Auxiliary handle with eccentric clamping lever for a hand-held power tool
The invention relates to an additional hand grip ( 2 ) for a hand machine tool, comprising a clamp ( 4 ) for clamping the additional hand grip ( 2 ) to a part of the hand machine tool, a handlebar ( 6 ) for gripping and holding of the additional hand grip ( 2 ), and a pivot joint ( 8 ) that can be blocked, arranged between the clamp ( 4 ) and the handlebar ( 6 ). The pivot joint ( 8 ) can be blocked with an eccentric tension lever ( 10 ), which is formed by a pivotable part ( 24 ) of the handlebar ( 6 ).
1. An auxiliary handle for a hand-held power tool, comprising a clamp fixedly clamping the auxiliary handle to a part of a machine tool, a handlebar gripping and holding the auxiliary handle, and including a yoke part ( 20 ) located opposite to a blockable pivot joint ( 8 ) and two leg parts ( 22 , 24 ) that connect the yoke part ( 20 ) with the pivot joint ( 8 ), a swivelable eccentric clamping lever ( 10 ) blocking the pivot point ( 8 ), wherein one of the two leg parts ( 24 ) is swivelable and formed entirely by the swivelable eccentric clamping lever and wherein the rotation axes of the blockable pivot joint and the swivelable eccentric clamping lever are perpendicular to each other.
2. The auxiliary handle as recited in claim 1 , wherein the pivot joint ( 8 ) includes at least one articulated part ( 38 ) that is non-rotatably connected with the clamp ( 4 ), and at least one articulated part ( 36 , 40 ) that is non-rotatably connected with the handlebar ( 6 ), which are rotatable relative to each other around a pivot axis ( 12 ) of the pivot joint ( 8 ) in order to displace the handlebar ( 6 ), and which may be pressed against each other to block the pivot joint ( 8 ) by swiveling the eccentric clamping lever ( 10 ) in the axial direction of the pivot axis ( 12 ).
3. The auxiliary handle as recited in claim 2 , wherein the articulated parts ( 36 , 40 ; 38 ), which may be pressed against each other, include diametrically opposed tooth systems ( 42 ) on their facing contact surfaces, which engage in each other when the pivot joint ( 8 ) is blocked, thereby preventing the articulated parts ( 36 , 40 ; 38 ) from rotating relative to each other.
4. The auxiliary handle as recited in claim 3 , wherein only one pair of diametrically opposed tooth systems ( 42 ) is provided.
5. The auxiliary handle as recited in claim 1 , wherein the eccentric clamping lever ( 10 ) is engaged with the yoke part ( 20 ) in a form-fit manner when the pivot joint ( 8 ) is blocked.
6. The auxiliary handle as recited in claim 1 , wherein the eccentric clamping lever ( 10 ) is provided with a projection ( 54 ) on its free end, which engages in a recess ( 56 ) of the yoke part ( 20 ) when the pivot joint ( 8 ) is blocked.
7. The auxiliary handle as recited in claim 1 , wherein the eccentric clamping lever ( 10 ) includes a fork-shaped end.
8. The auxiliary handle as recited in claim 2 , wherein the eccentric clamping lever ( 10 ) is hingedly connected to a clamping bolt ( 28 ) that extends along a pivot axis ( 12 ) of the pivot joint ( 8 ) through openings in the articulated parts ( 36 , 38 , 40 ) and pulls the articulated parts ( 36 , 38 , 40 ) together when the eccentric clamping lever ( 10 ) is swiveled, in order to block the pivot joint ( 8 ).
9. The auxiliary handle as recited in claim 8 , wherein the clamping bolt ( 28 ) is connected with the handlebar ( 6 ) such that it is non-rotatable relative to the pivot axis ( 12 ) of the pivot joint ( 8 ).
10. The auxiliary handle as recited in claim 2 , wherein the eccentric clamping lever ( 10 ) is swivelable around a rotation axis located near the pivot axis ( 12 ) and is provided with a pressing surface ( 50 ) that is eccentric to its rotational axis, which may be pressed against one of the articulated parts ( 40 ) by swiveling the eccentric clamping lever ( 10 ).
11. The auxiliary handle as recited in claim 1 , further comprising means ( 58 ; 60 , 62 , 64 ) for changing the effective length of the clamping bolt ( 28 ) to compensate for production tolerances of the part of the hand-held power tool that serves to attach the clamp ( 4 ).
12. An auxiliary handle for a hand-held power tool, comprising a clamp having a central axis ( 14 ) and fixedly clamping the auxiliary handle to a part of a machine tool, a handlebar gripping and holding the auxiliary handle, and including a yoke part ( 20 ) located opposite to a blockable pivot joint ( 8 ) and two leg parts ( 22 , 24 ) that connect the yoke part ( 20 ) with the pivot joint ( 8 ), a swivelable eccentric clamping lever ( 10 ), blocking the pivot point wherein one of the two leg parts ( 24 ) is swivelable and formed entirely by the swivelable eccentric clamping lever and wherein the rotation axes of the blockable pivot joint and the swivelable eccentric clamping lever are perpendicular to each other one of the two leg parts ( 24 ), wherein the handlebar ( 6 ) is rotatable about a pivot axis ( 2 ) which is different from the central axis ( 14 ).
