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).
Claims4
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.
