Abstract
The invention relates to a handle arrangement for a machine component which vibrates in the operating state thereof, with a connecting part for connecting to the machine component and with a handle which is coupled to the connecting part, wherein the handle is assigned an elongate handle section with a hand engagement point and wherein the handle has a damping mass element, the mass center of gravity of which is arranged such that a decrease in vibration in the hand engagement point is achieved.
Claims17
A handle arrangement for a machine component which vibrates in the operating state thereof, comprising:
- a connecting part configured to connect to the machine component;
- a handle, comprising an elongate handle section, an engagement point, and a damping mass element, wherein:
- the handle is coupled to the connecting part,
- the handle section, in an inoperative state, is oriented coaxially with respect to a geometrical handle axis,
- the handle is configured to introduce actuating forces acting perpendicularly to the handle axis,
- the handle is mounted on the connecting part so as to be deflectable about a geometrical pivot point substantially transversely with respect to the handle axis,
- wherein the geometrical pivot point lies between a mass center of gravity of the damping mass element and the hand engagement point.
