Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand tool, such as in particular an electric hammer drill, a chisel or impact drill, a motor-driven saw, in particular a jigsaw or saber saw, or a separating or grinding device, in particular an angle grinder.
  • the hand tool device has a main housing, in which a tool spindle, which extends along a working axis, is at least partially accommodated.
  • the tool spindle carries a tool holder.
  • the hand tool device has a handle housing, which forms a handle and is held on a side facing away from the tool holder rear of the main housing via a connection arrangement.
  • the connection arrangement in this case has two perpendicular to the working axis spaced connections.
  • Such hand tool devices allow, by the housing separate from the main body of the handle housing a pre-assembly, in particular of electrical or electronic components on the handle.
  • the handle can thus be prefabricated separately from the rest of the hand tool, for example in a spatially separate operation with all components provided on it and brought together only for final assembly with the rest of the hand tool.
  • means may be provided in such hand tools between the handle and the main housing, which reduce the transmission of vibrations occurring during operation of the main body to the handle by vibration isolation or damping.
  • a hand tool machine having a handle connected at one end to a housing via a pivotal connection. At the other end of the handle is connected via an insulating device to the housing.
  • This has a spring element for vibration isolation, which is supported between the handle and a thumbwheel, which in turn is held by a retaining screw in the axial direction adjustable on the housing.
  • a retaining screw Parallel to the retaining screw, two guide pins are provided between the handle and the housing, which at the handle lead a sprung by the spring element pivotal movement about the pivotal connection in the axial direction.
  • the bias of the spring element can be adjusted by means of the adjusting wheel to different types of applications to ensure at any time a vibration isolation of the handle can.
  • the present invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages mentioned in a hand tool and to reduce manufacturing costs.
  • a first connection has a rear grip element on one of the housing of the main housing and the handle housing, which can be brought into loose engagement with an engagement element of the respective other housing.
  • Loose engagement is understood to mean that the rear grip element and the engagement element are not held directly against one another, at least in one direction.
  • a second connection has a handle-side locking device and a main housing-side locking device, which are positively connected to one another via a third locking device. In this case, with the production of the positive connection at the second connection at the same time also the loose engagement of the first connection is secured.
  • the rear engagement element and the engagement element are also not separable from one another along the at least one direction in which they are not held directly against each other and thus the engagement along the remaining directions is maintained.
  • the handle housing can be fixed particularly stable on the main body in this approach.
  • the handle-side locking device and the main housing-side locking device recesses, which can be brought into engagement with the third locking device.
  • the second connection can be made in a stable manner with particularly few and easy traversformenden elements.
  • the recesses may be formed for example by threaded holes for producing a screw, by an engagement contour for producing a further positive engagement or by alignable holes for producing a simple locking means of the third locking device.
  • the third locking device is formed by a third housing part which can be fixed to at least one of the housing of the main housing and the handle housing.
  • the third locking device is formed on a housing part, which fulfills an additional function. In this way, the number of individual elements to be mounted of the power tool can be further reduced.
  • the third locking device is formed by a screwed to the main housing motor housing cover, whereby a particularly stable positive connection of the two locking devices can be ensured.
  • the third locking device on a pin-shaped latch Preferably, the third locking device on a pin-shaped latch.
  • the locking devices are formed by mutually aligned recesses, which can be penetrated jointly by the bolt. In this way, the positive connection between the handle housing and the main housing can be produced by a particularly easy to manufacture and to be mounted construction.
  • At least one elastic element is advantageously provided between the third locking device and at least one of the locking devices consisting of a grip-side locking device and a main-housing-side locking device.
  • the positive connection between the handle housing and the main housing with the interposition of an insulating or damping acting elastic element can be produced, whereby a significant reduction in vibration can be achieved.
  • the elastic element is circumferentially held on the respective locking device and has a recess which is penetrated by the bolt.
  • the positive connection between the handle side and the main housing-side locking device can be made by the bolt, while at the same time a certain play between the bolt and the handle-side locking device for vibration damping or insulation can be used.
  • the rear grip element has a concave contour fixedly connected to one of the housings comprising the grip housing and the main housing.
  • the engagement element is formed by a fixedly connected to the respective other housing convex contour.
  • the convex and the concave contour allow a relative pivotal movement of the two housing to the second connection, whereby the Verriegelungs wornn the first connection are easier to bring into alignment to then connect them via the latch form-fitting manner.
  • the concave contour rests with the interposition of a further elastic means on the convex contour.
  • a vibration damping or insulation between the handle housing and the main housing can also be made at the connection formed by the rear grip element and the engagement element. As a result, the total vibration occurring on the handle can be further reduced.
  • At least one elastic means is made of a foamed plastic.
  • a cost-effective vibration damping can be achieved, which causes a significant reduction in vibration.
  • Fig. 1 shows a hand tool 2 in the form of a hammer drill with a substantially three-piece housing.
  • a main housing 4 while a motor 6 and a schematically illustrated gear 8 are housed. These drive a tool spindle 10, which extends along a working axis 12 and on which a tool holder 14 is held against rotation.
  • a handle 18 is formed over which the hand tool 2 is held with one hand, which simultaneously actuates a pusher 20 of a motor switch, not shown.
  • a motor cover 22 is provided, which is formed separately from the main housing 4, and via which a housing opening 24 of the main housing 4 in the region of the motor 6 can be closed.
  • This motor cover 22 can be fixed to the main housing 4 via screws 26 and extensions 27.
  • the handle housing 16 can be connected to the main housing 4 or to the motor cover 22 by means of a connecting arrangement designated overall by 28.
  • a first connection 50 has on the main housing side a convex engagement element 52 which protrudes on a gear housing 54 and can be engaged behind the interposition of a first elastic element 56 made of foamed plastic by a handle housing side rear grip element 58.
  • the rear grip element 58 has a substantially concave receptacle 60, which is formed on the grip housing 16 and into which the first elastic element 56 can be inserted. This in turn forms a receiving space 62 which is open to one side and in which the convex engagement element 52 can be received, as can be seen in particular from FIG.
  • the connection arrangement 28 further has main housing-side recesses 30 of a main housing-side locking device, which are provided on four projecting from a rear side 34 of the main housing 4 housing webs 36.
  • a molded on the handle housing 16 eyelet element 38 can be positioned between each two of the housing webs 36 .
  • These eyelet elements 38 each have a continuous handle-side recess 42 of a handle-side locking device for receiving a second elastic element 40 made of foamed plastic.
  • the second elastic elements 40 each have a passage recess 44. These passage recesses 44 can be brought into common alignment with the respectively adjacent main housing-side recesses 30.
  • connection arrangement 28 provides two peg-shaped latches 46, which protrude from the engine cover 22.
  • the recesses 30, 42, the second elastic members 40 and the bars 46 serve, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 2 and 3, for producing a second connection 48 of the connection arrangement 28. This is perpendicular to the working axis 12 of the first connection 50 spaced apart.
  • the second elastic elements 40 are inserted into the handle-side recesses 42 on the handle housing side.
  • the first elastic element 56 is inserted into the receptacle 60 of the rear grip element 58, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • the handle housing 16 is first brought into engagement with the convex engagement element 52 via the rear grip element 58 and the elastic element 56 inserted therein, as indicated in FIG. 1 by the mounting direction M1.
  • the intervention is initially loose, since the rear grip element 58 and the engagement element 52 are not fixed directly to each other perpendicular to the working axis 12.
  • the lower end of the handle housing 16 facing away from the working axis 12 is swiveled around the first connection 50 along the mounting direction M2 to the main housing 4, the passage openings 44 of the second elastic elements 40 held in the handle-side recesses 42 in alignment with the main housing-side recesses 30 come.
  • an elastic seal 66 is provided to seal the housing interior against the outside.
  • the motor cover 22 is then placed in the mounting direction M3 on the housing opening 24, as shown in particular in Fig. 5.
  • the latch 46 is pushed through the handle-side recesses 42 and the second elastic elements 40, whereby the handle-side recesses 42 are positively connected to the main housing-side recesses 30 by means of the bolt 46 with the interposition of the respective second elastic member 40.
  • the rear grip element 58 is held perpendicular to the working axis 12 so close to the engagement element 52, that it can not be pivoted past this.
  • a securing of the engagement on the first connection 50 perpendicular to the working axis 12 takes place.
