Various exemplary surgical impacting tool interfaces and methods of using surgical impacting tool interfaces are provided. In general, a surgical impacting tool includes a locking assembly configured to releasably attach to an adapter. In response to engagement with the adapter, the locking assembly is configured to move from an unlocked configuration, in which the adapter is not releasably attached to the surgical impacting tool (nor is any other adapter releasably attached to the surgical impacting tool via the locking assembly), to a locked configuration, in which the adapter is releasably attached to the surgical impacting tool via the locking assembly. The locking assembly is configured to receive the adapter in a longitudinal direction along a longitudinal axis defined by the locking assembly and to automatically lock the adapter to the surgical impacting tool.

A percussion tool is used for performing a chiseling operation on a workpiece with a chisel. The percussion tool comprises a housing including a cylinder portion, a tool holder coupled to the cylinder portion for holding the chisel, and a percussion mechanism including a striker supported for reciprocation in the cylinder portion. The percussion mechanism is configured to impart repeated axial impacts to the chisel with the striker. The percussion tool further comprises a flange between the cylinder portion and the tool holder. Movement of the chisel within the tool holder toward the percussion mechanism is stopped by the flange.

A hand-held power tool includes a tool receiver that includes a tubular tool holder configured to lock an insert tool therein by an assigned locking device via at least one locking element. The locking device includes a pressure sleeve that is spring-loaded via an assigned spring element, and a stop sleeve, the stop sleeve having a contact surface on its inner circumference, and the spring-loaded pressure sleeve pressing the at least one locking element in a locking position against the contact surface. The tubular tool holder has at least one recess in which the at least one locking element in the locking position is located, at least portionally, the at least one recess having a ramp-type guideway. The at least one locking element is displaceable along the ramp-type guideway from the locking position to an unlocking position.

A tool receptacle for a hand-held power tool, in particular for a demolition hammer or chisel hammer, includes—a receptacle element for receiving a tool, and a locking element which for locking the tool in the tool receptacle is mounted so as to be eccentric and rotatable on the receptacle element, wherein the locking element with the aid of rotating the latter about the receptacle element is capable of being moved from an unlocked state in which the tool is retrievable from the receptacle element to a locked state in which the locking element encompasses the tool in a form-fitting manner, and vice versa.

A drill apparatus including an inner tube, an outer tube slidably received within the outer tube, and a pole extension mechanism. The pole extension mechanism comprises a pole advance gear having pole advance gear teeth, and a drive gear having drive gear teeth, the drive gear being coaxial with and fixedly attached to the pole advance gear so that the two gears rotate together. The pole advance gear teeth are received in aligned spaced apart apertures in the outer tube. The pole extension mechanism further includes a lever arm having an end pivotally mounted on the support collar at a lever arm pivot point coaxial with the drive gear and the pole advance gear. The pole extension mechanism further includes a stop pawl pivotally mounted on the support collar for rotation between where the stop pawl engages the drive gear and prevents downward movement of the pole inner tube relative to the pole outer tube, and where the stop pawl does not engage the drive gear, and a drive pawl piece pivotally mounted on the lever arm near the lever arm end.

A system configured to couple a hydraulic hammer and tool is disclosed. A hydraulic hammer may include a housing defining a chamber, elongate along a longitudinal axis, configured to receive a tool. The chamber may comprise an opening through which the tool may be inserted. A plurality of upper splines and a plurality of lower splines may be disposed, parallel to the longitudinal axis, on an inner surface of the chamber. A locking mechanism, comprising a rotatable locking ring, may be disposed within the chamber between the plurality of upper splines and the plurality of lower splines. The locking ring may comprise a plurality of locking ring splines disposed on an inner surface of the locking ring, wherein the plurality of locking ring splines are configured to align with the plurality of upper splines and the plurality of lower splines when the locking ring is rotated to an unlocked state.
