Abstract

A tool-holding device for an insert tool ( 14 ) equipped with an at least essentially disk-shaped hub ( 42 ), in particular for a hand-guided angle grinder ( 32 ) or a hand-guided circular saw, having a drive device ( 12 ) that includes a leaf spring unit ( 58 ) and is able to clamp the insert tool ( 14 ) in the axial direction ( 64 ). The leaf spring unit ( 58 ) has at least one freely extending spring piece ( 110 ) that extends at least partially in the circumference direction ( 50, 52 ).

Claims (14)

1. A tool-holding device for an insert tool ( 14 ) equipped with an essentially disk-shaped hub ( 42 ), in particular for a hand-guided angle grinder ( 32 ) or a hand-guided circular saw, having a drive device ( 12 ) that includes a leaf spring unit ( 58 ) and is able to clamp the insert tool ( 14 ) in the axial direction ( 64 ), wherein the leaf spring unit ( 58 ) has at least one freely extending spring piece ( 110 ) that extends at least partially in the circumference direction ( 50 , 52 ) and wherein the leaf spring unit ( 58 ) has at least one encoding means ( 128 ) that corresponds to at least one component ( 20 , 56 ) of the drive device ( 12 ) during installation in order to prevent an incorrect installation of the leaf spring unit ( 58 ).

2. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 ,

wherein the spring piece ( 110 ) is connected to a retaining ring ( 114 ) by means of at least one connecting piece ( 112 ) extending at least essentially in the radial direction.

3. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spring piece ( 110 ) is at least partially integrally connected to a retaining ring ( 114 ).

4. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 2 , wherein the connecting piece ( 112 ) and the spring piece ( 110 ) are at least essentially T-shaped.

5. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 ,

wherein the spring piece ( 110 ) has a width ( 120 ) that decreases towards its free end ( 116 , 118 ).

6. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 ,

wherein the free end ( 116 , 118 ) of the spring piece ( 110 ) has a contact surface ( 122 , 124 ), which is comprised of flattened area, formed onto it.

7. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 ,

wherein the spring piece ( 110 ) has a thickness ( 126 ) of between 0.7 mm and 1.1 mm.

8. The tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 , characterized by means of a drive shaft ( 16 ) that has at least one form-locking element ( 100 ) formed onto it in a non-cutting manner in order to connect it in a form-locked manner in the circumference direction ( 50 , 52 ) to a drive torque-transmitting mechanism of the drive device ( 12 ).

9. An angle grinder equipped with a tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 .

10. A hand-guided circular saw equipped with a tool-holding device as recited in claim 1 .
