Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hand-held power tool, in particular a hammer drill or combination hammer, having a tool fitting for holding a striking and rotating tool on a working axis, an electric motor coupled to a transmission shaft, an impact mechanism, which has a striker that is moved periodically along the working axis, and having a rotary drive, which drives a guide tube carrying the tool fitting in rotation about the working axis, wherein the rotary drive is coupled to the transmission shaft via a rocker lever.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A hand-held power tool comprising: a tool fitting for holding a striking and rotating tool on a working axis; an electric motor coupled to a transmission shaft; an impact mechanism having a striker movable periodically along the working axis; and a rotary drive drives a guide tube carrying the tool fitting in rotation about the working axis, the rotary drive being coupled to the transmission shaft via a rocker lever; wherein the impact mechanism has a transmission component for converting the rotary movement of the transmission shaft into a periodic movement in translation parallel to the working axis; wherein the impact mechanism has an exciter piston connected to the transmission component, and a pneumatic chamber, wherein the striker is coupled to the exciter piston via the pneumatic chamber; and wherein the rotary drive and the impact mechanism are coupled to the transmission shaft such that an advancing movement of the exciter piston takes place in a phase-shifted manner with respect to a torque transmission via a swivel sleeve. 2. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the rocker lever is coupled to the transmission shaft via an eccentric bearing. 3. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the rotary drive has a swivel sleeve arranged coaxially with the guide tube, the guide tube rotatable about the working axis via the swivel sleeve, the swivel sleeve having a peg mounted in a joint bearing of the rocker lever. 4. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 3 wherein the rotary drive has a freewheel sleeve arranged coaxially with the guide tube and allowing a torque to be transmitted from the swivel sleeve to the guide tube only in a direction opposite a freewheeling direction. 5. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 3 wherein an axis of rotation of the rocker lever extends parallel to the transmission shaft. 6. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 3 wherein an axis of rotation of the rocker lever lies between an eccentric bearing and the joint bearing. 7. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the transmission component has an impact-mechanism eccentric wheel or a wobble plate. 8. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 2 wherein the eccentric bearing is assigned a rotary-drive eccentric wheel. 9. The hand-held power tool as recited in claim 8 wherein the rotary-drive eccentric wheel is formed integrally with the transmission shaft.
