Abstract

The invention discloses a hand-held tool having a housing with a gear head, having a motor shaft that can be driven in rotation by a motor and that can be coupled, by means of an eccentric coupling mechanism, to a tool spindle in order to drive the latter, wherein the tool spindle can be driven in an oscillatory rotating manner about the longitudinal axis thereof and is configured to receive a tool, wherein the eccentric coupling mechanism has a coupling member which is coupled to the motor shaft and to the tool spindle, and wherein the coupling member is furthermore mounted pivotably on a carrier element coupled to the housing. The carrier element is preferably capable of being moved in translation or pivoted relative to the housing.

Claims

1. A hand-held tool comprising;

a housing;

a gear head received within said housing;

a motor received within said housing and having a motor shaft that is rotatingly driven by said motor;

a tool spindle received within said housing substantially perpendicularly to said motor shaft and having one end protruding from said gear head for receiving a tool;

a carrier element received on said housing;

an eccentric coupling mechanism received within said housing, said eccentric coupling mechanism being coupled to said motor shaft and to said tool spindle for driving said tool spindle in an oscillatory rotating manner about a longitudinal axis thereof, said eccentric coupling mechanism comprising a coupling member being configured as a lever and being mounted pivotably on said carrier element, said coupling member being coupled to said motor shaft and to said tool spindle; and

a mass balancing arrangement being coupled to said eccentric coupling mechanism and being configured to impart to said eccentric coupling mechanism a balancing motion opposed to an oscillatory rotary output motion of said tool spindle.

2. The hand-held tool of claim 1, wherein said coupling member comprises two lever sections between which there is provided a bearing location for supporting said coupling member on said carrier element.

3. The hand-held tool of claim 1, wherein said coupling member is configured as a double fork comprising contact surfaces cooperating with said motor shaft for converting a driving motion produced by said motor shaft into an oscillatory rotary output motion of said tool spindle.

4. The hand-held tool of claim 1, further comprising an actuating element being coupled to said carrier element for moving said carrier element relative to said housing.

5. The hand-held tool of claim 4, wherein said carrier element is configured for translational or pivoting movement relative to said housing.

6. The hand-held tool of claim 1, wherein said tool spindle further comprises a side arm being configured for driving said mass balancing arrangement.

7. The hand-held tool of claim 1, wherein said mass balancing arrangement comprises a balancing mass being mounted on a bearing piece that can be moved in translation or pivoted relative to said housing.

8. The hand-held tool of any of claim 7, wherein said balancing mass is arranged pivotably about an axis being arranged substantially perpendicular to said motor shaft.

9. The hand-held tool of claim 1, further comprising a convex bearing being coupled to said coupling member and at least said motor shaft or said tool spindle.

10. The hand-held tool of claim 1, wherein said mass balancing arrangement comprises a mass accumulation on said coupling member.

11. The hand-held tool of claim 1, wherein said tool spindle comprises a side arm being configured as a driver fork and being coupled to a bearing mounted on a tool-facing end of said coupling member.

12. A hand-held tool comprising;

a housing;

a gear head received within said housing;

a motor received within said housing and having a motor shaft that is rotatingly driven by said motor;

a tool spindle received within said housing and having one end protruding from said gear head for receiving a tool;

13. The hand-held tool of claim 12, wherein said coupling member comprises two lever sections between which there is provided a bearing location for supporting said coupling member on said carrier element.

14. The hand-held tool of claim 12, wherein said coupling member is configured as a double fork comprising contact surfaces cooperating with said motor shaft for converting a driving motion produced by said motor shaft into an oscillatory rotary output motion of said tool spindle.

15. The hand-held tool of claim 12, further comprising a convex bearing being coupled to said coupling member and at least said motor shaft or said tool spindle.

16. The hand-held tool of claim 12, wherein said coupling member is arranged pivotably about an axis which is arranged substantially parallel to said motor shaft.

17. The hand-held tool of claim 12, wherein said coupling member is arranged pivotably about an axis which is arranged substantially perpendicular to said motor shaft.

18. The hand-held tool of claim 12, wherein said tool spindle comprises a side arm being configured as a driver fork and being coupled to a bearing mounted on a tool-facing end of said coupling member.

19. A hand-held tool comprising;
