Abstract

A hand-held power tool is proposed, having a drive device for driving a tool, which is arranged in a housing of the power tool. A handle of the power tool, which is movably connected to the housing of the power tool, is vibration-damped by a movable compensating element. For this purpose, the movable compensating element is operatively connected to the handle and/or the housing of the power tool by a deflecting system.

Claims (21)

1. A handheld power tool, having at least one drive device, disposed in a power tool housing, for driving a tool, and having at least one handle which is vibration-damped via at least one movable compensating means disposed in the power tool housing and/or in the handle and embodied as a movably supported counterweight, the movable compensating means being operatively connected to the handle and to the power tool housing via a deflection system.

2. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 1 , wherein at least one degree of freedom of the movable compensating means extends essentially in a main axis of vibration of the power tool housing.

3. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 2 ,

wherein the deflection system has two lever arms rotatably connected to one another, and a reactive force caused by the drive device and/or the tool acts on a first lever arm of said two lever arms.

4. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 3 , wherein a second lever arm of the lever arms acts on the movable compensating means.

5. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 1 ,

wherein the deflection system has two lever arms rotatably connected to one another, and a reactive force caused by the drive device and/or the tool acts on a first lever arm of said two lever arms.

6. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 5 , wherein a second lever arm of the lever arms acts on the movable compensating means.

7. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 1 , wherein the deflection system is constructed of two lever arms, and a first lever arm, connected solidly, preferably rigidly, to the handle and reaching through an engagement opening in the power tool housing, engages a rotatable engagement point of a second lever arm at a spacing from a rotary bearing point connected solidly, preferably rigidly, to the power tool housing.

8. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 7 , wherein the second lever arm is connected solidly, preferably rigidly, to the movable compensating means and is preferably embodied in one piece with the movable compensating means.

9. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 7 , wherein the second lever arm is connected rotatably to a third lever arm at a spacing from the rotatable engagement point, and the third lever arm acts on the movable compensating means.

10. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 9 , wherein the third lever arm is connected solidly, preferably rigidly, to the movable compensating means and is preferably embodied in one piece with the movable compensating means.

11. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 1 , wherein the deflection system is constructed of two lever arms, and a first lever arm, connected solidly, preferably rigidly, to the power tool housing and reaching through a leadthrough opening in the handle, engages a rotatable engagement point of a second lever arm at a spacing from a rotary bearing point connected solidly, preferably rigidly, to the handle.

12. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 11 , wherein the second lever arm is connected solidly, preferably rigidly, to the movable compensating means and is preferably embodied in one piece with the movable compensating means.

13. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 11 , wherein the second lever arm is connected rotatably to a third lever arm at a spacing from the rotatable engagement point, and the third lever arm acts on the movable compensating means.

14. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 13 , wherein the third lever arm is connected solidly, preferably rigidly, to the movable compensating means and is preferably embodied in one piece with the movable compensating means.

15. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 1 , wherein the deflection system has at least one thrust-pivot gear mechanism.

16. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 1 , wherein the deflection system has at least one cable pull device.

17. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 1 , wherein the deflection system includes at least one pressure hull system.

18. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 1 , wherein at least one and preferably two restoring elements are provided, which upon a deflection of the movable compensating means out of a position of repose exert a restoring force on the movable compensating means.

19. The handheld power tool as defined by claim 1 , wherein at least one and preferably two damping elements are provided, which upon a deflection of the movable compensating means out of a position of repose act in damping fashion upon the motion of the movable compensating means.
