Abstract

A hand-held machine tool having a tool receiver to receive an insert tool having an external profile, the tool receiver featuring an internal receiver provided at least sectionally with an internal profile, and having a tool housing assigned a tool-change magazine having at least one tool chamber for storing the insert tool, the tool chamber being alignable with the tool receiver to allow the insert tool to be transferred from the tool chamber into the internal receiver or from the internal receiver into the tool chamber, a positioning device being provided for the circumferential alignment of the external profile when transferring the insert tool from the tool chamber into the internal receiver of the tool receiver to produce a form-locking connection between the internal profile and the external profile that at least for the most part, is free of rotational play, the positioning device has at least one magnet.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hand-held machine tool, comprising:
a tool receiver to receive an insert tool provided with an external profile, wherein the tool receiver includes an internal receiver provided at least sectionally with an internal profile;
a tool housing, which is assigned a tool-change magazine having at least one tool chamber for storing the insert tool, wherein the tool chamber is alignable with the tool receiver to allow the insert tool to be transferred from the tool chamber into the internal receiver or from the internal receiver into the tool chamber; and
a positioning device for providing circumferential alignment of the external profile when transferring the insert tool from the tool chamber into the internal receiver of the tool receiver to produce a form-locking connection between the internal profile and the external profile that at least for the most part, is free of rotational play;
wherein the positioning device includes at least one magnet to align the insert tool relative to the internal profile upon insertion of the insert tool into the internal receiver.

2. The hand-held machine tool of claim 1 , wherein the external profile of the insert tool is an external polygon and the internal profile of the internal receiver is an internal polygon.

3. The hand-held machine tool of claim 1 , wherein the internal polygon is formed at least sectionally in a sleeve-like tool-receiver section of the tool receiver, and the at least one magnet of the positioning device is disposed in the sleeve-like tool-receiver section.

4. The hand-held machine tool of claim 1 , wherein the internal polygon has a centering section.

5. The hand-held machine tool of claim 1 , wherein when the insert tool is in the at least partially inserted state, at least one radially inwardly directed magnetic surface of the at least one magnet and at least one polygon surface of the external polygon lie side by side in parallel, at least in some areas.

6. The hand-held machine tool of claim 5 , wherein the at least one magnetic surface and the at least one polygon surface of the external polygon of the insert tool are offset circumferentially by a maximum of 20° relative to each other when the polygon surface reaches the at least one magnet.

7. The hand-held machine tool of claim 5 , wherein the at least one magnetic surface and the at least one polygon surface of the external polygon of the insert tool are set apart from each other by a maximum of 2 mm.

8. The hand-held machine tool of claim 1 , wherein the positioning device has at least one further magnet which, in relation to a longitudinal central axis of the insert tool, is offset by an angle not equal to 60° or not equal to a multiple of 60° relative to the at least one magnet.

9. The hand-held machine tool of claim 1 , wherein the at least one magnet of the positioning device is formed by a permanent magnet or by a magnetized area of the sleeve-like tool-receiver section.

10. The hand-held machine tool of claim 1 , wherein the insert tool is able to be transferred out of the tool chamber into the internal receiver of the tool receiver and out of the internal receiver back into the tool chamber with the aid of a transfer mechanism, especially a push bar.

11. The hand-held machine tool of claim 10 , wherein one free end section of the push bar facing the insert tool is magnetized.

12. The hand-held machine tool of claim 1 , wherein the at least one magnet is provided to rotate the insert tool about a longitudinal central axis of the insert tool in such a way that, upon insertion of the insert tool into the internal receiver, the cross-section of the external profile of the insert tool is located completely within the internal profile of the internal receiver.
