Patent ID: 8066611

Claim:
An electric tool, comprising: a gear transmission housing ( 6 ); a multi-stage gear transmission ( 10 ) located in the gear transmission housing ( 6 ) and having at least two axially displaceable indexing gears ( 42 a , 42 b ); a shifting device ( 12 ) for shifting the gear transmission ( 10 ) from one stage to another stage and having a shifting slide ( 14 ) linearly displaceable between different shifting positions; at least two connection elements ( 32 ) for connecting the shifting slide ( 14 ) with respective indexing gears ( 42 a , 42 b ), wherein the shifting slide ( 14 ) has a tracing profile ( 20 ) for pivoting the connection elements ( 32 ) in a predetermined position and having two control tracks ( 22 , 24 ), and the connection elements ( 32 ) each has a first tracing section ( 30 a ) and a second tracing section ( 30 b ) to which the tracing profile ( 20 ) of the shifting slide ( 14 ) applies a shifting force in stages and which are arranged on opposite sides of a pivot axis (SA) of the respective connection element ( 32 ) in a common plane that passes through the pivot axis (AZ).
