Claims5
A side handle (2) for a hand-held power tool (4), comprising:
- a handle holder (10);
- an attachment device (6) for securing the side handle (2) on the power tool (4);
- and
- a decoupling device (8) positioned between the handle holder (10) and the attachment device (6) for connecting the handle holder (10) with the attachment device (6) through the decoupling device (8), wherein the decoupling device (8) responds to vibrations of the power tool (4) to permit swinging movement and displacement of the handle holder (10) independent of the attachment device (6), and for stably guiding the handle holder (10) relative to the attachment device (6), the decoupling device (8) having a one-piece four-sided spring member (16) formed from a bent leaf spring (18) and having opposite walls (30) that form two swinging elements spaced from each other and deflectable parallel to each other to permit the swinging movement and displacement of the handle holder (10).
