Patent ID: 7355314

Claim:
An electrical hand-held power tool ( 2 ), comprising: an electric motor ( 4 ) including: a stator ( 12 ) having: a stator housing ( 16 ); and a stator winding ( 14 ); and a device ( 26 ) for reversing a rotational direction of the electric motor ( 4 ), the reversing device ( 26 ) including: a contact carrier ( 28 ) fixedly and releasably securable on the stator housing ( 16 ) by releasable connection means, field contact means ( 32 ) for an electrical connection with the stator winding ( 14 ) and fixed contacts means ( 42 a , 42 b ) electrically connected with the field contact means ( 32 ), and a brush carrier ( 30 ) provided with carbon guides ( 48 ) and switching contact means ( 52 a , 52 b ) electrically connected with the carbon guides ( 48 ) and electrically connectable with the fixed contact means ( 42 a , 42 b ) of the contact carrier ( 28 ), the brush carrier ( 30 ) being rotatable relative to the contact carrier ( 28 ), the stator housing ( 16 ) having an axial stop for the brush carrier ( 30 ) with the brush carrier ( 30 ) directly contacting the stator housing ( 16 ) over the axial stop.
