Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand-held device, in particular for driving in screws, with a housing and a depth stop that can be adjusted relative to it, the depth stop being connected to the housing via an adjusting thread and for adjusting an actuating sleeve which is connected to the depth stop and is axially displaceable for this purpose can be fixed in a rotationally locking manner on the housing.
  • Such a depth stop generally consists of a sleeve which comprises an insert which engages the screw to be driven. It is known to match the insert and the depth stop so that the driving-in process is completed when the depth stop stands up on the receiving base in which the screw is to be screwed in. This is achieved in that the coupling elements on the device side interrupt the introduction of torque to the insert as soon as the depth stop stands up sufficiently at the base of the mounting, which means that the position of the depth stop ultimately has a direct influence on the driving depth of the screw.
  • Adjustable depth stops are known, depending on the application and the screw used, the driving depth has to be adjusted to the respective conditions. Since the insert delivering the torque to the screw to be driven is a part that is fixed in its position on the device side, it is common to adjust the depth stop relative to this insert, ie also relative to the device.
  • Such an adjustable depth stop is known for example from the German patent 22 20 792.
  • This known depth stop consists of a sleeve which is connected to the housing via an adjusting thread. For the axial adjustment of the depth stop, it can therefore only be rotated, which takes place via an actuating sleeve which is connected to it in a rotationally locking manner and can be displaced axially thereto.
  • the actuating sleeve can be fixed in a rotationally locking manner on the housing.
  • a spring is provided which drives the actuating sleeve against the end face of the housing, so that cams and recesses provided for this purpose work together.
  • grooves are provided on the outside for the rotationally locking connection between the actuating sleeve and the depth stop, which allows axial displacement, which grooves must have a certain dimensional accuracy to ensure a sufficiently precise adjustment.
  • these parts since these parts in particular are exposed to extremely high levels of contamination, the functionality is also questioned from this point of view.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a handheld device of the type in question, which has both a failure-prone and easy-to-use depth stop, which is secured against unintentional adjustment despite possible fine adjustment.
  • latching elements for securing the actuating sleeve are provided on the housing and on the actuating sleeve both in the rotationally fixed position relative to the housing and in the position axially displaced relative to the housing.
  • the depth stop is rotated relative to the housing by means of the actuating sleeve.
  • the actuating sleeve is axially displaceable relative to the depth stop, wherein it is designed, as in the known solution, in such a way that when the housing is displaced, it moves together with the Depth stop a rotation is possible and a rotational locking is achieved when moving towards the housing.
  • the latching elements proposed according to the invention enable the actuating sleeve to be securely fixed on the one hand in the position permitting rotation and on the other hand in the position fixed to the housing in a rotationally locking manner. After the latching elements can only be overcome with a certain amount of effort by the operator, it is ensured on the one hand that the fixing on the housing is not inadvertently released and the depth stop is thereby adjusted. On the other hand, it is also ensured that after the actuating sleeve has been axially displaced away from the housing, the adjustment of the depth stop can only be carried out unhindered simply by twisting.
  • locking elements such as spring-loaded balls, resilient fingers or the like.
  • a spring ring and a cooperating shoulder as locking elements, where it is advisable to hold the spring ring on an extension on the housing side and the actuating sleeve on the inside with a corresponding, radially complete or only partially circumferential shoulder.
  • a securing bolt is provided on the actuating sleeve, which can take over both of the functions required by the actuating sleeve. These two functions consist, on the one hand, of ensuring the rotationally fixed attachment to the housing and, on the other hand, of creating the rotationally locked connection, which allows axial displacement, with the depth stop.
  • Such a securing bolt can be fastened inside the actuating sleeve. This makes him against mecha Damage and pollution are fully protected and can fully perform the functions mentioned.
  • the securing bolt is preferably fastened in the interior of the actuating sleeve to a projection in such a way that the two ends remain free.
  • An actuating sleeve which is preferably made of plastic, can be, for example, a metal pin which is firmly injected into a cam in the interior of the actuating sleeve.
  • the one advantageously the free end facing the housing, can serve for the rotationally fixed fixing of the actuating sleeve with the housing.
  • recesses in the form of slots, holes or the like can be provided on the housing, into which the securing bolt can be inserted. Thanks to the interaction of the safety bolt with the recesses on the housing, dimensioning and arrangement is possible, which allows sufficient fine adjustment of the depth stop.
  • the recesses can be provided directly on the housing, or a separate element in the form of a locking ring with the recesses arranged thereon can be fastened to the housing or to a related extension in the sense of simple manufacture.
  • the other, opposite, free end of the securing bolt can serve for the rotationally locking connection, but allowing axial displacement, with the depth stop.
  • this free end of the securing bolt engages in a bore provided on the depth stop in every position of the actuating sleeve. A sufficient depth of this hole can be used to make full use of the full adjustment path from the depth stop.
  • a turnstile which interrupts the rotation of the depth stop together with the actuating sleeve is provided.
  • Such a turnstile expediently consists of a housing-side extension, which cooperates with a cam on the depth stop as soon as the depth stop is adjusted accordingly far to the housing.
  • the depth stop in two parts, ie it is divided into a simple stop sleeve and a threaded bushing which, in addition to the adjusting thread, has the aforementioned fits.
  • a bayonet lock known per se has proven particularly useful for connecting these two parts, since from the point of view of the accuracy of fit and moreover when actuated it brings significant advantages in terms of time and effort.
  • both the stop sleeve and the threaded bushing are made of plastic, there are significant manufacturing advantages.
  • FIG. 1 shows a view and overall representation of a hand-held device with housing 1 that serves to drive in screws.
  • An actuating switch 2 and a supply cable 3 are arranged on the handle 1 on the handle side, while a depth stop, denoted overall by 4, is connected to the front of the housing 1 and is surrounded by an actuating sleeve, denoted overall by 5.
  • the depth stop 4 is connected to an extension la of the housing 1 via an adjusting thread 6.
  • the actuating sleeve 5 is connected to the depth stop 4 in a rotationally locking but axially displaceable manner.
  • a securing bolt designated overall by 7, which is rigidly fastened in the actuating sleeve 5 by means of a projection 5a.
  • one end 7a of the securing bolt 7 engages in a bore 4c of the depth stop 4, this bore 4c being dimensioned such that the securing bolt 7 can move freely therein.
  • a locking ring On the extension la of the housing 1, a locking ring, designated overall by 8, is also rigidly attached.
  • This locking ring 8 which is shown in FIG. 4 for itself, has recesses 8a on the circumference, it being possible for twelve recesses 8a, for example, to be distributed over the circumference of the locking ring 8 for a sufficient fine adjustment of the depth stop 4.
  • These recesses 8a are dimensioned such that the second free end 7b of the securing bolt 7 can protrude, so that overall the actuating sleeve 5 can be fixed to the housing 1 in a rotationally locking manner.
  • the arrangement of the recesses 8a on the locking ring 8 creates an economical solution compared to recesses, which can alternatively also be arranged directly in the extension la of the housing 1.
  • a spring ring 9 is provided on the extension la of the housing 1. This spring ring 9 interacts with a shoulder 5b arranged on the inside on the actuating sleeve 5.
  • an insert 10 which can also be seen in the figures and which is designed, for example, to accommodate Phillips screws.
  • This insert 10 is fastened to a shaft 11 which has claws which are also known per se clutch 12 can be connected to the drive unit of the device while overcoming the force of a spring (not shown).
  • a torque is transmitted to the insert 10 as long as the depth stop 4 does not yet stand up on the receiving base into which the screw is to be driven.
  • the insert 10 can move relative to the depth stop 4 in such a way that, thanks to the coupling 12, the connection to the drive unit is interrupted and thus the introduction of torque to the insert 10 is ended.
  • the depth stop 4 is formed in two parts and consists of a stop sleeve 4a and a threaded bush 4b.
  • a bayonet catch 4d known per se, is used to connect these parts, which is indicated in the drawings.
  • the depth stop 4 is adjusted in that the actuating sleeve 5 is brought into the position which can be freely rotated relative to the housing and which can be seen in FIG. 3. In this position of the actuating sleeve 5, the depth stop 4 is also rotated by rotating the latter due to the securing bolt 7. Thanks to the adjusting thread 6, the depth stop experiences a relative displacement both with respect to the housing 1 and with respect to the actuating sleeve 5.
  • the actuating sleeve 5 When the desired position of the depth stop 4 has been reached, the actuating sleeve 5 is pulled against the housing 1, as a result of which the end 7b of the securing bolt 7 passes into a recess 8a of the locking ring 8, which leads to a rotationally locking fixing of both the actuating sleeve 5 and the depth stop 4 relative to the housing 1.
  • This position of the actuating sleeve 5 can be seen from FIG. 2, which also clearly shows that the shoulder 5b of the actuating sleeve 5 has now jumped over the spring ring 9, so that the actuating sleeve 5 is axially secured in its position.
  • a turnstile which consists of a cam 4e arranged on the depth stop 4, which, when the depth stop 4 is correspondingly far away from Has moved housing 1 out, strikes an extension 8b of the locking sleeve 8. Since the locking sleeve 8 is rigidly connected to the housing 1, the extension 8b is also a fixed stop on the housing side. Since the two parts, ie cam 4e and extension 8b meet purely radially, no jamming, for example caused by the pitch of the adjusting thread 6, can occur.
