Abstract

A hand-held power tool includes a percussion mechanism ( 3 ) arranged in the tool housing ( 2 ), and a motor ( 4 ) for driving the percussion mechanism and connected therewith by a gear unit ( 5 ), with the percussion mechanism including an eccentric ( 6 ) a piston ( 7 ), and a connection rod ( 21; 41 ) connecting the eccentric with the driving piston ( 7 ) and having a first part ( 22; 42 ) connectable with the eccentric ( 6 ), a second part ( 23; 43 ) connectable with the drive piston ( 7 ) and telescopically displaceable relative to the first part ( 22; 42 ), and a spring for damping vibrations occurring during operation of the power tool and arranged between the first ( 22; 42 ) and second ( 23; 43 ) parts.

Claims (10)

1. A hand-held power tool comprising a housing ( 2 ); a percussion mechanism ( 3 ) arranged in the housing ( 2 ); a motor ( 4 ); and a gear unit ( 5 ) for drivingly connecting the motor ( 4 ) with the percussion mechanism ( 3 ),

wherein the percussion mechanism ( 3 ) includes an eccentric ( 6 ), a piston ( 7 ), and a connection rod ( 21 ; 412 ) for connecting the eccentric with the piston ( 7 ), the connection rod ( 21 ; 41 ) having a first part ( 22 ; 42 ) connectable with the eccentric ( 6 ), a second part ( 23 ; 43 ) connectable with the piston ( 7 ) and telescopically displaceable relative to the first part ( 22 ; 42 ), and a spring for damping vibrations occurring during operation of the power tool and arranged between the first ( 22 ; 42 ) and second ( 23 ; 43 ) parts,

wherein one of the first ( 22 , 42 ) and second ( 23 ; 43 ) parts of the connection rod ( 21 ) has at least one guide groove ( 3 ), and another of the first ( 22 ; 42 ) and second ( 23 ; 43 ) parts of the connection rod ( 21 ) has at least one projection cooperating with the guide groove ( 33 ) for preventing disengagement of the first ( 22 ; 42 ) and second ( 23 ; 43 ) parts from each other.

2. A hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the piston ( 7 ) is formed as a driving piston pneumatically connectable with a percussion piston ( 8 ) of the percussion mechanism ( 3 ).

3. A hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the spring is formed as a helical spring ( 24 ).

4. A hand-held power tool according to claim 3 , wherein the first part ( 22 ) of the connection rod ( 21 ) forms a first support ( 29 ) and the second part ( 23 ) of the connection rod ( 21 ) forms a second support ( 30 ) for the helical spring ( 24 ).

5. A percussion mechanism ( 3 ) for a percussion hand-held power tool, comprising an eccentric ( 6 ); a driving piston ( 7 ); and a connection road ( 21 ; 41 ) for connecting the eccentric with the driving piston ( 7 ), the connection rod ( 21 ; 41 ) having a first part ( 22 ; 42 ) connectable with the eccentric ( 6 ), a second part ( 23 ; 43 ) connectable with the driving piston ( 7 ), coaxial with the first part ( 22 ; 42 ) and telescopically displaceable relative to the first part ( 22 ; 42 ); and a spring for damping vibrations occurring during operation of the power tool and arranged between the first ( 22 ; 42 ) and second ( 23 ; 43 ) parts coaxially therewith,

wherein one of the first ( 22 , 42 ) and second ( 23 ; 43 ) parts of the connection rod ( 21 ) has at least one guide groove ( 3 ), and another of the first ( 22 ; 42 ) and second ( 23 ; 43 ) parts of the connection rod ( 21 ) has at least one projection cooperating with the guide groove ( 33 ) for preventing disengagement of the first ( 22 ; 42 ) and second ( 23 ; 43 ) parts from each other.

6. A connection rod for a percussion mechanism which is used in hand-held power tools and which includes an eccentric ( 6 ) and a driving piston ( 7 ), the connection rod comprising a first part ( 22 ; 42 ) connectable with the eccentric ( 6 ); a second part ( 23 ; 43 ) connectable with the4 driving piston ( 7 ), coaxial with the first part ( 22 ; 42 ) and telescopically displaceable relative to the first part ( 22 ; 42 ); and a spring for damping vibrations occurring during operation of the power tool and arranged between the first ( 22 ; 42 ) and second ( 23 ; 43 ) parts coaxially therewith,

wherein one of the first ( 22 , 42 ) and second ( 23 ; 43 ) parts of the connection rod ( 21 ) has at least one guide groove ( 3 ), and another of the first ( 22 ; 42 ) and second ( 23 ; 43 ) parts of the connection rod ( 21 ) has at least one projection cooperating with the guide groove ( 33 ) for preventing disengagement of the first ( 22 ; 42 ) and second ( 23 ; 43 ) parts from each other.
