Fuehrungs- und Haltegriff fuer handgefuehrte Geraete

The invention relates to a guidance and holding handle for hand-operated equipment, such as angle grinders, drilling machines, circular and jig saws, routers, kitchen appliances and similar, said handle being arranged adjustably in the vicinity of the tool. The handle according to the invention has a particularly favourable ergonomic design which is adaptable to various work tasks, body sizes and spatial conditions. This objective is achieved by the fact that it can be swivelled in two planes and locked in various positions. Swivelling takes place firstly radially about the drive axis of the tool, i.e. orthogonally to the drive axis, and at an angle to this plane.
