Abstract

A tool-handling device for an insert tool( 14 ) equipped with an at least essentially disk-shaped hub ( 42 ), in particular for a hand guided angle grinder ( 32 ) or a hand-guided circular saw, having a drive shaft ( 16 ) and a drive device ( 12 ) equipped with at least one locking element( 20 ) that is supported so that it is able to move in relation to a spring element ( 18 ) in order to fix the insert tool ( 14 ) in a form-locked manner in the circumference direction ( 50, 52 ). The drive shaft ( 16 ) has at least one form-locking element ( 100 ) formed onto it in a non-cutting manner in order to connect it in a form-locked manner in the circumference direction ( 50, 52 ) to a drive torque-transmitting mechanism of the drive device ( 12 ).

Claims (12)

1. A tool-holding device for an insert tool ( 14 ) equipped with an at least essentially disk-shaped hub ( 42 ), for a hand-guided angle grinder ( 32 ) or a hand-guided circular saw, having a drive shaft ( 16 ) and a drive device ( 12 ) equipped with at least one locking element ( 20 ), wherein the locking element ( 20 ) is supported so that the locking element ( 20 ) is able to move in relation to a spring element ( 18 ) in order to fix the insert tool ( 14 ) in a form-locked manner in the circumference direction ( 50 , 52 ), wherein the drive shaft ( 16 ) has at least one form-locking element ( 100 ) formed onto the drive shaft ( 16 ) in a non-cutting manner in order to connect the drive shaft ( 16 ) in a form-locked manner in the circumference direction ( 50 , 52 ) to a drive torque-transmitting mechanism of the drive device ( 12 ), wherein the mechanism of the drive device ( 12 ) is comprised of a drive flange ( 10 ) that constitutes a contact surface ( 30 ) of the insert tool ( 14 ), wherein the contact surface ( 30 ) is oriented opposite with respect to a machine tool side of the drive flange ( 10 ), and is provided with arc-shaped grooves ( 66 ) for self-cleaning purposes and wherein the mechanism of the drive device ( 12 ) is supported on the drive shaft ( 16 ) by means of a spacer element ( 108 ).

2. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the form-locking element ( 100 ) is formed onto the drive shaft ( 16 ) by means of a pressing procedure.

3. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the form-locking element ( 100 ) has a longitudinal span ( 102 ) in the axial direction ( 64 ) of the drive shaft ( 16 ) that is greater than its height ( 104 ).

4. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the drive shaft ( 16 ) has at least three form-locking elements ( 100 ).

5. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the inner circumference of the mechanism of the drive device ( 12 ) has at least one continuous axial groove that constitutes a form-locking element ( 106 ).

6. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the mechanism of the drive device ( 12 ) is comprised of a sintered part.

7. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spacer element ( 108 ) is comprised of a sleeve.

8. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the drive device ( 12 ) includes a leaf spring unit ( 58 ) that has a freely extending spring piece ( 110 ) that extends at least partially in the circumference direction ( 50 , 52 ) and the leaf spring unit ( 58 ) is able to fix the insert tool ( 14 ) in the axial direction ( 64 ) by means of a spring force.

9. An angle grinder equipped with a tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 .

10. A hand-guided circular saw equipped with a tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 .

11. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spacer element ( 108 ) covers a manufacture-induced transition ( 132 ) between a region at the free end of the drive shaft ( 16 ) and a region adjoining the free end of the drive shaft ( 16 ).

12. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 11 , wherein said region at the free end of the drive shaft ( 16 ) is characterized by the form-locking element ( 100 ) and said region adjoining the free end of the drive shaft ( 16 ) is axial to the form-locking element ( 100 ).
