Abstract

The claimed invention relates to an engine powered portable tool comprising a working tool placed on a working tool carrier clamped to a tool casing ( 10 ). In order to increase the strength in the section where the working tool carrier is clamped to the tool casing ( 10 ) is the working tool carrier clamped to a protruding part ( 20 ) of the crankcase ( 12 ) provided with a component ( 16 ) embedded in the crankcase ( 12 ) wall when the crankcase ( 12 ) is casted. The component ( 16 ) is made of a material with higher E-module than the material in the rest of the crankcase ( 12 ).

Claims (8)

1. Engine powered portable tool comprising a working tool placed on a working tool carrier clamped to a tool casing ( 10 ) comprising at least a crankcase ( 12 ) characterized in that the working tool carrier is clamped to abut a non-embedded section ( 18 ) of a component ( 16 ) embedded in the crankcase ( 12 ) wall when the crankcase ( 12 ) is casted, said component ( 16 ) is made of a material with higher E-module than the material in the rest of the crankcase ( 12 ).

2. Engine powered portable tool according to claim 1 , characterized in that the component ( 16 ) is shaped so that it is a part of the crankcase ( 12 ) and extend between the crankcase ( 12 ) and the section where the working tool carrier is clamped to the tool casing ( 10 ).

3. Engine powered portable tool according to claim 1 , characterized in that the component ( 16 ) is made of aluminum, magnesium or some type of metal composition.

4. Engine powered portable tool according to claim 1 , characterized in that the crankcase ( 12 ) is made of a plastic material or a material with low density.

5. Engine powered portable tool according to claim 1 , characterized in that a protruding part ( 20 ) of the component ( 16 ) is provided with a surface ( 11 ) that the work tool carrier is clamped to.

6. Engine powered portable tool according to claim 5 , characterized in that the section ( 18 ) is a part of or the entire surface ( 11 ) that the working tool carrier aligns.

7. Engine powered portable tool according to claim 5 , characterized in that the working tool carrier is clamped to the tool casing ( 10 ) by one or more bolts ( 15 ) secured in the component ( 16 ) or thereto and by related nuts.

8. Engine powered portable tool according to claim 1 , characterized in that the component ( 16 ) is placed in such a way in the crankcase ( 12 ) that at least one of the screws that keep the different parts of the crankcase ( 12 ) together also extend through the component ( 16 ).
