Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hand-held power tool has a tool holder for holding a tool, an electric motor for driving the tool holder, and a handle for holding and guiding the hand-held power tool. A button has a button housing, a pin that can be moved on an actuation axis, and an electric slider which is connected to the pin and which slides on an electric slider track. The button housing is suspended in the handle in such a way that the button housing can be pivoted about a pivot axis perpendicular to the actuation axis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A hand-held power tool, comprising: a tool holder; an electric motor, wherein the tool holder is drivable by the electric motor; a handle for holding and guiding the hand-held power tool; and a button for switching on the electric motor, wherein the button has a button housing and a pin that is movable on an actuation axis, wherein the pin is connected to a slider that is movable towards an electric slider track, wherein the button housing is suspended in the handle such that the button housing pivots about a pivot axis that is perpendicular to the actuation axis, wherein the button housing has two opposing cylindrical burls which are disposed in corresponding indentations of the handle, and wherein the pivot axis is defined by the two cylindrical burls. 2. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 further comprising a button cover, wherein the button cover is disposed inclined to the pin and is fastened on the handle via a pivot joint and wherein an axis of rotation of the pivot joint is parallel and offset to the pivot axis. 3. The hand-held power tool according to claim 2 , wherein the button cover is rotatably connected to the pin. 4. The hand-held power tool according to claim 2 , wherein the button cover covers the pin. 5. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the pivot axis and the actuation axis are in one plane. 6. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 further comprising a button cover, wherein the button cover is mounted on the handle such that the button cover is movable parallel to the actuation axis and is disposed on the pin.
