1. An oscillatory driving device for a hand-held power tool, comprising:
- an input shaft defining an input shaft rotation axis;
an output shaft defining an output shaft rotation axis, the output shaft rotation axis and the input shaft rotation axis intersecting at an intersection point such that the input shaft includes a first portion on a first side of the intersection point and a second portion on a second opposite side of the intersection point; and
a gearbox unit operatively connecting the input shaft to the output shaft, the gearbox unit including;
a first eccentric element entirely disposed on the first side of the intersection point and configured to drive the output shaft in an oscillatory manner;
a second eccentric element entirely disposed on the second side of the intersection point and configured to drive the output shaft in an oscillatory manner; and
a motion convertor that operatively connects the first eccentric element and the second eccentric element to the output shaft, the motion convertor having a first connection element configured to contact the first eccentric element such that the first connection element receives only one component of a non-circular movement of the first eccentric element in a force input direction that lies perpendicular to both the input shaft rotation axis and the output shaft rotation axis.

Abstract
An oscillatory driving device for a hand-held power tool includes at least one input shaft, at least one output shaft, and at least one gearing unit. The gearing unit operatively connects the input shaft to the output shaft and includes at least one eccentric element configured to drive the output shaft in an oscillatory manner. The gearing unit includes at least one further eccentric element configured to drive the output shaft in an oscillatory manner.
