Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hand-held processing tool with a housing that includes at least two housing parts is disclosed. The housing parts each have a side edge which are directly adjacent to one another in the assembled state of the housing. A recess is provided in at least one partial region of the side edges of at least one of the two housing parts such that the side edges of the at least two housing parts are spaced apart from one another in the at least one partial region.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A hand-held processing tool comprising a housing that includes at least two housing parts, wherein: the at least two housing parts include two half shells, the two half shells each have a side edge which, in an assembled state of the housing, are directly adjacent to one another, and a recess is provided in at least one partial region of the side edges of at least one of the two half shells in such a way that the side edges of the two half shells are spaced apart from one another in the at least one partial region. 2 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one partial region is a deformation region which is configured to deform elastically during operation of the hand-held processing tool. 3 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is at least partially filled with a soft component. 4 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is formed at least partially as a tongue-and-groove system in which a first of the two half shells has a tongue in the at least one partial region and a second of the two half shells has a groove complementary to the tongue in such a way that tongue and groove overlap and are spaced apart from one another in the assembled state of the housing. 5 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 1 , wherein at least one screw connection of the two half shells in the vicinity of the at least one partial region is tightened with a lower torque in relation to the screw connection of the two half shells away from the at least one partial region. 6 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the two half shells are each partially designed as handle shells which form a handle that is configured to guide the processing tool. 7 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the hand-held processing tool is designed as a drill hammer. 8 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is at least partially filled with an elastomer. 9 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is completely filled with an elastomer. 10 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is formed completely as a tongue-and-groove system in which a first of the two half shells has a tongue in the at least one partial region and a second of the two half shells has a groove complementary to the tongue in such a way that tongue and groove overlap and are spaced apart from one another in the assembled state of the housing. 11 . A hand-held processing tool comprising a housing that includes at least two housing parts, wherein: the at least two housing parts each have a side edge which, in an assembled state of the housing, are directly adjacent to one another, a recess is provided in at least one partial region of the side edges of at least one of the two housing parts in such a way that the side edges of the at least two housing parts are spaced apart from one another in the at least one partial region, a first housing part of the at least two housing parts has a plurality of screw boss and at least one second housing part of the at least two housing parts has a corresponding plurality of screw sockets for a screw connection of the at least two housing parts, and in the assembled state of the housing, at least one screw boss and a corresponding screw socket have a defined clearance in the vicinity of the at least one partial region. 12 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 11 , wherein a soft component is arranged between the at least one screw boss and the corresponding screw socket in the vicinity of the at least one partial region. 13 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 11 , wherein the at least two housing parts of the housing are designed as half shells. 14 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 11 , wherein an elastomer is arranged between the at least one screw boss and the corresponding screw socket in the vicinity of the at least one partial region. 15 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one partial region is a deformation region which is configured to deform elastically during operation of the hand-held processing tool. 16 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 11 , wherein the recess is at least partially filled with a soft component. 17 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 11 , wherein the recess is formed at least partially as a tongue-and-groove system in which a first of the at least two housing parts has a tongue in the at least one partial region and a second of the at least two housing parts has a groove complementary thereto in such a way that tongue and groove overlap and are spaced apart from one another in the assembled state of the housing. 18 . A hand-held processing tool comprising a housing that includes at least two housing parts, wherein: the at least two housing parts each have a side edge which, in an assembled state of the housing, are directly adjacent to one another, a recess is provided in at least one partial region of the side edges of at least one of the two housing parts in such a way that the side edges of the at least two housing parts are spaced apart from one another in the at least one partial region, a first housing part of the at least two housing parts has at least one latching hook in the vicinity of the at least one partial region, and at least one second housing part of the at least two housing parts has a rear engagement corresponding to the at least one latching part, and the at least one latching hook and the rear engagement have a defined clearance in the assembled state of the housing. 19 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 18 , wherein the at least one partial region is a deformation region which is configured to deform elastically during operation of the hand-held processing tool. 20 . The hand-held processing tool according to claim 18 , wherein the recess is at least partially filled with a soft component.
