Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerät für ein motorisch antreibbares Schraubgerät nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a screw magazine attachment for a motor-driven screwdriver according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein mit einem solchen Vorsatzgerät ausgestattetes Schraubgerät kann man zum aufeinanderfolgenden Einschrauben einer Vielzahl von Schrauben in ein Werkstück verwenden, ohne dass jedes Mal die nächste Schraube ergriffen und bis zum Ansetzen des Schraubendreherwerkzeugs von Hand gehalten werden muss.A screwdriver equipped with such an attachment can be used for successively screwing a plurality of screws into a workpiece without having to grasp the next screw each time and hold it by hand until the screwdriver tool is attached.

Das Schraubenmagazin wird üblicherweise von einem am Schlittenteil eingehängten, quer zur Einschraubrichtung schrittweise vorbewegbaren Magazingurt gebildet, in den eine Reihe von in Querrichtung aufeinanderfolgenden Schrauben eingesetzt ist, die nacheinander in eine dem Schraubendreherwerkzeug gegenüberliegende Lage gebracht und beim Vorbewegen des Schraubgeräts relativ zum am Werkzeug abgestützten Schlittenteil vom Schraubendreherwerkzeug aus dem Magazingurt gedrückt werden und dann eingeschraubt werden können.The screw magazine is usually formed by a mounted on the slide part, transversely to the screw gradually advancing Magazingurt in which a series of transverse successive screws is inserted, which successively placed in a screwdriver tool opposite position and the advancing of the screwing relative to the tool-supported slide member be pressed by the screwdriver tool from the magazine strap and then screwed.

Bei herkömmlichen Vorsatzgeräten besteht die Gefahr, dass das mit dem Abtriebsteil des Schraubgerätes zusammengesteckte, eine beträchtliche Länge aufweisende Schraubendreherwerkzeug nicht genau axial ausgerichtet sondern etwas geneigt verläuft, so dass auf die jeweilige Schraube eine Kraftkomponente in Querrichtung ausgeübt und die Schraube daher ungenau und schräg eingeschraubt wird. Es kann sogar sein, dass das Schraubendreherwerkzeug die von ihm aus dem Magazingurt zu drückende Schraube nicht trifft, so dass mit dem Einschraubvorgang neu begonnen werden muss.In conventional attachments there is a risk that the mated with the driven part of the screwdriver, a considerable length screwdriver tool not exactly aligned axially but slightly inclined, so that exerted on the respective screw a force component in the transverse direction and the screw is therefore screwed inaccurate and oblique , It may even be that the screwdriver tool releases it from the magazine strap too pressing screw does not hit, so that with the screwing must be restarted.

Ein Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerät für ein motorisch antreibbares Schraubgerät nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 geht beispielsweise aus US 5,284,074 hervor.A screw magazine attachment for a motor-driven screwdriver according to the preamble of claim 1 is for example US 5,284,074 out.

Ausgehend hiervon liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerät der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem das an das Abtriebsteil angesteckte Schraubendreherwerkzeug dauerhaft genau axial ausgerichtet ist.Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to provide a screw magazine attachment of the type mentioned, in which the infected to the driven part screwdriver tool is permanently aligned exactly axially.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerät für ein motorisch antreibbares Schraubgerät gemäß der technischen Lehre des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a screw magazine attachment for a motor driven screwdriver according to the technical teaching of claim 1.

Auf diese Weise liegt eine Zweipunktführung für das Schraubendreherwerkzeug vor, so dass dieses unabhängig von dem zwischen ihm und der Steckaufnahme des Abtriebsteils vorhandenen Steckspiel mit Bezug auf das sich am Werkstück abstützende Schlittenteil und die jeweilige Schraube ausgerichtet ist und bleibt, so dass sich ein ungestörter, genauer Einschraubvorgang ergibt.In this way, there is a two-point guide for the screwdriver tool, so that this is independent of the existing between him and the plug receptacle of the stripping section plug-in game with respect to the workpiece supporting the slide member and the respective screw is aligned and remains, so that an undisturbed, exact screwing results.

Die Führungseinrichtung ist so ausgestaltet, dass das Schraubendreherwerkzeug in jeder Stellung des Schlittenteils bezüglich des Grundkörpers an mindestens zwei oder vorzugsweise mehreren Führungsaugen geführt ist. Das Schlittenteil ist bezüglich des Grundkörpers zwischen einer Einschraubstellung, bei der das Schraubendreherwerkzeug in Eingriff mit der zu schraubenden Schraube, sofern das Schraubenmagazin eine solche enthält, und einer Weiterschaltstellung verschiebbar. In der Weiterschaltstellung ist das Schraubendreherwerkzeug von der jeweiligen Schraube entfernt bzw. so weit vom Schraubenmagazin entfernt, dass eine Weiterschaltung des Schraubenmagazins möglich ist. Zumindest in den beiden vorgenannten Stellungen, der Weiterschaltstellung und der Schraubstellung, ist das Schraubendreherwerkzeug an mindestens zwei, vorzugsweise allen Führungsaugen geführt. Somit hat das Schraubendreherwerkzeug stets eine optimale Führung an dem Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerät, auch wenn beispielsweise das Schraubgerät von dem Vorsatzgerät entfernt ist.The guide device is designed so that the screwdriver tool is guided in each position of the carriage part with respect to the body on at least two or preferably a plurality of guide eyes. The slide member is relative to the body between a screw-in, in which the screwdriver tool in engagement with the screw to be screwed, if the screw magazine contains such, and an indexing position displaced. In the indexing position is the screwdriver tool of removed the respective screw or so far away from the screw magazine that a continuation of the screw magazine is possible. At least in the two aforementioned positions, the indexing position and the screw position, the screwdriver tool is guided on at least two, preferably all guide eyes. Thus, the screwdriver tool always has optimum guidance on the screw magazine attachment, even if, for example, the screwdriver is removed from the attachment.

Das Schraubendreherwerkzeug ist zweckmäßigerweise als ein Bit großer Länge ausgestaltet.The screwdriver tool is expediently designed as a bit of great length.

Das Schraubendreherwerkzeug ist beispielsweise von einer Rückseite des Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerätes her in die Führungseinrichtung einsteckbar. Dadurch ist das Auswechseln des jeweiligen Schraubendreherwerkzeugs besonders einfach.The screwdriver tool can be inserted, for example, from a rear side of the screw magazine attachment into the guide device. As a result, the replacement of the respective screwdriver tool is particularly simple.

Das Schlittenteil ist so ausgestaltet, dass es von dem Schraubendreherwerkzeug durchgriffen werden kann. Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, daß das Schraubendreherwerkzeug nicht nur das Schlittenteil, sondern auch den Grundkörper insoweit durchgreift, dass es zumindest in der Einschraubstellung, die zum Schrauben der jeweils dem Schraubendreherwerkzeug gegenüber liegenden Schraube des Schraubenmagazins vorgesehen ist, vor eine Vorderseitenfläche des Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerätes, beispielsweise eine Vorderwand, die der Schraube zugewandt ist, und eine hintere Seite bzw. Rückseitenfläche des Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerätes vorsteht, so dass ein Drehmitnahme-Eingriff mit dem Abtriebsteil möglich ist. Somit steht also das Schraubendreherwerkzeug sozusagen vorn und hinten vor eine Vorderseitenfläche und eine Rückseitenfläche des Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerätes vor.The slide member is designed so that it can be penetrated by the screwdriver tool. Furthermore, it is provided that the screwdriver tool not only the slide member, but also the base penetrates to the extent that it is at least in the screwed, which is provided for screwing each of the screwdriver tool opposite screw of the screw magazine, in front of a front surface of the screw magazine attachment, for example a front wall facing the screw and projecting a rear side surface of the screw magazine attachment, so that rotational drive engagement with the driven part is possible. Thus, therefore, the screwdriver tool, so to speak, front and rear in front of a front side surface and a rear side surface of the screw magazine attachment.

Ein Drehmitnahmebereich des Schraubendreherwerkzeugs steht für einen Drehmitnahmeeingriff mit dem Abtriebsteil nach hinten vor eine am Schraubgerät montierten Zustand dem Schraubgerät zugewandte Rückseitenfläche, beispielsweise eine Bodenwand des Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerätes, insbesondere des Grundkörpers, vor. Das Schraubendreherwerkzeug ist dazu in unmittelbarem Drehmitnahmeeingriff mit dem Schraubgerät. Ein Wellenstück zwischen dem Abtriebsteil und dem Schraubendreherwerkzeug ist nicht nötig.A rotational drive range of the screwdriver tool is for a rotational drive engagement with the driven part to the rear in front of a mounted on the screwdriver state the screwdriver facing back surface, such as a bottom wall of the screw magazine attachment, in particular of the body ago. The screwdriver tool is in direct rotational engagement with the screwdriver. A shaft between the driven part and the screwdriver tool is not necessary.

Die Bodenwand hat beispielsweise eine Durchtrittsausnehmung für den Durchtritt des Schraubendreherwerkzeugs. Vorzugsweise ist die Bodenwand an einer Befestigungspartie des Vorsatzgerätes angeordnet.The bottom wall has, for example, a passage opening for the passage of the screwdriver tool. Preferably, the bottom wall is arranged on a fastening part of the attachment.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform des Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerätes sieht vor, dass es eine Befestigungspartie zum Anstecken, beispielsweise Aufstecken, an das Schraubgerät aufweist. Die Befestigungspartie ist beispielsweise innenseitig zylindrisch. Die Befestigungspartie hat vorzugsweise eine Steckaufnahme, in die ein Befestigungsteil des Schraubgeräts einsteckbar ist. Das Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerät ist damit einfach an dem Schraubgerät befestigbar. Es versteht sich, dass in einer alternativen Ausführungsform das Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerät auch einen Steckvorsprung aufweisen kann, der in eine korrespondierende Steckaufnahme an dem Schraubgerät einsteckbar ist.A particularly advantageous embodiment of the screw magazine attachment provides that it has a fastening section for attachment, for example, plugging, to the screwdriver. The attachment section is, for example, cylindrical on the inside. The attachment part preferably has a plug-in receptacle into which a fastening part of the screwdriver can be inserted. The screw magazine attachment is so easy to attach to the screwdriver. It is understood that in an alternative embodiment the screw magazine attachment can also have a plug-in projection which can be inserted into a corresponding plug-in receptacle on the screwdriver.

An der Befestigungspartie können beispielsweise Rastmittel oder sonstige Fixiermittel vorgesehen sein, um das Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerät an dem Schraubgerät zu befestigen. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht jedoch vor, dass zwischen dem Schraubendreherwerkzeug und dem Schraubgerät wirkende Rastmittel für eine Rastverbindung vorgesehen sind, so dass das Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerät durch diese Rastverbindung mit beispielsweise dem Abtriebsteil des Schraubgeräts verbindbar ist. Vorzugsweise ist ausschließlich eine Verrastung des Schraubendreherwerkzeugs mit dem Abtriebsteil vorgesehen. Durch beispielsweise ein kräftiges Ziehen am Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerät und/oder am Schraubendreherwerkzeug lässt sich die vorgenannte Verrastung lösen.For example, latching means or other fixing means may be provided on the fastening part in order to fasten the screw magazine attachment to the screwing device. A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, provides that between the screwdriver tool and the screwdriver acting latching means are provided for a latching connection, so that the screw magazine attachment by this latching connection with, for example, the output part of the screwdriver is connectable. Preferably, only a locking of the screwdriver tool is provided with the output part. For example, by a strong pulling the screw magazine attachment and / or on the screwdriver tool can solve the aforementioned locking.

Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Nachstehend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung erläutert. Es zeigen:

Figur 1
ein erfindungsgemäßes Vorsatzgerät in seinem Ausgangszustand vor einem Einschraubvorgang im schematischen Längsschnitt und
Figur 2
das Vorsatzgerät nach Figur 1 in seiner Endposition nach dem Einschraubvorgang.
An embodiment of the invention will be explained with reference to the drawing. Show it:
FIG. 1
an inventive attachment in its initial state before a screwing in the schematic longitudinal section and
FIG. 2
the attachment after FIG. 1 in its final position after the screwing.

Das aus der Zeichnung hervorgehende Schraubenmagazin-Vorsatzgerät 1 ist an ein motorisch antreibbares Schraubgerät 2 angebaut, von dem nur das vordere Ende seines Getriebegehäuses 3 und das beim Betrieb um eine Rotationsachslinie 5 rotierende Abtriebsteil 4 dargestellt sind. Das Schraubgerät 2 ist ein Handgerät und kann ein Akkuschrauber oder ein netzbetriebener Schrauber sein. Das Getriebegehäuse 3 bildet einen stirnseitig angeordneten Befestigungshals 6, auf dem eine zumindest innenseitig entsprechend zylindrische Befestigungspartie 7 des Vorsatzgerätes 1 fixiert wird.The screw magazine attachment 1 resulting from the drawing is attached to a motor-drivable screwdriver 2, of which only the front end of its gear housing 3 and the rotating during operation about a Rotationsachslinie 5 driven part 4 are shown. The screwdriver 2 is a handheld device and may be a cordless screwdriver or a mains powered screwdriver. The gear housing 3 forms a frontally arranged mounting neck 6, on which an at least inside correspondingly cylindrical mounting portion 7 of the attachment 1 is fixed.

Das Abtriebsteil 4 bildet eine Steckaufnahme 8 für ein Schraubendreherwerkzeug 9, das sich im angesteckten Zustand in axialer Richtung nach vorne vom Gerät 2 weg erstreckt. Das Schraubendreherwerkzeug 9 weist eine beträchtliche Länge auf und wird von einem stabartigen Werkzeugschaft 10 mit einem vorderen Schraubendreher-Endbereich 11 und einem hinteren Steck- und Drehmitnahmebereich 12 gebildet.The output part 4 forms a plug-in receptacle 8 for a screwdriver tool 9, which extends in the infected state in the axial direction forward from the device 2 away. The screwdriver tool 9 has a considerable length and is formed by a rod-like tool shank 10 with a front screwdriver end portion 11 and a rear plug and rotary engagement portion 12.

Der Steck- und Drehmitnahmebereich 12 ist zumindest über einen Teil seiner Länge als Mehrkant, beispielsweise als Sechskant ausgebildet. Die Steckaufnahme 8 ist zumindest über einen Teil ihrer Länge entsprechend mehrkantig, so dass das Schraubendreherwerkzeug im zusammengesteckten Zustand in Drehmitnahmeeingriff mit dem Abtriebsteil 4 steht.The plug-in and rotational engagement portion 12 is formed at least over part of its length as a polygon, for example as a hexagon. The plug-in receptacle 8 is correspondingly polygonal over at least part of its length, so that the screwdriver tool in the assembled state is in rotational engagement with the driven part 4.

Beim zweckmäßigen Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Steckaufnahme 8 von einer in axialer Richtung im Abtriebsteil 4 verlaufenden Steckausnehmung 13 gebildet. Dementsprechend wird der Steck- und Drehmitnahmebereich 12 des Werkzeugs 9 in die Steckausnehmung 13 eingesteckt. Die Anordnung könnte prinzipiell jedoch auch umgekehrt so getroffen sein, dass das Schraubendreherwerkzeug drehfest auf das Abtriebsteil 4 aufgesteckt werden kann.In the expedient embodiment, the plug-in receptacle 8 is formed by a plug-in recess 13 extending in the axial direction in the stripping section 4. Accordingly, the plug-in and rotational driving portion 12 of the tool 9 is inserted into the plug-in recess 13. In principle, however, the arrangement could also be reversed in such a way that the screwdriver tool can be attached in a rotationally fixed manner to the output part 4.

Am Abtriebsteil 4 ist im Bereich der Steckausnehmung 13 mindestens eine Rastkugel 14 gelagert, die beim Einstecken des Werkzeugs 9 zum Eingriff in eine Umfangsnut 15 des Steck- und Drehmitnahmebereichs 12 gelangt, so dass das Werkzeug 9 in axialer Richtung festgelegt wird. Durch kräftiges Ziehen am Werkzeug 9 lässt sich die Verrastung lösen und das Werkzeug herausziehen. Das Schraubendreherwerkzeug 9 stellt sozusagen ein Bit großer Länge dar.At the output part 4, at least one detent ball 14 is mounted in the region of the plug-in recess 13, which engages upon insertion of the tool 9 for engagement in a circumferential groove 15 of the plug-in and rotary drive region 12, so that the tool 9 is fixed in the axial direction. By pulling hard on the tool 9, the catch can be solved and pull out the tool. The screwdriver tool 9 represents, so to speak, a bit of great length.

Das Vorsatzgerät 1 weist einen länglichen, sich im am Schraubgerät 2 befestigten Zustand von diesem weg erstreckenden Grundkörper 16 auf, mit dem das Vorsatzgerät 1 am Schraubgerät 2 lösbar befestigt wird. Hierzu bildet der Grundkörper 16 an seinem hinteren Ende die auf den Befestigungshals 6 aufgesteckte und dort fixierte zylindrische Befestigungspartie 7. Die zylindrische Befestigungspartie 7 endet an einer Bodenwand 17 des Grundkörpers 16, die eine zentrale Durchtrittsausnehmung 18 für den Durchtritt des Schraubendreherwerkzeugs 9 aufweist.The attachment 1 has an elongated, attached in the screwdriver 2 state of this away extending base body 16, with which the attachment 1 is releasably secured to the screwdriver 2. For this purpose, the base body 16 forms at its rear end the plugged on the mounting neck 6 and fixed there cylindrical mounting portion 7. The cylindrical mounting portion 7 terminates at a bottom wall 17 of the base body 16, which has a central Durchtrittsausnehmung 18 for the passage of the screwdriver tool 9.

Das Vorsatzgerät 1 enthält ferner ein Schlittenteil 19, das in axialer Richtung hin und her verschiebbar am Grundkörper 16 geführt ist. Hierzu sind am Grundkörper 16 Längsführungsbahnen 20 angeordnet, denen entlang das Schlittenteil 19 verschoben werden kann. Der Grundkörper 16 kann gehäuseartig ausgebildet und das Schlittenteil 19 in seinem Inneren angeordnet sein, soweit das Schlittenteil 19 nicht über den Grundkörper 16 vorsteht.The attachment 1 further includes a slide member 19 which is guided in the axial direction back and forth on the base body 16 slidably. For this purpose 16 longitudinal guide tracks 20 are arranged on the base body, which along the slide member 19 can be moved. The base body 16 may be formed like a box and the slide member 19 may be arranged in its interior, as far as the slide member 19 does not project beyond the base body 16.

Das Schlittenteil 19 weist einen nach vorne in Richtung vom Schraubgerät 2 weg vorstehenden Anschlagkörper 21 mit einem Abstützanschlag 22 auf, der im Anwendungsfall an die Stelle eines Werkstücks 23 angelegt wird, an der eine Schraube 24 in das Werkstück 23 eingeschraubt werden soll. Es versteht sich, dass der Abstützanschlag 22 das Einschrauben nicht behindern darf und daher eine entsprechende Lochung 28 oder dergleichen Aussparung aufweist.The slide member 19 has a forwardly in the direction of the screwdriver 2 projecting abutment body 21 with a support stop 22 which is applied in the application to the location of a workpiece 23 to which a screw 24 is to be screwed into the workpiece 23. It goes without saying that the support stop 22 must not hinder the screwing and therefore has a corresponding hole 28 or the like recess.

Das Schlittenteil 19 ist in Einschraubrichtung, d.h. in axialer Richtung nach vorne, im Anwendungsfalle zum Werkstück 23 hin federbelastet. Hierzu ist zweckmäßigerweise eine Schraubenfeder 25 vorhanden, die vom Schraubendreherwerkzeug 9 durchgriffen wird und sich mit ihrem rückwärtigen Ende 26 am Grundkörper 16, zweckmäßigerweise an dessen Bodenwand 17, und mit ihrem vorderen Ende 27 am Schlittenteil 19 abstützt.The slide member 19 is in the screwing, i. in the axial direction forward, spring-loaded in the application case to the workpiece 23. For this purpose, a coil spring 25 is suitably provided, which is penetrated by the screwdriver tool 9 and is supported with its rear end 26 on the base body 16, suitably on the bottom wall 17, and with its front end 27 on the slide member 19.

Dem Vorsatzgerät 1 ist ein Schraubenmagazin 29 zugeordnet, das von einem am Schlittenteil 19 lösbar einzuhängenden Magazingurt 30 gebildet wird, der sich quer zur Einschraubrichtung erstreckt und in Querrichtung aufeinanderfolgende Halterungen zum Halten jeweils einer Schraube 24 aufweist. Der Magazingurt 30 kann mittels einer nicht dargestellten Takteinrichtung schrittweise quer zur Einschraubrichtung vorbewegt werden, so dass die Schrauben nacheinander in eine dem Schraubendreherwerkzeug 9 in axialer Richtung gegenüberliegende Lage gebracht werden können. In Figur 1 ist diese Situation dargestellt, in der eine der Schrauben vor dem Schraubendreherwerkzeug 9 angeordnet ist.The attachment 1 is associated with a screw magazine 29, which is formed by a displaceable on the slide member 19 Magazingurt 30 which extends transversely to the screwing and in the transverse direction of successive brackets for holding a respective screw 24. The magazine belt 30 can be advanced stepwise transversely to the screwing-in direction by means of a clock device, not shown, so that the screws can be successively brought into a screwdriver tool 9 in the opposite axial position. In FIG. 1 this situation is shown, in which one of the screws is arranged in front of the screwdriver tool 9.

Das Schlittenteil 19 ist so ausgebildet, dass es vom Werkzeug 9 durchgriffen werden kann.The slide member 19 is formed so that it can be penetrated by the tool 9.

Zum Einschrauben der jeweiligen Schraube 24 wird das Vorsatzgerät 1 mit dem Abstützanschlag 22 des Schlittenteils 19 an das Werkstück 23 angesetzt. Sodann drückt man das Schraubgerät 2 und somit den Grundkörper 26 des Vorsatzgerätes 1 entgegen der Kraft der Schraubenfeder 25 nach vorne, so dass das Werkzeug 9 mit seinem Schraubendreher-Endbereich 11 in Eingriff mit dem Kopf 31 der betreffenden Schraube 24 gelangt und die Schraube aus dem Magazingurt 30 und dann gegen das Werkstück 23 drückt, so dass die Schraube bei eingeschaltetem Schraubgerät 2 eingeschraubt wird (Figur 2). Bei diesem Einschraubvorgang bleibt das Schlittenteil 19 aufgrund der Anlage des Abstützanschlags 22 am Werkstück 23 stehen und taucht weiter in den Grundkörper 16 ein.To screw the respective screw 24, the attachment 1 is attached to the support stop 22 of the slide member 19 to the workpiece 23. Then presses the screwdriver 2 and thus the base body 26 of the attachment 1 against the force of the coil spring 25 forward, so that the tool 9 with its screwdriver end portion 11 into engagement with the head 31 of the screw 24 in question and presses the screw from the magazine belt 30 and then against the workpiece 23, so that the screw is screwed in with screwdriver 2 ( FIG. 2 ). In this screwing the slide member 19 remains due to the abutment of the Abstützanschlags 22 on the workpiece 23 and further immersed in the body 16 a.

Nach dem Einschrauben nimmt der Benutzer das Schraubgerät 2 mit dem Vorsatzgerät 1 von dem Werkstück weg. Das Schlittenteil 19 wird dabei durch die Schraubenfeder 25 wieder nach vorne aus dem Grundkörper 16 gedrückt. Nach dem Weiterschalten des Magazingurts 30 ergibt sich dann wieder die aus Figur 1 hervorgehende Situation.After screwing the user takes the screwdriver 2 with the attachment 1 away from the workpiece. The slide member 19 is pressed by the coil spring 25 back to the front of the main body 16. After advancing the magazine belt 30 results then again from FIG. 1 resulting situation.

Das Schlittenteil 19, an dem der Magazingurt 30 eingehängt ist und weitergeschaltet wird, und der Grundkörper 16 sind an den für den Durchlauf des Schraubenmagazins 29 erforderlichen Stellen offen, beispielsweise geschlitzt.The carriage part 19, on which the magazine belt 30 is suspended and is switched further, and the base body 16 are open at the locations required for the passage of the screw magazine 29, for example, slotted.

Das Schraubendreherwerkzeug 9 sollte beim Ansetzen an die jeweilige Schraube 24 und beim Einschraubvorgang möglichst exakt axial ausgerichtet sein. Hierzu ist am Schlittenteil 19 eine Führungseinrichtung zum Führen des Schraubendreherwerkzeugs 9 angeordnet, so dass das Werkzeug 9 stets seine Ausrichtung mit Bezug auf das Schlittenteil 19 beibehält.The screwdriver tool 9 should be aligned as accurately as possible during attachment to the respective screw 24 and during the screwing. For this purpose, a guide means for guiding the screwdriver tool 9 is arranged on the slide member 19, so that the tool 9 always maintains its orientation with respect to the slide member 19.

Die Führungseinrichtung wird von zwei - prinzipiell können es auch mehr als zwei sein - in axialer Richtung mit Abstand zueinander am Schlittenteil 19 angeordneten Führungsaugen 32, 33 gebildet, so dass das Werkzeug 9 an zwei zueinander beabstandeten Stellen gelagert und geführt wird. Das Werkzeug 9 bleibt daher unverändert ausgerichtet und kann sich nicht unabsichtlich schräg stellen.The guide device is formed by two - in principle, it can be more than two - in the axial direction at a distance from each other on the slide member 19 arranged guide eyes 32, 33, so that the tool 9 is mounted and guided at two spaced locations. The tool 9 therefore remains unchanged and can not be unintentionally inclined.

Die beiden Führungsaugen 32, 33 weisen jeweils eine am Schraubendreherwerkzeug 9 anliegende Führungshülse 34, 35 auf. Die Führungshülsen 34, 35 sind jeweils in einer feststehend am Schlittenteil 19 angeordneten Lagerhülse 36, 37 gelagert. Dabei können die Führungshülsen 34, 35 jeweils einen flanschartig nach radial außen abstehenden Ringbund 38, 39 aufweisen, der in eine entsprechende Ringnut 40, 41 am Innenumfang der betreffenden Lagerhülse 36, 37 eingreift, so dass eine formschlüssige Verbindung hergestellt wird.The two guide eyes 32, 33 each have a voltage applied to the screwdriver tool 9 guide sleeve 34, 35. The guide sleeves 34, 35 are each mounted in a fixedly arranged on the slide member 19 bearing sleeve 36, 37. In this case, the guide sleeves 34, 35 each have a flange radially outwardly projecting annular collar 38, 39, which engages in a corresponding annular groove 40, 41 on the inner circumference of the bearing sleeve 36, 37, so that a positive connection is made.

Aus der Zeichnung geht ferner hervor, dass der Ringbund 38 bzw. 39 am dem jeweils anderen Führungsauge 33 bzw. 32 zugewandten Ende der betreffenden Führungshülse 34 bzw. 35 angeordnet ist.From the drawing also shows that the annular collar 38 and 39 on the other guide eye 33 and 32 facing the end of the respective guide sleeve 34 and 35 is arranged.

Eine weitere zweckmäßige Maßnahme besteht darin, dass das Schlittenteil 19 an seiner der Schraubenfeder 25 zugewandten Seite einen im Durchmesser verjüngten, in axialer Richtung nach hinten hin abstehenden Fortsatz 42 aufweist, auf dem der zugewandte Bereich der Schraubenfeder 25 gelagert ist. An dem Fortsatz 42 ist ferner das hintere Führungsauge 32 angeordnet.Another expedient measure is that the slide member 19 has on its side facing the coil spring 25 has a diameter-tapered, projecting in the axial direction rearward projection 42 on which the facing portion of the coil spring 25 is mounted. At the extension 42, the rear guide eye 32 is further arranged.

Auf diese Weise erhält man unter gleichzeitiger Lagerung der Schraubenfeder 25 einen möglichst großen Abstand zwischen den beiden Führungsaugen 32, 33.In this way, the largest possible distance between the two guide eyes 32, 33 is obtained with simultaneous storage of the helical spring 25.
