Abstract

A handheld power tool has a handle ( 17 ), a machine housing ( 8 ), in which a drive ( 4 ) oscillating along a working axis ( 5 ) is situated, and a suspension, which has a first carrier connected to the machine housing ( 8 ) and a second carrier connected to the handle ( 17 ). A first mating surface of the first carrier facing the machine housing ( 8 ) engages behind a second mating surface of the second carrier facing the handle ( 17 ). In a basic position, the first mating surface is in contact with the second mating surface under the action of force applied by at least one spring element acting parallel to the working axis ( 5 ). The first carrier is displaceable with respect to the second carrier out of the basic position and into a working position along the working axis ( 5 ) against the at least one spring element such that, in the working position, an air gap separates the first mating surface from the second mating surface.

Claims (17)

1 - 9 . (canceled)

10 . A handheld power tool, comprising:

a handle;

a machine housing;

a drive disposed within the machine housing and oscillatable along a working axis; and

a suspension which has a first carrier connected to the machine housing and a second carrier connected to the handle;

wherein a first mating surface of the first carrier facing the machine housing is engageable with a second mating surface of the second carrier facing the handle;

wherein in a basic position, the first mating surface engages the second mating surface by a force applied by a spring element acting parallel to the working axis;

and wherein in a working position, the first mating surface does not engage the second mating surface such that an air gap separates the first mating surface from the second mating surface.

11 . The handheld power tool according to claim 10 , wherein the first carrier has a contact surface which faces the handle and the second carrier has a contact surface that faces the machine housing, wherein the spring element is disposed between the respective contact surfaces, and wherein in the working position the first carrier and the second carrier are coupled only via the spring element.

12 . The handheld power tool according to claim 10 , wherein the first mating surface and the second mating surface are inclined at an angle of at least 70 degrees to the working axis.

13 . The handheld power tool according to claim 11 , wherein the respective contact surfaces are inclined at an angle of at least 70 degrees to the working axis.

14 . The handheld power tool according to claim 10 , wherein the spring element contains a damping cushion made of an elastic plastic.

15 . The handheld power tool according to claim 10 , wherein the spring element is prestressed in the basic position.

16 . The handheld power tool according to claim 10 , further comprising a second suspension, wherein the handle is connected to the machine housing via the second suspension at a distance in a direction which is perpendicular to the working axis, and wherein the second suspension connects the handle to the machine housing via a second spring element.

17 . The handheld power tool according to claim 10 , further comprising a second suspension, wherein the handle is connected to the machine housing via the second suspension at a distance in a direction which is perpendicular to the working axis, and wherein surfaces of the second carrier which point in the direction to the second suspension are adjacent to a cavity.

18 . The handheld power tool according to claim 10 , wherein a one of the first mating surface and the second mating surface has a lug extending along the working axis and an other of the first mating surface and the second mating surface is supported in the basic position by the lug in a form-fitting manner in a direction perpendicular to the working axis, and wherein in the working position the other of the first mating surface and the second mating surface is at a distance from the lug along the working axis.
