flow rate. The dosing or flow rate varies as a function of tool stress which can include use intensity and/or temperature. A flexible tube extends between the reservoir and the lubricated component(s). At lease part of the flexible tube vibrates with the lubricated components during use and modifies a viscosity of the lubricant therein, based on tool use intensity. A pressure generating device can pressurize the lubricant, helping convey the lubricant to a targeted area for lubricating movable parts.

Drilling and/or striking hammer with a lubricating device

An air spring hammer device that includes a drive piston, moving axially back and forth, with a front face of hollow embodiment and a hammer piston moving in said hollow. A ventilation slot is embodied in a guide wall of the drive piston. The drive piston may be guided in a guide tube. The guide tube comprises several idle openings. A moving control element is arranged on the exterior of the guide tube, in which control openings, corresponding to the idle openings, are provided. In an idle operating mode, the control element is in an open position, via which the ventilation slot, the idle openings and the control openings can be brought into connection with the environment.

Hollow piston hammer device with air equilibration and idle openings

A device for a drilling hammer and/or percussive hammer has a tool holding fixture for holding a tool and for transmitting a torque to the tool. A component of the tool holding fixture consists of a hollow cylindrical tool holder, which has an insertion opening for an insertion end of the tool, and has an impact opening, via which a percussive action can be applied to the insertion end. A stopping surface, which is stationary with regard to the tool holder and which acts in an axial direction of the tool holder, is provided in the tool holder in the area of the impact opening. The tool holding fixture is particularly suited for insertion ends according to the SDS-max standard.

Drilling hammer and/or percussive hammer having a tool-holding fixture

The invention relates to a hand-held working tool, having a first unit, powered by a vibration on operation and a second unit which may be displaced relative to the first unit. A vibration isolation device is arranged between the first and second unit, having an actuator, for generation of a control force. An operational force acting in the working direction (A) between the first and the second unit may be at least partly compensated by the control force. The actuator is pneumatically operated and comprises an air spring for vibration isolation. A working piston in an air spring percussion device on the working tool serves to supply compressed air for the air spring. Alternatively, the compressed air can be supplied by the oscillating relative movement between the first unit and the second unit.

Working tool with damped handle

The invention relates to a pneumatic spring percussion mechanism comprising a driving piston moving back and forth in a housing of the percussion mechanism and a percussion piston, wherein a pneumatic spring is configured between the driving piston and the percussion piston. The movement of the driving piston can be transmitted to a percussion piston by means of said pneumatic spring. The driving piston can be driven by an electric linear motor and is connected to an aromatic of the linear motor, forming a single piece therewith. This arrangement makes it possible to eliminate the use of a conventional rotary motor and a crank mechanism to drive the driving piston.

Pneumatic spring percussion mechanism with an electro-dynamically actuated driving piston

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.

Pneumatic percussive tool with a movement frequency controlled idling position

The invention relates to a demolition hammer and/or hammer drill comprising a percussion generating device having a percussion piston moving axially back and forth. In a main percussion mode, the percussion piston impinges upon a tool which can move along a limited axial path straight into a main percussion direction. In a free percussion mode, the percussion piston indirectly impinges upon a percussion changing device, and by means thereof upon the tool, in a free percussion direction opposite to the main percussion direction. The impact surface of a tool shaft and the impact surface of a free percussion ram are placed opposite an impact surface of the percussion piston in such a way that the free percussion ram is removed from the effective area of the percussion piston by a return spring in the main percussion position. Under the effect of the return spring, the percussion ram is simultaneously supported on a gear member of the percussion changing device, which projects with an extension into the motion path of a stop surface provided in the tool. The stop surface reaches the extension when it has moved away from the effective area of the percussion piston in an idle running state of the tool shaft. If the movement of the tool is continued, the stop surface impinges upon the gear member against the effect of the return spring and relocates the free percussion ram in the effective area of the percussion piston by overcoming the spring force.

Demolition hammer and/or hammer-drill with a percussion device suitable for releasing clamped objects by striking

A percussion hammer drill and/or percussion hammer that can be guided by a handgrip comprises a pneumatic spring striking mechanism with a reciprocating drive piston and with a percussion piston that can be operated by the drive piston. A cavity for accommodating a pneumatic spring is provided between the drive piston and the percussion piston. The cavity can be connected to the surrounding area via a no-load operation channel in order to achieve a no-load operation. This this end, a valve is situated inside the no-load operation channel and can be controlled according to an application force that can be applied to the handgrip by the operator.

Hammer drill and /or percussion hammer with no-load operation control that depends on application pressure

The invention relates to a handheld hammer drill and/or paving breaker which is at least of average weight and power class and which comprises an electric motor, a striking tool which can be actuated by the electric motor and a housing wherein the electric motor and the striking tool are received. A handle is embodied in such a way on the housing that a holding position is arranged in a projection of the striking axis of the striking tool. A rotating axis of a motor shaft of an electric motor is parallel to the axis of the striking axis, the total length of the hammer drill and/or striking hammer being small in the longitudinal direction.
