DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] A first preferred exemplary embodiment of a chisel 100 according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 1. The chisel 100 is intended for use in an electric handheld power tool in the form of a jackhammer 300 (cf. FIG. 2).

[0029] The chisel 100 has a free shank 110 via which the chisel 100 can be inserted along a working axis A into an insertion sleeve 210 (cf. FIG. 2) of a tool fitting 200 of the jackhammer 300. As can be gathered from FIG. 1, the free shank 110 has a hexagonal cross section 115. A total of six guide segments 120, which modify the hexagonal cross section 115 and each extend along the working axis A, are formed on a surface OF of the free shank 110. The six guide segments 120 are arranged uniformly along the circumferential direction UR on the shank 110. On the basis of the perspective illustration, only three of the guide segments can be seen in FIG. 1.

[0030] The six guide segments 120 each have a planar surface EOF which, with respect to the working axis A, each extend in the tangential direction TR. In the circumferential direction UR, each of the six guide segments 120 is placed centrally over an edge of the hexagonal cross section 115. Consequently, the hexagonal cross section 115 has been modified into a dodecagonal cross section.

[0031] As can be gathered from FIG. 1, the free shank 110 has at least one locking groove 140. The locking groove 140 serves for locking the shank 110 in the insertion sleeve 210. Here, the locking groove 140 acts in conjunction with a locking cutout 240 (cf. FIG. 2) in order to limit a movement of the chisel 100 in the axial direction along the working axis A. The locking groove 140 extends parallel to the working axis A.

[0032] The chisel 100 of FIG. 1 has a working side 190. The guide segments 120 are arranged only on a side of the locking groove 140 facing away from the working side 190.

[0033] A first preferred exemplary embodiment of a tool fitting 200 according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 2. Here, FIG. 2 shows a perspective sectional illustration of the tool fitting 200. A cross section of the tool fitting 200 (along the section line A-A in FIG. 3) is illustrated in FIG. 3.

[0034] The tool fitting 200 serves for receiving the chisel 100 of FIG. 1 coaxially to a working axis A of the tool fitting 200. The tool fitting 200 has a basic body 290 with an insertion sleeve 210. The chisel 100 can be inserted by a free shank 110 into this insertion sleeve 210. As can be gathered from FIG. 3, the insertion sleeve 210 has a hexagonal cross section 215 at least in certain portions.

[0035] Six supporting portions 220, which extend parallel to the working axis A of the tool fitting 100 and which serve to support the free shank 210, are formed on an inner surface IOF of the insertion sleeve 210.

[0036] The supporting portions 220 each have a planar surface EOF′ which, with respect to the working axis A, extend in the tangential direction TR and, in the circumferential direction UR, are each placed centrally over an edge 217 of the hexagonal cross section 215. Here, the six supporting portions 220 are arranged uniformly along the circumferential direction UR of the inner surface IOF. Consequently, the hexagonal cross section 115 has been modified into a dodecagonal cross section (cf. FIG. 4).

[0037] The insertion sleeve 210 has at least one locking cutout 240 for locking the shank 110 in the insertion sleeve 210, wherein the locking cutout 240 extends parallel to the working axis A. The insertion sleeve 210 is equipped with an inlet opening 211 for the shank 110 of the chisel 100 (cf. FIG. 1). The six supporting portions 220 each extend, with respect to the working axis A, only on that side of the locking cutout 240 which faces away from the inlet opening 211. When the chisel 100 of FIG. 1 is received in the tool fitting 200, the six guide segments 120 are in contact with the six supporting portions 220.

[0038] A second preferred exemplary embodiment of a chisel 100 according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 5. The chisel 100 has a free shank 110 via which the chisel 100 can be inserted along a working axis A into an insertion sleeve 210 (cf. FIG. 6) of a tool fitting 200 of the jackhammer 300. As can be gathered from FIG. 5, the free shank 110 has a hexagonal cross section 115. A total of six guide segments 120′, which modify the hexagonal cross section 115 and each extend along the working axis A, are formed on a surface OF of the free shank 110. The six guide segments 120′ are arranged uniformly along the circumferential direction UR on the shank 110. On the basis of the perspective illustration, only three of the guide segments can be seen in FIG. 5.

[0039] By contrast with the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1, in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 5 the guide segments 120′ each have a concavely curved surface KOF. Here, the curvatures are each with respect to the working axis A. The concavely curved surfaces KOF are each arranged centrally between two adjacent edges 117 of the hexagonal cross section 115 in the circumferential direction UR. In other words, in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 5 the guide segments 120′ each take the form of elongate grooves.

[0040] As in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1, the chisel 100 of FIG. 5 also has a working side 190. By contrast with the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1, in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 5 the guide segments 120′, with respect to the working axis A and in a viewing direction from the working side 190 toward the shank 110, already begin at the beginning of the locking groove 140.

[0041] A second preferred exemplary embodiment of a tool fitting 200 according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 4. Here, FIG. 6 shows a perspective sectional illustration of the tool fitting 200. A cross section of the tool fitting 200 (along the section line A-A in FIG. 6) is shown in FIG. 7.

[0042] The tool fitting 200 serves for receiving the chisel 100 of FIG. 3 coaxially to a working axis A of the tool fitting 200. The tool fitting 200 has a basic body 290 with an insertion sleeve 210. The chisel 100 can be inserted by a free shank 110 into this insertion sleeve 210. As can be gathered from FIG. 4, the insertion sleeve 210 has a hexagonal cross section 215 at least in certain portions.

[0043] Six supporting portions 220′, which extend parallel to the working axis A of the tool fitting 100 and which serve to support the free shank 210, are formed on an inner surface 10F of the insertion sleeve 210. The supporting portions 220′ each have, with respect to the working axis A, a convexly curved surface KOF′, wherein this surface KOF′ is placed centrally between two adjacent edges 217 of the hexagonal cross section 215 in the circumferential direction UR. In other words, in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 7 the supporting portions 220′ each take the form of elongate supporting beads. When the chisel 100 of FIG. 5 is received in the tool fitting 200 of FIG. 6, the six guide segments 120′ (in the form of the elongate grooves) are in contact with the six supporting portions 220′ (in the form of the six elongate supporting beads).
