  • a corresponding structure has been known for many years in power hand tools, wherein the plane in which the half shells abut each other divides the machine substantially into right and left halves in the usual position of use.
  • the two half shells lie against each other along their side edges.
  • the tool holder end of the gear housing connects to the motor housing and is connected thereto. It is customary here to fix the two housings together by means of a screw connection.
  • the two housing shells of the machine housing are usually also connected to each other via screw.
  • the invention now has the task of providing an electric hand tool device with an alternative attachment of the half shells of the motor housing.
  • the object is achieved by a generic electric hand tool, wherein the two half-shells are fixed by a bracket extending in the longitudinal direction against each other.
  • the bracket engages over the mutually abutting side edges of the half-shells and connects them in particular by means of a clamping, ie non-positively, with each other.
  • a clamping ie non-positively
  • other, for example, latching, connection types are conceivable.
  • a frictional connection is preferred.
  • ribs or beads may be provided in the region of the side edges of the half-shells, which are in clamping contact with ribs or beads or the side walls of the bracket and are preferably overlapped by the latter.
  • a bracket is understood to be a flat or curved, in particular cambered material having a longitudinal extent which is much larger than its width, the height may vary over the length.
  • the bracket always has a band-like shape.
  • the half shells of the housing and the handle can also be screwed together.
  • the machine housing can be fixed to the transmission housing by means of the bracket.
  • the bracket in the connecting region between the two housings connecting elements and allows a fixation on the transmission housing such that the motor housing is placed with its half shells firmly against the corresponding edge of the gear housing and it comes to a play-free contact of the two housing parts.
  • the bracket is fixed to the transmission housing by means of a screw connection. This has the advantage that the attachment then does not have to be in one or both half shells, which are usually made of plastic, making these components are difficult to manufacture in the injection molding process, but in the manufacturing technology simply designed bracket, the more stable and preferably due to its clamping function Metal is formed.
  • bracket, the motor housing in the region of each other completely encloses adjacent side edges of the half-shells.
