Abstract
The invention discloses a tool having a work plate which has a mounting area with a mounting opening for mounting the plate on a drive shaft of a drive, preferably an oscillatory drive, the mounting opening being suitably configured for being seated on the drive shaft, wherein centering elements, projecting toward the drive shaft, are provided for centering the tool on the drive shaft.
Claims17
A tool comprising:
- a work plate having a mounting area;
- a mounting opening provided within said mounting area and being configured for releasably mounting said work plate on a drive shaft of an oscillatory drive;
- and
- a plurality of centering elements arranged around said mounting opening projecting from said work plate toward said drive shaft for centering the tool on said drive shaft;
- wherein said centering elements are configured as recesses in said mounting area, said recesses comprising centering edges that project to the outside;
- and
- wherein said centering elements are arranged on said work plate concentrically to said mounting opening and are configured for abutting against an outer surface of said drive shaft when said tool is attached to said drive shaft, thereby centering said tool on the outer surface of said drive shaft.
