Hand-guided electrically-powered tool with handle

Abstract

A hand-guided and operated electrically-powered hand tool, in particular a belt sander or the like, is comprised of a working tool part ( 2 ) projecting from a housing for the working of a workpiece. The housing ( 1 ) has on the side facing away from the working tool part ( 2 ) a handle ( 4 ) for guiding the tool. Planar surfaces on bearing surfaces ( 5 ) arranged on the handle provide for stable bearing of the electrically-powered hand tool in a change position. In the change-position, there is no contact between the working tool part and the workpiece, so that uncomplicated replacement of the tool part is possible.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A manually operated electrically-powered hand tool, such as a belt sander and the like, comprising a housing ( 1 ) with a first surface for mounting a working tool part ( 2 ) having a working surface for operating on a workpiece and a second surface directly opposite said working surface, at least one handle ( 4 ) on said second surface, said handle has at least one substantially planar bearing surface for stably supporting said hand tool with said working surface of said work tool part ( 2 ) out of contact with the workpiece.  
     
     
         2 . A manually operated electrically-powered hand tool, as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the said handle ( 4 ) has a plurality of bearing surfaces ( 5 ), with all of said bearing surfaces located in the same plane.  
     
     
         3 . A manually operated electrically-powered hand tool, as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein said handle ( 4 ) has two bearing surfaces ( 5 ).  
     
     
         4 . A manually operated electrically-powered hand tool, as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein said bearing surfaces ( 5 ) are arranged substantially parallel to the working surface of said working tool part ( 2 ).  
     
     
         5 . A manually operated electrically-powered hand tool, as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said handle ( 4 ) is comprised at least in part of an elastic material.  
     
     
         6 . A manually operated electrically-powered hand tool, as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein said handle ( 4 ) is comprised at least in part of rubber.
