Abstract

A hand-held tool system includes at least one mobile sensor device. The mobile sensor device has at least one base unit and at least one communication unit. The communication unit is configured to communicate with the hand-held power tool. The hand-held tool system further includes at least one function device configured to be detachably connected to the mobile sensor device such that a functionality of the mobile sensor device is expanded.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hand-held tool system comprising:
a mobile sensor device having at least one base unit and at least one communication unit configured to communicate with a hand-held power tool; and
at least one function device configured to be detachably connected to the mobile sensor device, the at least one function device including at least one fastening unit that includes an arm-band configured to fasten the mobile sensor device around an arm of the operator, the arm including a wrist, of an operator, the fastening unit further comprising:
a first receiving region configured to at least partly encompass the mobile sensor device to enable the detachable connection of the mobile sensor device to the at least one function device, the first receiving region being in a portion of the arm-band configured to position the mobile sensor device on a first side of the arm of the operator wearing the arm-band; and
a second receiving region in another portion of the arm-band that is separate and spaced apart from the first receiving region, the second receiving region being configured to at least partly encompass a sensor unit that is coupled to the mobile sensor device to provide expanded functionality to the mobile sensor device, the sensor unit detachably connected to the fastening unit by the second receiving region the second receiving region being configured to position the sensor unit on a second side of the arm of the operator wearing the arm-band, wherein the first receiving region on the first side of the arm is opposite the second receiving region on the second side of the arm.

2. The hand-held tool system according to claim 1 , wherein the first receiving region is configured as a housing unit configured to accommodate the mobile sensor device.

3. The hand-held tool system according to claim 1 , wherein the first receiving region includes an at least partly elastic member defining a cavity configured to receive the mobile sensor device.
