Abstract
A device for limiting the depth of a cut, which is to be used in portable machine tools, includes at least one cut-depth guide unit, and at least one stop unit that has at least one stop element. The stop element has, for the purpose of limiting the depth of a cut, a movement potential relative to the cut-depth guide unit along a cut-depth guide track of the cut-depth guide unit. The cut-depth limiting device further includes at least one stop movement unit which is configured to allow the stop element a further movement potential relative to the cut-depth guide unit, at least one of along and about an axis of movement, at least when in a state of operation.
Claims10
A cut-depth limiting device for portable power tools, comprising:
- at least one cut-depth guide unit defining a cut-depth guide path;
- at least one cut-depth guide element mounted on the at least one cut-depth guide unit to be movable along the cut-depth guide path;
- at least one stop movement unit mounted on the at least one cut-depth guide element to be movable relative to the at least one cut-depth guide element by at least one of translation along and rotation about a movement axis;
- and
- at least one stop unit including at least one stop element mounted on the at least one stop movement unit such that:
- movement of the at least one cut-depth guide element along the cut-depth guide path enables a first movement of a position of the at least one stop element relative to the at least one cut-depth guide unit;
- and
- movement of the at least one stop movement unit relative to the at least one cut-depth guide element enables a second movement of the position of the at least one stop element relative to the at least one cut-depth guide unit independent from the first movement;
- a position of the at least one stop element relative to the at least one cut-depth guide unit defining a limit for a depth of cut of a portable power tool.
