Abstract

An adapter ( 9 ) for a motor-driven machine tool with a tool to be rotatably driven has positive-fit counterpart pieces ( 10 ) on one face ( 16 ) which are adapted to positive-fit elements ( 3 ) of the tool shaft ( 1 ). Multiple axially protruding mandrels ( 11 ) are arranged along the circumference on the opposite face ( 13 ).

Claims (40)

1. An adapter for a motor-driven machine tool which includes a rotatably driveable tool, the machine tool including a driveable tool shaft ( 1 ), the end face of which is designed as a locating flange ( 2 ) having at least one form-fit element ( 3 ) for receiving and fastening the tool ( 5 ), wherein the adapter (a) includes, on an end face ( 16 ), form-fit counter elements ( 10 ) which are matched to the form-fit elements ( 3 ) of the tool shaft ( 1 ), and wherein a plurality of axially projecting mandrels ( 11 ) is distributed around the circumference on the opposite end face ( 13 ) of the adapter ( 9 ).

2. The adapter as recited in claim 1 ,

wherein

the mandrels ( 11 ) are designed as single pieces with the adapter ( 9 ).

3. The adapter as recited in claim 1 ,

wherein

the adapter ( 9 ) is annular in design and includes a central recess ( 12 ).

4. The adapter as recited in claim 3 ,

wherein

a connector ( 14 ) which abuts the central recess ( 12 ) is provided in the annular adapter ( 9 ) and extends axially past the end face ( 13 ) on which the mandrels ( 11 ) are situated.

5. The adapter as recited in claim 4 ,

wherein

the mandrels ( 11 ) have a shorter axial extension than does the connector ( 14 ).

6. The adapter as recited in claim 1 ,

wherein

the mandrels ( 11 ) include—relative to the end face plane—an annular recess ( 17 ) which is set back axially and encloses the mandrel ( 11 ).

7. The adapter as recited in claim 6 ,

wherein,

in the axial direction, the recess ( 17 ) has an axial extension that is shorter than the axial extension of the mandrels ( 11 ).

8. The adapter as recited in claim 7 ,

wherein

the axial depth of the recess ( 17 ) is half as great as the axial extension of the mandrels ( 11 ).

9. The adapter recited in claim 1 ,

wherein

the mandrels ( 11 ) are conical in design.

10. The adapter recited in claim 1 ,

wherein

a plurality of mandrels ( 11 ) is located one after the other in the radial direction.

11. The adapter recited in claim 1 ,

wherein

a plurality of mandrels ( 11 ) is located, in each case, between two adjacent form-fit counter elements ( 10 ) in the adapter ( 9 ).

12. The adapter recited in claim 1 ,

wherein

the form-fit counter elements ( 10 ) in the adapter ( 9 ) are designed as recesses ( 10 ).

13. The adapter as recited in claim 12 ,

wherein

the recesses ( 10 ) are elongated in the radial direction.

14. The adapter as recited in claim 1 ,

wherein

the adapter ( 9 ) is composed of a magnetic material.
