Abstract
A hand-held device, such as a hammer drill, has a replaceable axially extending holder for a working tool. The device includes a sensor and a signal transmitter for adjusting its operating characteristics. The holder has through openings containing locking elements and control elements. The locking elements and control elements are radially displaceable within the through openings by a locking sleeve. The position of the locking sleeve in the axial direction of and relative to the holder determines the cooperation of the sensor and the signal transmitters.
Claims10
Hand-held device comprising an axially elongated driven spindle having a leading end and a trailing end, means for securing a working tool on said spindle, said means for securing a working tool comprises an axially extending tubular shaped holder for receiving a working tool with said holder having a leading end and a trailing end with the trailing end thereof connected to the leading end of said spindle, means for releasably connecting said holder to said spindle, at least one first through opening in said holder spaced axially from said releasable connecting means toward the leading end of said holder, a locking element located within said first through opening, means mounted on and displaceable relative to said holder for radially inwardly displacing said locking elements into engagement with a corresponding recess in a working tool inserted into said holder, at least one second through opening in said holder spaced from said first through opening, a control element located within said second through opening and being displaceable between a radially inner position and a radially outer position, said radially inwardly displacing means also arranged for radially inwardly displacing said control element into the radially inner position into a corresponding recess in a working tool inserted into said holder, whereby the radially inner and outer positions of said control member control the displacement of said radially inwardly displacing means relative to said holder.
