Description

State of the art

[0001] The present invention relates to a hand-held power tool with a tool housing in which a drive motor for driving a grinding or polishing tool in rotation is arranged, and with a suction hood which is designed to enclose the grinding or polishing tool at least in sections and a base body and an this pivotable pivoting element, the base body being designed to accommodate the grinding or polishing tool and the pivoting element being pivotable from a closed position into an open position for workpiece processing close to the edge to at least partially open the suction hood.

[0002] Such a handheld power tool with a suction hood is known from the prior art. This extraction hood has a base body and a pivoting element for processing the workpiece close to the edge. This is arranged outside of the base body, i.e. on an upper side of the base body or the suction hood, and can be pivoted from a closed position into an open position for at least partially opening the suction hood.

[0003] A disadvantage of this prior art is that the pivoting element of the suction hood is susceptible to external influences due to the arrangement outside of the base body. In addition, the pivoting element arranged outside of the base body can, for example, impede workpiece processing near the edge and thus make work more difficult. Disclosure of Invention

[0004] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a new hand-held power tool with a suction hood that makes it easier to process the workpiece close to the edge and is robust against external influences.

[0005] This problem is solved by a handheld power tool with a tool housing in which a drive motor for driving a grinding or polishing tool in rotation is arranged, and with a suction hood that is designed to enclose the grinding or polishing tool at least in sections and a base body and a base body attached to this having pivotable pivot element. The base body is designed to accommodate the grinding or polishing tool and the pivoting element can be pivoted from a closed position into an open position for processing a workpiece close to the edge in order to open the suction hood at least in sections. The pivoting element is arranged at least in sections within the base body.

[0006] The invention thus makes it possible to provide a new hand-held power tool with a suction hood which, by arranging the pivoting element at least in sections within the base body, makes it easier to process the workpiece close to the edge and is robust against external influences. Furthermore, such a hand-held power tool enables improved extraction of dust occurring when the workpiece is machined close to the edge.

[0007] The base body is preferably designed in a helical shape at least in sections in the circumferential direction.

[0008] The pivoting element can thus be pivoted from the closed position into the open position within the base body in a simple manner.

[0009] The base body is preferably designed to form a smooth transition to the pivoting element in the closed position of the pivoting element in a first area and to protrude beyond the pivoting element in the radial direction in a second area.

[0010] It is thus possible to safely and reliably prevent or at least reduce dust escaping from the base body in the closed position.

[0011] According to one embodiment, the pivoting element has an operating element in order to enable pivoting from its closed position into the open position.

[0012] The invention thus enables an uncomplicated and easy pivoting of the pivoting element from its closed position into the open position.

[0013] In the closed position of the pivoting element, the grinding or polishing tool is preferably completely surrounded in its radial direction by the pivoting element and the base body, and in the open position of the pivoting element protrudes in its radial direction at least in sections from an outer peripheral section of the base body.

[0014] It is thus possible in a simple manner to process the workpiece close to the edge with the grinding or polishing tool in the open position of the pivoting element.

[0015] The base body is preferably connected to a suction pipe for removing dust occurring during workpiece processing and has at least one bypass opening for reducing negative pressure between the grinding or polishing tool and an associated workpiece surface.

[0016] In this way, the dust occurring during the machining of a workpiece can be transported away safely and reliably, it being possible at least to reduce dust escaping from the suction hood or the base body.

[0017] According to one embodiment, the pivoting element covers the bypass opening of the base body at least in sections in the open position.

[0018] Thus, in the open position of the pivoting element, the dust extraction can be focused on the at least partial opening of the extraction hood and thus the escape of dust can be at least reduced.

[0019] The suction hood is preferably secured against twisting by a holder on the tool housing.

[0020] In this way, the extraction hood can be fixed stably and securely to the tool housing.

[0021] The holder is preferably fixed to the tool housing via at least one associated fastening means.

[0022] The suction hood can thus be fixed to the tool housing in a robust and reliable manner.

[0023] The problem mentioned at the outset is also solved by a suction hood for a hand-held power tool with a tool housing in which a drive motor for driving a grinding or polishing tool in rotation is arranged, the suction hood being designed to enclose the grinding or polishing tool at least in sections and to base body and a pivoting element that can be pivoted on it, the base body being designed to hold the grinding or polishing tool and the pivoting element being pivotable from a closed position into an open position for workpiece processing close to the edge in order to open the suction hood at least in sections, and the pivoting element being at least partially inside of the body is arranged.

The suction pipe can do this 185 e.g. be connected to a suction device via a hose. In addition, the suction pipe 185 also be designed in the manner of an adapter for fixing the hose of the suction device.

[0037] Furthermore, the body 161 preferably at least one bypass opening 180 on, to avoid or reduce a vacuum between the grinding or polishing tool 699 and the assigned workpiece surface 198 is trained.

This straight 192 forms a tangential outer edge of the suction pipe 185 training straights 193 a predetermined angle α. This angle α is specified such that between the handle 120 the hand tool 100 and the suction pipe 185 sufficient free space for one hand of a user of the hand-held power tool 100 is available, thereby enabling trouble-free work. The angle α is preferably designed as a 90° angle. Furthermore, the straight line 192 with a central axis 190 the hand tool 100 forms an angle β which is preferably in the range from 60° to 120°.
