Abstract

Side handle for an electrical hand-held power tool, the side handle having a gripping region designed for gripping by a user and a clamping unit by which the side handle can be detachably fastened to a tool neck of the hand-held power tool, wherein the clamping unit has an operating element by which the clamping unit can be clamped and released, wherein the clamping unit substantially contains a clamping lever, a clamping element, a counter clamping element and a connecting device, and when the clamping unit is clamped, a force flow passes through the clamping unit and the counter clamping element can be moved relative to the gripping region.

Claims (16)

1 . A side handle for an electrical hand-held power tool, the side handle comprising:

a gripping region designed for gripping by a user; and

a clamping unit, the side handle detachably fastenable via the clamping unit to a tool neck of the power tool, the clamping unit including a clamping lever for clamping and releasing the clamping unit, a clamp connected to the clamping lever, a counter clamp and a connector, the connector connected to the clamp and to the counter clamp and when the clamping unit is clamped, a force flow passes through the clamping unit and the counter clamp is moved relative to the gripping region;

the clamp including a ramp device having a first ramp and a second ramp, the first ramp having a first inclination and the second ramp having a second inclination, the first inclination being greater than the second inclination.

2 . The side handle as recited in claim 1 wherein the gripping region includes at least one guide, the counter clamp guidable through the guide in at least one direction.

3 . The side handle as recited in claim 2 wherein the guide includes a through-hole so that the counter clamp is guidable in an axial direction.

4 . The side handle as recited in claim 1 wherein the clamp is designed as a first latching sleeve.

5 . The side handle as recited in claim 1 wherein the counter clamp is designed as a counter clamp latching sleeve.

6 . The side handle as recited in claim 1 wherein the connector includes a first and a second connecting piece.

7 . The side handle as recited in claim 6 wherein the clamping unit further comprises a clamping strap, the clamping strap having a first bent end and a second bent end, the first connecting piece having a first lock, the second connecting piece having a second lock, the first bent end being hooked onto the first lock and the second bent end being hooked onto the second lock.

8 . The side handle as recited in claim 6 wherein the first and second connecting pieces each include a central through-hole and an arcuate guide arm, the arcuate guide arms abutting the tool neck.

9 . The side handle as recited in claim 8 wherein the first and second connecting pieces each have a cylindrical main body, the cylindrical main bodies each having a crown gear.

10 . The side handle as recited in claim 1 further comprising a closure element connected to the counter clamp.

11 . The side handle as recited in claim 10 wherein the clamping unit further comprises a clamping screw and a clamping nut, the clamping screw having a screw head and a thread, the closure element receiving the thread and the screw nut, the closure element sealing the lower end of the clamping unit.

12 . The side handle as recited in claim 1 wherein the side handle is a chisel hammer side handle.

13 . A chisel hammer comprising the side handle as recited in claim 1 .
