Abstract

The invention is based on a device having a centering element ( 10 ) and at least one form-locking element ( 12 ) for fastening an axially mountable tool ( 14 ) to a drive shaft ( 16 ), which is drivable in an oscillating manner, of a hand-held power tool ( 28 ) in which the centering element ( 10 ) is provided for centering the tool ( 14 ) relative to the drive shaft ( 16 ), and the form-locking element ( 12 ) is provided for defining a rotary position of the tool ( 14 ) relative to the drive shaft ( 16 ). It is proposed that the form-locking element ( 12 ) is located radially outside the centering element ( 10 ).

Claims (20)

1. A device, comprising:

a centering element;

a spring element;

a fastening screw;

a bearing flange with a circular bearing face; and

at least one form-locking element for fastening an axially mountable tool to a drive shaft of a hand-held power tool comprising a chamfer;

wherein said tool is drivable in an oscillating fashion,

wherein said centering element is provided for centering said tool relative to said drive shaft,

wherein said form-locking element is provided for defining a rotary position of said tool relative to said drive shaft,

wherein said form-locking element is located radially outside said centering element,

wherein more than eight form-locking elements, each of which form-locking elements including a chamfer, are arranged,

wherein a radius associated with one position of said form-locking elements is four times as large as a radius of said centering element,

wherein said form-locking elements are located on said bearing flange,

wherein said form-locking elements are distributed uniformly over an angular range that is defined by the entire circumference of said circular bearing face of said bearing flange,

wherein said form-locking elements have a trapezoidal cross section, which is perpendicular to an axis of the drive shaft ( 16 ),

wherein said fastening screw is provided with said spring element acting as a contact-pressure flange, and

wherein in a mounted state the spring element automatically deflects said tool past each chamfer of each of said more than eight form-locking elements into a rotary position in which said tool can be fixed by tightening said fastening screw.

2. The device as recited in claim 1 , wherein twelve form-locking elements are arranged.

3. The device as recited in claim 2 , wherein said twelve form-locking elements are intended to be operable with tools having a triple symmetry and a quadruple symmetry.

4. The device as recited in claim 1 , wherein said spring element is embodied as a cup spring.
