DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS
[0027]
[0028]
[0029] The quick-clamping system 10a comprises a movement-securing unit 22a. The movement-securing unit 22a has at least one movement-securing element 24a, 26a which is arranged in particular on the clamping device 18a. The at least one movement-securing element 24a, 26a is provided for moving the tool device 20a, in particular into a rotary carry-along position, and/or for securing the tool device 20a. The quick-clamping system 10a is provided for fastening the tool device 20a on the power tool 12a, in particular without tools being required. In a state in which the tool device 20a is secured on the power tool 12a by means of the quick-clamping system 10a, the tool device 20a can be driven in rotation by the output spindle 16a of the power tool 12a. Axial securing of the tool device 20a constitutes securing of the tool device 20a along an axial direction of the output axis 14a.
[0030] For axial securing of the tool device 20a on the output spindle 16a, the clamping device 18a comprises a first hook device 52a and a second hook device 54a. The hook devices 52a, 54a are designed in the form of hook jaws. The second hook device 54a is designed essentially analogously to the first hook device 52a. The hook devices 52a, 54a are designed to be capable of relative movement, in particular pivoting movement about a pivot axis 56a. The hook devices 52a, 54a have a common pivot axis 56a. However, it is also conceivable for the hook devices 52a, 54a to have different pivot axes. The pivot axis 56a of the clamping device 18a, in particular of the hook devices 52a, 54a, runs in a plane running transversely, in particular essentially perpendicularly, to the output axis 14a. The pivot axis 56a of the clamping device 18a forms a clamping-device axis of rotation. As seen along the output axis 14a, the hook devices 52a, 54a are essentially of C-shaped design. As seen along the output axis 14a, the two mutually opposite hook devices 52a, 54a are essentially in the form of a sideways eight or an infinity symbol.
[0031] The hook devices 52a, 54a are designed to be capable of movement relative to one another, in particular pivoting movement about the pivot axis 56a, in an angle range of up to 50, preferably of up to 40, preferably of up to 30, particularly preferably of up to 20.The clamping device 18a or the hook devices 52a, 54a can have two states. The clamping device 18a or the hook devices 52a, 54a can have a fastening state or a release state. In a fastening state, the hook devices 52a, 54a have been extended in a radial direction away from the output axis 14a, in particular such that, in an extended state, the hook devices 52a, 54a assume a maximum radial extent in relation to one another. In a fastening state, the hook devices 52a, 54a have been connected to the tool device 20a. In a fastening state, the hook devices 52a, 54a have been engaged with the tool device 20a as a result of the hook devices 52a, 54a moving in the radial direction of the output axis 14a. The tool device 20a can be retained on the power tool 12a in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner by means of the hook devices 52a, 54a. In a fastening state, the tool device 20a has been connected to the quick-clamping system 10a in a form-fitting manner in the axial direction of the output axis 14a. In a release state, the clamping device 18a has, in particular the hook devices 52a, 54a have, been retracted in the radial direction toward the output axis 14a such that the clamping device 18a has, in particular the hook devices 52a, 54a have, a maximum radial extent along a direction running essentially perpendicularly to the output axis 14a, said maximum radial extent being smaller than a minimum radial extent of an aperture of the tool device 20a. The clamping device 18a, in particular the hook devices 52a, 54a, can be transferred from a release state to a fastening state by virtue of the tool device 20a being introduced into the quick-clamping system 10a in the axial direction of the output axis 14a.
[0032] The movement-securing unit 22a has a first movement-securing element 24a and a second movement-securing element 26a. The first movement-securing element 24a is arranged on the first hook device 52a. The first movement-securing element 24a is arranged on a first inner side 58 of the first hook device 52a. The second movement-securing element 26a is arranged on the second hook device 54a. The second movement-securing element 26a is arranged on a second inner side 60 of the second hook device 54a. As an alternative, it is conceivable for the movement-securing elements 24a, 26a to be arranged on other inner sides and/or outer sides of the hook devices 52a, 54a. The movement-securing elements 24a, 26a are provided for realizing movement of the tool device 20a, in particular into a rotary carry-along position. A tool device 20a which is located in a rotary carry-along position can be driven in rotation by the output spindle 16a. The movement-securing elements 24a, 26a are provided for moving, in particular for rotating, the tool device 20a about the output axis 14a. The movement-securing elements 24a, 26a provided for moving the tool device 20a are designed in the form of shapings of the hook devices 52a, 54a which cause the tool device 20a to move as a result of a contact pressure of the tool device 20a, in particular while the tool device 20a is being fastened in the quick-clamping system 10a. The movement-securing elements 24a, 26a are designed in the form of oblique surfaces. As an alternative, it is conceivable for the movement-securing elements 24a, 26a provided for moving the tool device 20a to be designed in the form of bearing elements, for example in the form of ball bearings or the like, or in the form of motor-driven drive elements or the like. The movement-securing elements 24a, 26a interact in order to move the tool device 20a. The movement-securing unit 22a is provided to convert a relative movement of the clamping device 18a into a relative movement of the tool device 20a. The movement-securing unit 22a is provided to convert a pivoting movement of the clamping device 18a, in particular of the hook devices 52a, 54a, relative to the power tool 12a, in particular relative to the output spindle 16a, into a relative movement of the tool device 20a. The movement-securing unit 22a is provided to convert a relative movement of the clamping device 18a into a rotating relative movement of the tool device 20a relative to the clamping device 18a, in particular relative to the hook devices 52a, 54a. The movement-securing unit 22a is provided so that a force component which acts on the tool device 20a essentially in the axial direction as a result of the relative movement of the clamping device 18a is converted by said unit into a force component which acts on the tool device 20a essentially in a circumferential direction. The force which acts on the tool device 20a in the circumferential direction causes a relative movement of the tool device 20a. The circumferential direction is in the form of a direction which runs essentially in the form of a circular ring, and in a radial plane, about the output axis 14a. The movement-securing unit 22a is provided by a shaping of the clamping device 18a, in particular of the hook devices 52a, 54a, and/or of the tool device 20a for converting a relative movement of the clamping device 18a into a relative movement of the tool device 20a.
[0033] The at least one movement-securing element 24a, 26a arranged in particular on the clamping device 18a is designed in the form of an oblique surface. The oblique surface is provided to generate, in dependence on a movement of the clamping device 18a along a circumferential direction, a force component which acts on the tool device 20a. The movement-securing elements 24a, 26a designed in the form of oblique surfaces are formed in one piece with the clamping device 18a, in particular with the hook devices 52a, 54a. As an alternative, it is conceivable for the movement-securing elements 24a, 26a designed in the form of oblique surfaces to be arranged in a releasable manner on the clamping device 18a, in particular on the hook devices 52a, 54a. The oblique surfaces are arranged at an acute angle on the clamping device 18a, in particular on the hook devices 52a, 54a. Each of the hook devices 52a, 54a of the clamping device 18a has in each case at least one movement-securing element 24a, 26a designed in the form of an oblique surface. The tool device 20a can have at least one oblique surfaces designed to complement the movement-securing elements 24a, 26a designed in form of oblique surfaces. The force component which acts on the tool device 20a along the circumferential direction is generated by a sliding movement of the tool device 20a along the movement-securing elements 24a, 26a designed in the form of oblique surfaces, as a result of the relative movement of the clamping device 18a, in particular of the hook devices 52a, 54a.
[0034] The movement-securing unit 22a has at least one further movement-securing element 32a, 34a, which is arranged in particular on the output spindle 16a and is designed in the form of a conical extension, which is provided to interact with a fixing aperture 36a, 38a of the tool device 20a (cf.

The first accommodating region 74d is designed in the form of a depression in the first movement-securing element 24d, designed in the form of a holder.
[0043] The second movement-securing element 26d designed in the form of a holder has a second accommodating region 76d for accommodating the second further movement-securing element 30d, which is designed in the form of an extension. The accommodating region 76d is designed in the form of a depression in the second movement-securing element 26d designed in the form of a holder. As an alternative, it is conceivable for the accommodating regions 74d, 76d to be designed in the form of apertures, or in the form of convexities or the like in the movement-securing elements 24d, 26d designed in the form of holders. The extensions are designed in the form of bolts. As an alternative, it is conceivable for the extensions to be designed in the form of connecting pins, in the form of connecting stubs, or in the form of latching noses or the like. The movement-securing elements 24d, 26d designed in the form of holders are provided for accommodating the further movement-securing elements 28d, 30d, which are designed in the form of extensions, for essentially axial movement in the direction of the further movement-securing elements 28d, 30d, which are designed in the form of extensions.

The movement-securing elements 24d, 26d designed in the form of holders and/or the further movement-securing elements 28d, 30d, which are designed in the form of extensions, move in particular automatically and/or without tools being required, as a result of the tool device 20d being fastened on the quick-clamping system 10d. As an alternative, it is conceivable for the movement-securing elements 24d, 26d designed in the form of holders and/or the further movement-securing elements 28d, 30d, which are designed in the form of extensions, to move as a result of automatic actuation of at least one of the movement-securing elements 24d, 26d, 28d, 30d. A respective movement-securing element 24d, 26d designed in the form of a holder and a further movement-securing element 28d, 30d, which is designed in the form of an extension, are arranged on each hook device 52d, 54d of the clamping device 18d. The movement-securing unit 22d is provided in addition to the clamping device 18d, for additionally securing the tool device 20d.
