Patent ID: 8622148

Claim:
A power tool comprising: a drive motor ( 2 ); a tool spindle ( 3 ) for driving a tool in rotary manner; a rotary drive transmission ( 4 ) for coupling the drive motor ( 2 ) with the tool spindle ( 3 ); a hammer mechanism ( 5 ) for driving the tool in percussive manner; a hammering mechanism transmission ( 6 ) for coupling the drive motor ( 2 ) with the hammering mechanism ( 5 ); and a switching device ( 7 ) for activating and deactivating the hammering mechanism ( 5 ), wherein the switching device ( 7 ) has a clutch ( 9 ) that is integrated in a force path ( 10 ) of the hammer mechanism transmission ( 6 ) and an actuation stroke ( 11 ) for advancing and withdrawing the clutch ( 9 ), wherein the actuation stroke ( 11 ) extends perpendicularly to the axis of rotation ( 8 ) of the tool spindle ( 3 ) parallel to an axis of rotation ( 37 ) of an actuating element ( 28 ) of the switching device ( 7 ) that is rotated manually for advancing and withdrawing the clutch ( 9 ), wherein the switching device ( 7 ) includes an actuating device ( 27 ) that has a stroke drive ( 36 ) that converts a manually applied rotary movement of the actuating element ( 28 ) into a stroke displacement of a stroke element ( 29 ), the stroke element ( 29 ) cooperating with an annular section ( 31 ) that has at least one radially inwardly protruding sliding member ( 38 ) and the stroke drive ( 36 ) has a bushing ( 39 ) that is rotatable coaxially with the annular section ( 31 ) and which has at least one radially external shoulder ( 40 ) rising axially in the circumferential direction, which cooperates with the sliding member ( 38 ) to convert a rotary movement of the bushing ( 39 ) into a stroke displacement of the stroke element ( 29 ).
