Abstract

A hand power tool, in particular a drill hammer, percussion drill or percussion screwdriver, includes a pistol grip ( 2 ), which is connected in vibration-damped fashion to the tool housing ( 1 ). The pistol grip ( 2 ) is supported on the tool housing ( 1 ) pivotably about a shaft ( 5 ), and the shaft ( 5 ) extends transversely to the primary direction of vibration ( 3 ) of the hand power tool. At least one spring element ( 10 ), which acts in the direction of vibration, is located between the tool housing ( 1 ) and the pistol grip ( 2 ).

Claims (11)

1. A hand power tool, comprising a tool housing; a pivot shaft extending transversely to a primary direction of vibration of the hand power tool; a pistol grip connected in vibration-damped fashion to said tool housing and supported on said tool housing pivotally about said pivot shaft; and at least one spring element acting in a direction of vibration of the hand power tool and located between said tool housing and said pistol grip, wherein said pistol grip has exclusively one connecting portion for coupling the pistol grip with the tool housing, wherein the connection portion comprises exclusively one continuously closed interface area lying inside the tool housing, and one end portion, wherein said end portion is spaced freely from the tool housing.

2. A hand power tool as defined in claim 1 , wherein said pivot shaft is located in a lower region of said tool housing and in a portion of said pistol grip which is near a grip region.

3. A hand power tool as defined in claim 1 , wherein said pivot shaft is located in an upper region of said tool housing and in a portion of said pistol grip which is remote from said grip region.

4. A hand power tool as defined in claim 1 , wherein said at least one spring element is an element selected from the group consisting of a tension spring, a compression spring, and an elastic body.

5. A hand power tool as defined in claim 1 , further comprising means for adjusting a prestressing of said at least one spring element.

6. A hand power tool as defined in claim 1 , wherein said pivot shaft is elastically supported.

7. A hand power tool as defined in claim 1 , wherein the hand power tool is a tool selected from the group consisting of a drill hammer, a percussion drill, and a percussion screwdriver.

8. A hand power tool as defined in claim 1 , wherein said pivot shaft is arranged at the connection portion of the pistol grip and the pivot shaft is arranged distanced from the end portion of the pistol grip.

9. A hand power tool as defined in claim 1 , wherein said end portion of the pistol grip comprises the grip region.

10. A hand power tool as defined in claim 1 , wherein said pistol grip comprises a housing covering at least partially the tool housing.

11. A hand power tool as defined in claim 1 , wherein said tool housing has a radial inward-extending collar and said pistol grip has a radial outward-extending collar, wherein said radial outward-extending collar engages the tool housing behind the radial inward-extending collar.
