Abstract

A hand-held power tool includes a drive unit actuatable via at least one manual switch, a control unit at least for controlling the drive unit, the control unit having a control-unit housing. The power tool further includes at least one user interface having at least one operating element, and a housing that at least partially accommodates the control unit and the user interface. The hand-held power tool also includes a positioning device, the user interface being supported on the control-unit housing by use of the positioning device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hand-held power tool comprising:
a drive unit configured to be actuated by at least one manual switch;
a control unit configured to control at least the drive unit, the control unit having a control-unit housing;
at least one user interface comprising at least one operating element;
a housing at least partially accommodating the control unit and the at least one user interface; and
a positioning device that supports the at least one user interface on the control-unit housing, wherein:
the positioning device has at least one delimiting element;
the control unit comprises a control-unit circuit board that bears against the at least one delimiting element; and
the at least one delimiting element is configured to locate the control-unit circuit board relative to the at least one user interface.

2. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning device has at least one positioning element configured to locate the at least one user interface so as to at least partially overlap the control unit.

3. The hand-held power tool according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one positioning element engages at least partially in the at least one user interface.

4. The hand-held power tool according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one user-interface has a user-interface circuit board defining at least one through-opening, and the at least one positioning element is configured to extend through the at least one through-opening.

5. The hand-held power tool according to claim 3 , wherein the user interface has at least one carrier element comprising at least one receiving element, and the at least one positioning element engages in the at least one receiving element of the at least one carrier element.

6. The hand-held power tool according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one positioning element includes a pin.

7. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning device includes at least one positioning element that at least partially encompasses the at least one user interface.

8. The hand-held power tool according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one positioning element includes an at least partially circumferential frame.

9. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning device has at least one support element against which the user interface bears, and the at least one support element is configured to divert occurring operating forces into the housing.

10. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning device has a further positioning element configured to center the at least one user interface relative to a housing opening, the at least one user interface having a connection element configured to receive the further positioning element.

11. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the control-unit housing forms the positioning device.

12. The hand-held power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one user interface is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the control unit.
