Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hand-held setting tool with connection for a positioning device with tripping mediation mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Art Such setting devices with connection for a positioning device with tripping or remote triggering z. B. used in overhead mounting on high ceilings, where otherwise only working with work platforms or ladders would be possible.
  • the setting devices can, for. B. with solid, gaseous or liquid fuels or with compressed or compressed air or electrically operated.
  • a positioning and release device for a combustion-powered setting tools which has a connection means for a setting device, which is arranged at one end of an elongate handle in the form of a rod or a rod.
  • the rod is axially displaceable relative to the attachment means to actuate the trigger switch of a setting device fixed to the attachment means via coupling means.
  • the positioning and triggering device further comprises a safety device which prevents triggering of the setting device in alignment with the mouth exactly in the direction of the gravitational force.
  • the safety device includes for this purpose designed as a ball locking element, which is guided in a direction obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the rod and formed as a channel recess in a component in the form of the connecting means.
  • the ball rolls in an orientation in the direction of the gravitational force in the path of movement of the rod and prevents further movement of the rod relative to the carrier and thus the triggering of a carrier arranged on the setting device.
  • the rod has at its end facing the attachment means a radially circumferential further recess into which the ball can engage.
  • a disadvantage of this setting tool is that the diameter of the ball defines the maximum, available in the release position of the ball movement path of the handle relative to the housing, within which all the necessary functions such. As the triggering of the ignition must be done. It therefore requires a high contact pressure for this short movement. It is also disadvantageous that very different angles arise when lifting the setting device up to the activation and lowering of the setting device to the renewed locking of the setting device. In other words, the limit angle at which a setting process is still possible in the case of a deviation of the setting device from a vertical orientation opposite to that of the gravitational force may differ depending on which orientation changes the setting device has undergone prior to triggering. In addition, if the setting device is pressed with momentum horizontally against the wall or down against the ground, the locking ball from its locked position roll and the setting device can be released unintentionally.
  • the object of the present invention is to develop a hand-held setting tool with connection for a positioning device with tripping mediation of the aforementioned type, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned and in which theROCperperr nails allows the triggering of a setting operation by remote triggering within a predetermined angular range and a sufficient switching stroke allows to operate the setting device at the same time with little effort.
  • a hand-held setting tool with connection for a positioning device having the features of the independent claim.
  • a recess for the blocking element which is open toward the component along the axis is arranged on the first axis-displaceable switching element and are furthermore provided at least three each guided in a separate channel locking elements provided.
  • the channels are inclined relative to a plane which intersects the axis perpendicularly, wherein the channels intersect in regions an axial projection of the first switching element and are open in the overlap regions to the first switching element.
  • the channels run to the axial projection of the switching element similar to a secant, ie they do not run on the axis of the switching element, but they cut the axial projection peripherally.
  • the locking position of the safety device is not only in a particular orientation of the setting device, but rotationally symmetrical to the longitudinal axis in other deviating from the approved orientation tilting plies, since then always at least one blocking element in the overlap region of a channel with the Switching element is located and thus extends into the recess. So z. B. the locking position are always triggered when the positioning device in a tilted position to the vertical (i.e., the vector of the gravitational force opposite orientation) is transferred, which exceeds a maximum allowable tilt angle.
  • the maximum stroke of the switching element is not determined by the size of the blocking elements.
  • the controlled via the Anpressweg functions such.
  • the triggering of the setting device or the transport of cartridges in the case of powder-driven setting tools therefore, can be designed on the basis of the optimal force-displacement behavior. High contact forces can therefore be avoided.
  • the setting device can be triggered when the setting device is arranged with the positioning device arranged thereon in an orientation in the direction of the vector of the gravitational force and / or a tilting position to this orientation.
  • the channels are distributed rotationally symmetrically about the axis around, so that the blocking function in each rotational position of the device around its longitudinal axis always at the same release angles allows a triggering mediation.
  • the locking elements are pin-shaped, whereby an early opening of the locking position can be prevented when the setting device is dynamically moved against a wall or a floor and the locking elements tend due to the accelerations occurring in the channels tend to move out of their blocking positions, as the pin-shaped blocking elements as opposed to spherical Locking elements are blocking effective over its entire axial length. Early opening of the blocking position is thus avoided.
  • the switching element is rod-shaped and guided in a guide channel of the component.
  • the channels are inclined at an angle between 20 ° and 50 ° to the axis perpendicularly intersecting plane.
  • a reliable unlocking is achieved inclined in a vertical orientation against the gravitational force or slightly inclined to this orientation and on the other hand, the tripping switch is reliably locked in an orientation perpendicular to the vector of gravitational force (horizontal orientation) or a dynamic pressing in the direction of gravitational force.
  • the overlapping areas of the channels for axial projection of the switching element towards the axis have a depth which is smaller than the diameter of the channels.
  • the recess is formed as in both axial directions of the switching element closed, circumferential annular groove, whereby a good accessibility of the recess for the locking elements is achieved and the locking elements upon transfer of the device in a not authorized for a triggering orientation of the Device can easily engage from the channels into the recess blocking effective.
