Abstract
The invention relates to an electrical, pistol-like handheld tool. The handheld tool includes a tool body for electrically activated machining of a workpiece, a grip part connected to the tool body at an angle thereto, an actuation device for manually activating and/or deactivating the handheld tool, which actuation device is arranged on the tool body or the grip part, and an unlocking device for manually unlocking and/or locking the actuation device. The unlocking device is arranged on the tool body or the grip part such that unlocking is effected by the handheld tool being supported in stable equilibrium on one of the fingers of a user's hand when the grip part is gripped by a user.
Claims15
An electrical, pistol-like handheld tool (10), comprising:
- a tool body (12) for electrically activated machining of a workpiece,
- a grip part (16) connected at an angle to the tool body (12),
- an actuating device (26) for manually activating and/or deactivating the handheld tool (10), which actuating device (26) is arranged on the tool body (12) or the grip part (16), and
- an unlocking device (28) for manually unlocking and/or locking the actuating device (26), wherein the unlocking device (28) is arranged on the tool body (12) or the grip part (16) such that unlocking is effected by supporting the handheld tool (10) in a stable equilibrium on one of the fingers of a user's hand when a user grips the grip part (16), and further comprising
- a support mandrel (30) which projects forward from the finger grip area (32) of the grip part (16) and includes the unlocking device (28) on its underside, with unlocking being effected by supporting the support mandrel (30) on one of the fingers of the user's hand.
An electrical, pistol-like handheld tool (10), comprising:
- a tool body (12) for electrically activated machining of a workpiece,
- a grip part (16) connected at an angle to the tool body (12),
- an actuating device (26) for manually activating and/or deactivating the handheld tool (10), which actuating device (26) is arranged on the tool body (12) or the grip part (16), and
- an unlocking device (28) for manually unlocking and/or locking the actuating device (26), wherein the unlocking device (28) is arranged on the tool body (12) or the grip part (16) such that unlocking is effected by supporting the handheld tool (10) in a stable equilibrium on one of the fingers of a user's hand when a user grips the grip part (16), wherein the unlocking device (28) comprises a mechanical unlocking mechanism (50), which mechanically unlocks the actuating device (26) by a supporting force against gravity along a grip axis (B) of the grip part (16) by one of the fingers of the user's hand, and wherein the mechanical unlocking mechanism (50) includes an unlocking rocker (56), which is held in a locking position by a return spring (60) connected to its first end (58), with the second end (62) of the unlocking rocker (58) blocking actuation of the actuating device (26).
