Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hand-held power tool includes a tool holder for holding a tool on a working axis, a pneumatic striking mechanism for striking the tool, and an absorber, which includes a bending spring, situated transversely to the working axis, and a mass body. A countershaft is driven by the motor around a rotation axis which runs in parallel to the working axis. A wobble drive for driving the pneumatic striking mechanism is situated on the countershaft. In addition, a cam disk is situated on the countershaft and includes a cam which projects in a start-up direction which runs in parallel to the working axis. The bending spring includes a counterpiece provided relative to the cam. The cam, which abuts the counterpiece, pretensions the bending spring in the start-up direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A handheld power tool comprising: a tool holder for holding a tool on a working axis; a motor; a pneumatic striking mechanism for striking the tool; an absorber including a bending spring situated transversely to the working axis and a mass body; a countershaft driven by the motor around a rotation axis running in parallel to the working axis; a wobble drive situated on the countershaft for driving the pneumatic striking mechanism; a cam disk situated on the countershaft, the cam disk including a cam projecting in a start-up direction and running in parallel to the working axis; and a counterpiece to the cam provided on the bending spring, the cam pretensioning the bending spring in the start-up direction adjacent to the counterpiece. 2. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the cam disk is contact-free with respect to the bending spring when the cam and the counterpiece are in a diametrical angular position with respect to the rotation axis. 3. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the cam disk is contact-free with respect to the bending spring for at least 75% of one rotation around the rotation axis. 4. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the mass body is guided by the bending spring on a curved path. 5. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 further comprising a power tool housing and wherein the bending spring is fastened to the power tool housing by a first end and is fastened to the mass body on a second end, the first end and the second end being situated diametrically to the countershaft. 6. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 5 wherein the counterpiece of the cam is at a distance from the first end corresponding to between 30% and 50% of the distance between the first end and the second end. 7. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein a maximum forced deflection of the bending spring from an idle position due to the cam abutting the counterpiece is between 1 degree and 5 degrees. 8. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the cam has a helical edge facing the bending spring, the helical edge ascending in the start-up direction over a central angle between 30 degrees and 90 degrees. 9. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the counterpiece has a helical edge facing the cam, the helical edge ascending counter to the start-up direction over a central angle between 30 degrees and 90 degrees. 10. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein a pneumatic chamber of the striking mechanism achieves maximum compression at an angular position of the countershaft, the cam being situated in the angular position of the countershaft and, in an arrangement of the cam on a side of the bending spring facing away from the tool, lies in the angular position as the counterpiece with respect to the rotation axis, or the cam being situated in the angular position and, in an arrangement of the cam on a side of the bending spring facing the tool, lies diametrically to the counterpiece with respect to the rotation axis. 11. The handheld power tool as recited in claim 1 wherein the wobble drive is in a dead center facing away from the tool in a first angular position of the countershaft, and the cam is in an angular position deflecting the bending spring to a maximum extent in a second angular position, and in an arrangement of the cam on the side of the bending spring facing away from the tool, the second angular position follows the first angular position between 95 degrees and 115 degrees, and in an arrangement of the cam on the side of the bending spring facing the tool, the first angular position follows the second angular position between 65 degrees and 85 degrees.
