Definitions
- the invention relates to a turning tool.
- Ratchet or ratchet are designations for a screwing tool that does not have to be started again and again if there is not enough space to complete a complete turn with a wrench attached. Instead, to incrementally tighten or loosen a bolted joint, the ratchet is repeatedly moved back and forth through a specified angle. The ratchet transmits manual force in one direction of rotation directly to a nut or screw. In the opposite direction of rotation, on the other hand, no force is transmitted, but the ratchet rotates idle. To make the tool suitable for both screwing and unscrewing, this function can be switched with a lever or rotating ring on the head, so that the respective directions of rotation for idle and power transmission are reversed.
- the open switching mechanism of a conventional ratchet for switching between right-hand operation and left-hand operation is susceptible to ingress of dust and the like, which limits the life of the ratchet.
- a rotary tool for manual operation by a user having a grip portion for the user to grip, a functional portion for force-coupling with a component to be rotated, and a Has a shape memory component which can be controlled for transferring the functional section between different operating states.
- a "rotary tool” can be understood in particular as a tool that can be operated by a user and that can be rotated during operation.
- a rotary tool can be used for assembly or repair work.
- the rotary tool can be used with muscle power or with Examples of such turning tools are ratchets, screwdrivers, cordless screwdrivers, drills, etc.
- the turning tool can be a hand tool or a hand machine.
- a “handle section” can be understood in particular as a part of the turning tool that is intended to be gripped by a user or held by hand.
- the handle section can be a handle piece.
- a "functional section" can be understood in particular as a part of the turning tool that provides the tool function of the turning tool.
- the functional section can generate force between the turning tool and a body to be actuated by means of the turning tool (e.g. a nut or a screw). transfer.
- a "shape memory component” can be understood in particular as a component of the turning tool whose component function is based entirely or partially on a shape memory material (in particular a shape memory alloy) that can assume different spatial or structural configurations depending on its temperature.
- Shape memory alloys can, for example are formed by special metals that can exist in at least two different crystal structures Such shape memory alloys can remember a previous shape despite seem to remember subsequent deformation, ie they automatically move back into a different configuration with a corresponding temperature change. This phenomenon can be reversible in shape memory alloys, such that such materials can be switched back and forth between different spatial or structural configurations under the control of an applied temperature.
- Examples of materials that can be used as a shape memory alloy are nickel-titanium (particularly nitinol) or nickel-titanium-copper.
- different operating states of the functional section can be understood to mean, in particular, different spatial or structural configurations of shape memory material (and optionally other material that structurally interacts with it) of the shape memory component, which lead to different functional states or functions (such as right-hand operation or left-hand operation a ratchet) or to an activation or deactivation of a function (for example locking or unlocking a socket placed on an output of a ratchet) of the functional section and thus of the turning tool.
- a turning tool in particular a ratchet or a screwdriver
- a shape memory component that can be integrated inside the turning tool.
- This advantageously prevents dust and other foreign bodies from penetrating into the interior of the turning tool.
- a component function can be implemented inside the turning tool (for example, a switching mechanism can be integrated inside the turning tool).
- a component function that is open to the outside for example switching mechanism
- this in turn enables a longer service life of the turning tool, in particular well over two years. Additional exemplary embodiments of the turning tool are described below.
- the rotary tool can have an energy supply device, in particular at least one (e.g. replaceable) battery or at least one (in particular rechargeable, more particularly inductively rechargeable) rechargeable battery, for selectively supplying the shape memory component with energy for transferring the functional section between the different operating states.
- the shape memory material of the shape memory component can be transferred from a temperature below a limit temperature (which can also be referred to as the transition temperature) to a temperature above the limit temperature or from a temperature above an (identical or different) Limit temperature are carried out to a temperature below the limit temperature.
- Energy for a corresponding increase in temperature can preferably be provided by electrical energy, which can be provided by the energy supply device.
- Electrical current provided by the energy supply device can advantageously be conducted directly through an electrically conductive shape memory material in order to switch between different configurations of the shape memory component and consequently different operating states of the functional section.
- a temperature increase above a limit temperature can result in the shape-memory material of the shape-memory component being converted into a spatially expanded configuration.
- a temperature increase above a limit temperature can result in the shape-memory material of the shape-memory component being converted into a spatially contracted configuration.
- the energy supply device can be arranged in the handle section of the rotary tool. Due to anatomical requirements, a handle portion according to an exemplary embodiment is often of sufficient size to accommodate the energy supply device there. The energy supply device can be exchanged (for example a battery change) for example from an end face of the handle section.
- the energy supply device can be designed to selectively apply an electrical current to the shape memory component in order to convert the shape memory component between different mechanical configurations.
- a shape memory material can be electrically conductive, so that by passing electric current through the shape memory material due to ohmic losses, the shape memory material can be heated to a temperature above a limit or transformation temperature and thereby switched between different operating states of the functional section. Passing the electric current through the shape memory material can therefore lead to ohmic losses, which are advantageous here and cause the shape memory material to be heated to a temperature above the limit temperature. Switching the shape memory component between the different operating states can be accomplished simply by energizing the shape memory material or by interrupting the current flow through the shape memory material.
- the turning tool can have a light source for illuminating a working area of the turning tool, which light source can be supplied with energy by means of the energy supply device. If an energy supply device is accommodated in the rotary tool for switching the shape memory component between the different operating states of the functional section, these are used simultaneously for supplying the light source with electrical energy for illuminating a spatial area which is processed in operation by means of the functional section. This improves user convenience without significantly increasing the complexity of the turning tool.
- the shape memory component can have or consist of a mechanical spring (in particular a compression spring or a tension spring) made of a shape memory material, wherein the mechanical spring can have different axial lengths or axial extents in the different operating states.
- the mechanical spring can be a helical spring or a leaf spring.
- such a mechanical spring made of a shape memory alloy can be converted from an initial configuration into a deflected or expanded configuration by heating above a limit or transformation temperature (for example by applying current). In the case of a coil spring, such a transformation of the shape-memory material can therefore generate a compressive force.
- a leaf spring made of a shape memory material and mounted on a housing can be converted into a spatially expanded configuration in which the leaf spring is deflected and triggers a compressive force in the functional section, which in turn leads to the functional section being switched to another operating state.
- the shape memory component can have a further mechanical spring coupled to the mechanical spring.
- the further mechanical spring can be made of a material that is not a shape memory material.
- a first limit temperature, when exceeded, a shape-memory material expands spatially can be different (in particular higher) than a second limit temperature, when it falls below (after previously exceeding the first limit temperature), the shape-memory material expands spatially contracts again (compare figure 2D).
- the spring made of the shape-memory material can be returned more quickly to an initial position after cooling.
- This can be achieved in that the further spring can be compressed by the spring made of shape memory material when heated above the limit temperature and, after the spring has cooled below the limit temperature, exerting a restoring force on the spring made of shape memory material, which promotes its return to the starting position.
- the mechanical spring and the further mechanical spring can be arranged in a common housing, in particular coaxially.
- the power transmission between the two mechanical springs can thus take place along their common central axis.
- the two mechanical springs can be connected in series in the longitudinal direction.
- a lateral guidance of the two springs in a (for example hollow-cylindrical) housing can ensure a guided or defined force transmission along the central axis.
- a corresponding shape memory component has excellent properties with regard to the definition and controllability of the power transmission.
- the shape memory component can additionally have another mechanical spring made of a shape memory material and another further mechanical spring coupled to the other mechanical spring.
- another mechanical spring made of a shape memory material
- another further mechanical spring coupled to the other mechanical spring.
- a preferably structurally identical arrangement of the other two springs can be used in order to obtain a shape memory component according to a preferred exemplary embodiment. If the two arrangements are opposite are operated (for example by appropriate adjustment of a power supply), they can support each other synergistically when switching the functional section between different operating states.
- the mechanical spring can be configured to act on a changeover cam in the functional section at a first cam position and another mechanical spring of the shape memory component made of a shape memory material can be configured to act on the changeover cam at a second cam position, so that the changeover cam can be switched between two rotational positions by means of the shape memory component is.
- the mechanical spring and the further mechanical spring can be configured to act on a switchover cam in the functional section at a first cam position and the other mechanical spring and the other further mechanical spring can be formed to act on the switchover cam at a second cam position, so that the switchover cam can be moved by means of the shape memory component can be switched between two rotational positions (compare, for example, Figure 2A and Figure 2B).
- a respective pull wire for force transmission can be arranged between a respective arrangement of a spring made of shape memory material and a spring made of a material without shape memory on the one hand and the switching cam on the other hand. Energizing the shape memory material from one of the two assemblies may be sufficient to toggle the toggle cam by power transmission via a respective pull wire.
- two different operating states of the functional section can be set, for example either left-hand operation or right-hand operation of a ratchet.
- the mechanical spring and the further mechanical spring can be force-coupled to one another in the axial direction.
- a uniaxial (and therefore precisely guided) power transmission between the springs can be achieved.
- the spring made of shape memory material can be deflected when energized and can exert an axial force on the other spring. The interaction of the two springs can also accelerate the return of the spring made of shape memory material when it cools down after it has previously expanded due to heating.
- the shape memory component can have a flat actuator made of a shape memory material, which has different longitudinal extensions in the different operating states.
- the flat actuator can be designed as a planar or planar structure with segments extending in different directions.
- the flat actuator can be designed as a meander structure (compare FIG. 3), a zigzag structure, a wave structure or a sawtooth structure.
- a suitably shaped flat actuator a contraction or contraction of the shape memory material can be achieved when heated. In other words, energizing with such a configuration can lead to a reduction in dimension in the longitudinal direction.
- a configuration of the shape-memory material as a flat actuator with segments in the longitudinal and transverse direction allows a particularly fast switching between the different operating states and rapid cooling after the shape-memory material has been heated beforehand.
- a shape memory material of a flat actuator can also be switched between different configurations by electrical current flow through the shape memory material.
- the shape memory component can additionally have another flat actuator made of a shape memory material, which has different longitudinal extents in the different operating states.
- another flat actuator made of a shape memory material, which has different longitudinal extents in the different operating states.
- two example, identical Flat actuators are each coupled via an associated pull wire with a component in the functional section.
- an asymmetrical application of tensile force to the component can be achieved through the pull wires, so that it can be twisted, tilted or shifted and thereby switched.
- the flat actuator can be configured to act on a switching cam in the functional section at a first cam position, and the other flat actuator can be configured to act on the switching cam at a second cam position, so that the switching cam can be switched between two rotational positions by means of the shape memory component.
- Such a configuration embodied in the embodiment of Figure 3, allows, for example, switching between right-hand operation and left-hand operation of a ratchet or other turning tool.
- the shape-memory component can form an outer section of the turning tool that is formed from a shape-memory material and has a different external dimension at least in sections in the different operating states.
- a shape-memory material can then have a filament-like, strip-like or plate-like shape and can be exposed to the outside or drawn in to the inside by energization or other heating.
- the rotary tool can then act on a peripheral component (for example, a nut provided with a notch can be positively locked on an output of the rotary component, with the temporarily exposed shape-memory material being able to engage in the notch of the nut for locking).
- the peripheral component can be removed from the turning tool without force (for example, the nut can be removed from the output without the shape memory material doing so prevented).
- the shape memory component can therefore advantageously extend along an outside of an output of the functional section.
- the shape memory component can be transferred between a configuration that rests on the outside of the turning tool and a configuration that protrudes at least in sections from the outside of the turning tool.
- the shape memory device in the fitted configuration, can assume an elongated shape. In the raised protruding configuration, the shape memory component can clearly be bulged.
- the shape memory component can be formed as a filament of the shape memory material.
- a filament made of a shape-memory material can be transferred with a particularly low energy input above a limit temperature for switching the configuration of the shape-memory material, in particular because a filament shape promotes temperature-increasing ohmic losses.
- the shape memory component can be used to transfer the output between a state fastening a nut to the output when the shape memory component protrudes beyond the outside of the rotary tool and a state in which the nut is released from the output when the shape memory component is in contact with the outside. be trained.
- Such an embodiment thus provides a quick release mechanism for releasing a nut from an output of the rotary tool using a shape memory component.
- the temporary or reversible attachment of nut and output to one another can be done, for example, by an engagement body actuated by means of a shape memory material for engaging in a recess in the nut, or by engaging the shape memory material itself in the recess in the nut take place.
- the nut can be ejected or removed from the output by moving the engagement body or the shape memory material into the output, triggered by a corresponding temperature control of the shape memory material.
- the nut is to be pushed onto the output so that its free end can act on a component or fastening element (such as a nut or a screw) while the turning tool applies a turning force.
- a component or fastening element such as a nut or a screw
- the shape memory material can be converted into the raised projecting configuration by sufficient heating of the latter. In this configuration, the shape memory material can engage a groove or notch or other depression in the nut to lock the nut to the turning tool.
- the shape memory component can be powered off, as a result of which the shape memory material cools down and is converted or returned to a configuration that rests on the outside of the output.
- the previous positive connection between the shape memory material and the indentation of the nut is thereby canceled and the nut is released from the turning tool.
- the functional section can have a power transmission mechanism, which can be selectively operated in a right-hand operation or in a left-hand operation, for transmitting a rotary force from the rotary tool to the component to be rotated, and a switching device for switching the power transmission mechanism between the right-hand operation and the left-hand operation, the switching device having the Has shape memory component.
- the switching device can be switched to left-hand or right-hand operation.
- the power transmission mechanism may be configured to operate in the right-hand direction and in the Left-hand operation in each case in one of two mutually inverse directions of rotation of the rotary tool to transmit a rotary force to the component to be rotated and to run idle or freewheel in a respective opposite direction of rotation.
- the power transmission mechanism can have a gear wheel that can be coupled to the component to be rotated and a switching cam that engages with the gear wheel, the switching cam being switchable between a position corresponding to right-hand operation and a position corresponding to left-hand operation by means of the shape-memory component of the switching device.
- a switching mechanism can be fully integrated inside the turning tool and can therefore offer particularly good protection against the ingress of dirt, moisture or dust.
- the shape-memory component of the switching device can have a first shape-memory structure and a second shape-memory structure, which can be activated independently of one another for setting right-hand operation or left-hand operation.
- first shape memory structure without energizing the second shape memory structure at the same time, only the length of the first shape memory structure can be influenced (in particular reduced), which can generate a force for generating right-hand operation or left-hand operation.
- only the length of the second shape memory structure can be influenced (in particular reduced) by energizing the second shape memory structure without simultaneously energizing the first shape memory structure other power to generate the other of right operation and left operation can generate.
- the switching device can have a bistable spring plate (e.g. a leaf spring with two bistable states of curvature) between the first shape memory structure and the second shape memory structure for switching the power transmission mechanism between a first stability configuration corresponding to right-hand operation and a second stability configuration corresponding to left-hand operation.
- a bistable spring plate can selectively assume a stable first configuration or a stable second configuration.
- the stable first configuration can correspond to an operating state in which only the first shape memory structure (but not the second shape memory structure) is energized
- the stable second configuration can correspond to an operating state in which only the second shape memory structure (but not the first shape memory structure) is energized is.
- Such a bistable spring plate can thus stabilize left-hand operation or right-hand operation even if an activation current for activating a respective shape memory structure is switched off.
- the bi-stable spring plate configured in this way can be made of spring steel, for example. It can function similarly to a "clicker".
- one end of the bistable spring plate can be coupled to the switching cam and an opposite end of the bistable spring plate can be coupled to a rotatably mounted rocker.
- a respective end of the first shape memory structure and the second shape memory structure can be coupled to the rotatably mounted seesaw and a respective opposite end of the first shape memory structure and the second shape memory structure can be fixedly attached to the rotary tool, for example to a housing or a circuit board.
- the bistable spring plate is transferred from one stable configuration to the other stable configuration. Since the bistable spring plate is coupled not only to the rocker but also to the changeover cam, the conversion of the bistable spring plate into the other configuration results in the changeover cam being switched between left-hand operation and right-hand operation of the turning tool.
- the functional section can have an output, in particular designed for attaching a nut.
- an output can be understood in particular as an overhang on the functional section protruding on the outside with a non-rotationally symmetrical circumference (e.g. a square circumference), onto which a nut with an inversely shaped recess can be placed in order to transmit torque from the turning tool to the nut .
- a free end of the nut mounted on the output may be mechanically configured to rotationally drive a fastener (such as a bolt or nut).
- the turning tool can have the nut that can be attached or attached to the output. It is also possible to provide a set of different nuts, each of which can be slipped onto the output of the turning tool. It is therefore possible to drive a wide variety of fasteners with one and the same turning tool.
- the shape memory component can be designed to transfer the output between a state that fastens the nut and a state that releases the nut.
- the shape memory component can thus be designed as a reversible lock for a nut.
- the shape memory component can be designed to act on an engagement body in a recess of the output in order to convert the engagement body between an outwardly protruding and nut-engaging state on the one hand and a retracted and nut-releasing state on the other hand.
- the engagement body can be a ball or a pin.
- the shape memory component can be configured to be moved parallel to the engagement body or to be moved angularly, in particular perpendicularly, to the engagement body in order to convert the engagement body between the outwardly projecting state and the retracted state. If the engagement body protrudes outwards, an attached socket is locked. If the engagement body is pulled back, a nut that has been set up is unlocked.
- the handle section can have at least one actuation device that can be actuated by a user and that can be actuated to transfer the functional section between the different operating states.
- the at least one actuating device can have an actuating device (e.g. formed by two buttons) for transferring the shape memory component between left-hand operation and right-hand operation.
- an actuating device can be provided for transferring the shape memory component between a state of an output of the turning tool that fastens a nut and a state of the output that releases the nut.
- the actuator may include a first knob for setting right-hand operation.
- the actuating device can have a second button for setting left-hand operation.
- the Actuating device has a third button for selectively locking or unlocking a nut with respect to an output.
- at least one actuating device can be designed to switch on and/or switch off a light source, for example an LED for illuminating a work area in the vicinity of the rotary tool.
- At least one of the at least one actuating device in the rotary tool can have a functional double assignment, so that a single actuating device can be actuated to select one of two different functions.
- a first actuation device can be provided with a double assignment in order to select a first function and a second function. It is also possible to also provide a second actuating device with a further double assignment in order to selectively select a third function or a fourth function.
- the first function can be a transfer of the
- the second function can include a transition of the shape memory component into a nut-releasing state of the output.
- the third function can include converting the shape memory component into left-hand operation.
- the fourth function may include turning on a light source.
- the shape memory component can be arranged on and/or in the handle section and/or on and/or in the functional section.
- Such an integration of the shape memory component in the interior of the turning tool enables the production of a particularly space-saving turning tool. Integrating the shape memory component inside the turning tool also protects the associated mechanics from contamination and therefore increases their service life.
- shape memory material of the shape memory device may be one of a group be formed, which consists of a wire, a spring, a sleeve and a membrane.
- the shape-memory material can therefore have very different forms, which can be freely selected according to the desired functionality.
- the turning tool can be designed as a ratchet (also referred to as a ratchet) or as a screwdriver (for example a screwdriver with a ratchet function).
- a screwdriver for example a screwdriver with a ratchet function
- Other rotary tools with a shape memory component are also possible, for example a cordless screwdriver or a drill.
- the functional section can have a power transmission mechanism with a gear for transmitting a turning force from the turning tool to the component to be turned.
- the transmission can be configured with at least two different gear ratios between a user turning force on the handle portion and a turning result acting on the rotating component (e.g. a turning force acting on the rotating component).
- the transmission can have at least two gears with different radii for providing the at least two different transmission ratios, wherein a force coupling between the handle section and the functional section can take place by means of a respectively selected one of the at least two gears.
- the functional section on the head of the rotary tool can thus be provided with a gear that can have two or more gears with different outer diameters.
- Different gear ratios are assigned to the different gears, similar to the gears of a bicycle.
- the user-side selection of one of the gears of the transmission for force coupling between the rotary tool and a component to be rotated makes it possible to adapt a rotary force to be transmitted in an operating state by switching on a larger gear. If, on the other hand, a user would like to achieve a large angle of rotation of a nut that is attached to an output of the turning tool with a small angle of rotation of the turning tool, the user can activate smaller gear.
- a gear change is thus possible by implementing a transmission in the functional section of the turning tool, as a result of which the turning tool can be used with increased flexibility. For example, in the case of a ratchet or a screwdriver with a ratchet function, you can choose between turning faster and turning more slowly.
- the transmission can be switched between different operating states with the different transmission ratios by means of the shape memory component.
- the shape memory component can thus set a transmission ratio that can be selected by the user, for example by activating one of a plurality of gear wheels of different sizes by the shape memory component.

- the solid structure of the shape memory material changes above a transition temperature, so that the shape memory material automatically transitions between the configurations shown in FIG. 2E and FIG. 2F and thereby switches between the two operating states (left-hand operation or right-hand operation of the ratchet).
- rotary tool 100 has a light source 110 (for example having one or more light-emitting diodes) for illuminating a working area of rotary tool 100 during operation, which can also be supplied with electrical energy by means of energy supply device 108.
- shape memory device 106 includes a helical mechanical spring 112 formed of an electrically conductive shape memory material (e.g., nitinol). Depending on a temperature of the shape memory material, which can be set by selectively energizing the shape memory material, the shape memory material spring 112 has different axial lengths in the different operating states.
- the shape memory component 106 has a further mechanical spring 114 coupled to the mechanical spring 112 .
- the springs 112, 114 are attached to one another in series in the axial direction and are spaced apart from one another by a coupling plate 150. FIG.
- the mechanical spring 112 and the further mechanical spring 114 are thus force-coupled to one another in the axial direction.
- the springs 112, 114 are arranged along a common central axis. While the spring 112 should be made in whole or in part from a shape memory material, the further mechanical spring 114 can be made from another material that is not a shape memory material.
- the other mechanical spring 114 acts as a passive compression spring.
- the mechanical spring 112 and the further mechanical spring 114 are advantageously arranged coaxially to one another in a common housing 120 .
- the housing 120 surrounds the springs 112, 114 laterally and (optionally in combination with a grub screw 152) on one end surface, whereas an opposite end surface of the housing 120 can be open.
- An electrical current which is provided by the electrical energy supply device 108 , can be applied to the shape memory material spring 112 via electrical contacts 154 . With no current input (compare FIG. 2F), the shape memory material spring 112 is in a resting state.
- the shape memory material spring 112 is heated and converted to a different solid state configuration, as shown in FIG Embodiment leads to an expansion of the shape memory material spring 112 in the longitudinal direction. As a result, the further spring 114 force-coupled to the shape memory material spring 112 in the axial direction is compressed.
- a force-transmitting element 156 shown in Figure 2A and Figure 2B (e.g. a wire) which is connected between the springs 112, 114 in the housing 120 and a switching cam 122 can be converted into different mechanical stress states depending on whether a electric current is passed through the shape memory material of the spring 112 or not.
- the switching cam 122 clearly functions as a spring-loaded rocker.
- Numeral 151 in Figure 2 designates a separator disk and an electrical contact.
- FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B show that the shape memory component 106 also has another mechanical spring 116 made of a shape memory material and another mechanical spring 118 coupled to the other mechanical spring 116, which can also be arranged in a housing 120.
- the springs 116, 118 in the housing 120 can be expanded and configured in a corresponding manner as the springs 112, 114 in the housing 120, so that reference is made to the above description in this regard.
- another force-transmitting element 158 e.g., a wire
- the switching cam 122 can be placed in different mechanical stress states depending on whether an electric current guided by the shape memory material of the other spring 116 or not.
- the mechanical spring 112 and the other mechanical spring 114 act on the switching cam 122 in the functional section 104 at a first cam position, whereas the other mechanical spring 116 and the other mechanical spring 118 at a second cam position act on the switching cam 122. Consequently the switching cam 122 can be switched between two rotational positions by means of the shape memory component 106, which corresponds to left-hand operation or right-hand operation of the ratchet.
- the corresponding force transmission between the shape memory component 106 and the changeover cam 122 is accomplished by the force transmission elements 156, 158, which function here as pull wires of the functional section 104.
- the functional section 104 thus has a force transmission mechanism 134, which can be selectively operated in right-hand or left-hand mode, for transmitting a rotary force from rotary tool 100 to the component to be rotated.
- a switching device 136 is used to switch the power transmission mechanism 134 between right-hand operation and left-hand operation and makes use of the shape memory component 106 described.
- the force transmission mechanism 134 is designed to transmit a rotational force to the component to be rotated in one of two mutually inverse directions of rotation of the rotary tool 100 in clockwise and counterclockwise operation and to run idle in a respective opposite direction of rotation.
- the power transmission mechanism 134 is provided with a gear 140 which can be coupled to the component to be rotated and the switching cam 122 which engages with the gear 140 .
- the switching cam 122 can be switched between a right-hand position and a left-hand position by means of the shape memory element 106 of the switching device 136, which is accomplished by applying or not applying an electric current to the respective shape memory springs 112,116.
- the functional section 104 has an output 132 which is rigidly coupled to the gear wheel 140 and for attaching a nut, not shown serves.
- the output 132 has a square profile, but can also be designed differently.

- Two actuating devices 146 designed as side push buttons can be actuated by a user to transfer the shape memory component 106 between left-hand operation (e.g. lower actuating device 146 according to FIG. 1B) and right-hand operation (e.g. upper actuating device 146 according to FIG. 1B).
- These actuating devices 146 can therefore be actuated to switch the functional section 104 between left-hand operation and right-hand operation.
- An actuating device 146 designed as a sliding element can be pushed by a user in order to positively lock a socket placed on the output 132 on the output 132 or to unlock it from the output 132 (for example in the manner shown in Figure 4A to Figure 6C).
- the latter actuating device 146 can therefore be actuated in order to transfer the shape memory component 106 between a state of the output 132 of the rotary tool 100 fastening a socket and a state of the output 132 in which the socket is released.
- the shape memory component 106 described can be actuated to set left-hand operation or right-hand operation.
- a further shape memory component 106 (not shown in FIG. 1A to FIG.
- the shape memory component 106 is arranged in the functional section 104 and inside a tool housing 186 and is therefore advantageously isolated from environmental influences.
