Abstract

A handheld power tool includes at least one housing unit that has at least one housing element, at least one further housing element, and at least one housing connecting element that connects the housing element and the further housing element to one another. The handheld power tool also includes at least one electrical and/or electronic indication unit that has at least one at least partially circumferentially arranged indication element configured to indicate at least one handheld power tool characteristic variable. The indication element is formed at least partially integrally with the housing connecting element.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A handheld power tool, comprising:
at least one housing unit having at least one housing element, at least one further housing element, and at least one housing connecting element that connects the housing element and the further housing element to one another; and
at least one electrical and/or electronic indication unit that has at least one at least partially circumferentially arranged indication element configured to indicate at least one handheld power tool characteristic variable,
wherein the indication element is formed at least partially integrally with the housing connecting element.

2. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein, to connect the housing element and the further housing element, the indication element is fixable in positively locking and/or non-positively locking fashion to one or more of the housing element and the further housing element.

3. The handheld power tool according to claim 2 , wherein the indication element has at least one positive-locking projection which, to fix the housing element and the further housing element, interacts with a corresponding positive-locking projection of the one or more of the housing element and the further housing element.

4. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein, to connect the housing element and the further housing element, the indication element is fixed cohesively to one or more of the housing element and the further housing element.

5. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the indication element abuts the housing element and the further housing element on opposite sides of the indication element when viewed along a direction running at least substantially perpendicular to a connecting direction of the housing unit.

6. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the indication element is configured as an electrical and/or electronic graphic indication element.

7. The handheld power tool according to claim 6 , wherein the electrical and/or electronic graphic indication element is of at least five-line configuration.

8. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the indication element is arranged on the housing unit close to an output.

9. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the indication element extends around the housing unit over at least 25% of a maximum overall circumferential extent of the housing unit.

10. The handheld power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the indication element terminates at least substantially flush with an outer surface of the housing unit.
