Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 24
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
In a machine tool, particularly for a hand tool machine, including a housing, drive means with a rotary spindle, and tool-receiving means, a control device comprising control means including a motor regulator and a hand switch bridged to said regulator and adapted to adjust the drive means to a predetermined rotation speed; a control element on said tool-receiving means, said control element being an elongated sleeve provided with outwardly radially extending flanges having a control face and arranged to be adjusted in an axial direction; and transmitting means operatively interconnected between said control element and said control means and operative for transmitting forces exerted on said tool-receiving means during operation to said control means, said transmitting means including a longitudinal pin slidably positioned within the housing and having a first end portion arranged to engage said control face so that the position of said pin defines the adjustment of said drive means to a predetermined rotation speed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
157 words
In a machine tool, particularly for a hand tool machine, including a housing, drive means with a rotary spindle, and tool-receiving means, a control device comprising control means including a motor regulator and a hand switch bridged to said regulator and adapted to adjust the drive means to a predetermined rotation speed; a control element on said tool-receiving means, said control element being an elongated sleeve provided with outwardly radially extending flanges having a control face and arranged to be adjusted in an axial direction; and transmitting means operatively interconnected between said control element and said control means and operative for transmitting forces exerted on said tool-receiving means during operation to said control means, said transmitting means including a longitudinal pin slidably positioned within the housing and having a first end portion arranged to engage said control face so that the position of said pin defines the adjustment of said drive means to a predetermined rotation speed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The tool of claim 1, further including means for coupling said tool-receiving means with said spindle and uncoupling said tool-receiving means from said spindle when said control means adjust said drive means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The tool of claim 1, wherein said longitudinal pin has a second end portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
The tool of claim 3, further including a connecting plate interconnected between said motor regulator and said second end portion of said pin, said connecting plate being operative for regulating an electric current in said motor regulator when the tool is completely released from working pressures.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
The tool of claim 4, wherein said tool-receiving means include an inner sleeve having a first end portion, a shaped intermediate portion and a second end portion, and said spindle includes a longitudinal recess adapted to receive said first end portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
52 words
The tool of claim 5, wherein said control element is mounted on said second end portion of said inner sleeve, said second end portion of said sleeve having a recess for accommodating a tool to be used, the diameter of said recess corresponding to a diameter of a tool to be used.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
The tool of claim 6, further including a locking plate mounted on said housing, said plate being selectively positioned in a locking position on said housing or in a releasing position thereon.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
31 words
The tool of claim 7, further comprising a compression spring located in said longitudinal recess and adapted to bias said first end portion in the direction of removal of the tool.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
42 words
The tool of claim 8, further comprising a mounting element rigidly connected to said spindle and having a bore with an inner surface of a shape corresponding to said shaped intermediate portion and adapted to receive the same for axial movement therethrough.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
39 words
The tool of claim 9, wherein said elongated sleeve is extended in an axial direction from a tool to be used to that said sleeve overlaps an uncovered portion of said spindle to thereby prevent the same from pollution.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
15 words
The tool of claim 10, wherein said mounting element is threadably connected to said spindle.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
24 words
The tool of claim 11, wherein said control means is arranged to control said drive means independently from the position of said elongated pin.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
29 words
The tool of claim 12, wherein said control means is arranged to adjust said drive means within the range of working loads from zero to the maximal working loads.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
106 words
The tool of claim 13, wherein said second portion of said inner sleeve has an outer thread and said elongated sleeve has an inner thread so that said elongated sleeve is threadably positioned on said second portion, said outer thread being relatively longer than said inner thread so that the position of said longitudinal sleeve may be adjusted in the axial direction and the optimum controlling position for the operating process may be defined by means of said threads when said control face engages said first end portion of said longitudinal pin through working pressures acting in the axial direction before the tool-arresting position is reached.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
19 words
The tool of claim 14, wherein said elongated pin extends parallel to the axis of rotation of said spindle.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
63 words
The tool of claim 15, further including a pin rigidly connected to said connecting plate and outwardly extended therefrom, and a spring mounted in said housing and adapted to bias said connecting plate in an axial direction toward said longitudinal pin so that the latter is urged out of said housing when said control means are set up to a zero loads position.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
17 words
The tool of claim 16, wherein said elongated sleeve overlaps said locking plate in the axial direction.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
40 words
The tool of claim 17, wherein said locking plate is pivotally supported on said housing to be moved between said locking and releasing positions to provide an access for adjusting the position of said longitudinal sleeve in the axial direction.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
16 words
The tool of claim 18, further including a handle mounted on said housing having a collar.
Claim 21
Dependent Claim
15 words
The tool of claim 19, wherein said handle is a gripping member encompassing said collar.
Claim 22
Dependent Claim
32 words
The tool of claim 20, wherein an axle is provided which is mounted on said housing, said locking plate being arranged to pivot about said axle between said locking and releasing positions.
Claim 23
Dependent Claim
23 words
The tool of claim 21, wherein a spring is provided mounted on said axle to bias said locking plate in said locking position.
Claim 24
Dependent Claim
21 words
The tool of claim 22, further comprising a locking washer mounted on said axle to lock said spring on said axle.
