Abstract

A portable container (70) for a hand-held power tool (10) has electronics and electronics interface (155) between the hand-held power tool (10) and the container electronics that contain a remote data transmission device (30) for wireless, network-supported digital remote data transmission with a data processing and control unit (150), a wireless transmitting and receiving unit communicating a processing and control unit (150), and a radio antenna (32), with the electronics interface (155) being designed for local data transmission between the remote data transmission device (30) and a hand-held power tool (10).

Claims

1. A portable container for a hand-held power tool (10), comprising electronics including a remote data transmission device (30) for wireless, network-supported digital remote data transmission, a data processing and control unit (150), a wireless transmitting and receiving unit communicating with the data processing and control unit (150), and a radio antenna (32);

and an electronics interface (155) for local data transmission between the remote data transmission device (30) and a hand-held power tool (10).

2. A container according to claim 1, wherein the electronics further comprise a manually actuated switching device (156) for activating the remote data transmission device (30).

3. A container according to claim 2, wherein the manually actuated switching device (156) is accessibly arranged externally at a container wall.

4. A container according to claim 1, wherein the wireless transmitting and receiving unit is formed as a GSM module (31).

5. A container according to claim 1, further comprising a position determining device (40) for global positioning is provided in addition to the remote data transmission device (30) and which communicates with the data processing and control unit (150).

6. A container according to claim 5, wherein the position determining device (40) has a separate antenna (42).

7. A container according to one of claim 5, wherein the position determining device (40) has a GPS module (41).

8. A container according to claim 1, wherein the radio antenna (32) and the antenna (42) are arranged next to an outer wall of the container.

9. A container according to claim 4, wherein the GSM module (31) and the GPS module (41) are combined to form a constructional unit (34).

10. A container according to one of claims 1, wherein power tool data and measurement data of the hand-held power tool (10), which is provided with a control unit (50) for processing measurement data and for controlling device functions, can be sent from the data processing and control unit (150) to an evaluation location (62) by the remote data transmission device (30) with SMS.

11. A container according to claim 1, wherein the power tool control parameters, control programs and control program parts can be sent to the data processing and control unit (150) by the remote data transmission device (30) with SMS.
