Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a dual tool-carrier for hand drills with the following features: two shafts are provided each for mounting one tool e.g. drill chuck, screw attachment etc.; the shafts form an angle with one another which swivels the tool not being used out of the working area; a fixture is provided, said fixture frictionally connects alternately the axes with the driving shaft of the drill. The invention is characterized by the following features: the shafts and the driving shafts of the drill form a plane; the two shafts are provided and can be rotated about an axis vertical to said plane; a driver is provided connected to the driving shaft fixed in their rotational movement; a bell-shaped sleeve is provided, said bell-shaped sleeve is firmly connected to the machine housing; a swivel bearing is provided driven by the bell-shaped sleeve; the two shafts are supported in the swivel bearing; at least one coulisse guide is provided for the swivel bearing, said coulisse bearing guides the swivel movement of the swivel bearing so that the respective shaft in the operating position is connected to the drive fixed in their rotational movement; a mechanical catch is provided, said catch prevents unintentional swivelling of the swivel bearing.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
71 words
Dual tool-carrier according to claim 1, wherein for the load transmission from driving shaft to shaft in operating position; the driver is designed as spur gear; the shafts of the dual tool-carrier are each provided with a spur gear at their rear end; and to transfer the driving power to the shaft a spur gear is provided, said spur gear couples the driving shaft with the respective shaft in operating position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
67 words
Dual tool-carrier according to claim 2, wherein the driver has a polyhedral socket; the driver shows for each edge a V-shaped notch towards its open side; the shaft to be driven by the driver has on its connecting length to the driver a corresponding polyhedral insert bit; each surface of the polyhedral insert bit has a flat chamfering on its end which is inserted in the driver.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
Dual tool-carrier according to claim 1 wherein the coulisse guide is formed so that for decoupling and coupling of shaft and driver before the swivel movement a movement in axial direction is executed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
Dual tool-carrier according to claim 1 wherein an additional hand grip is provided on the swivel bearing to swivel said swivel bearing.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
Dual tool-carrier according to claim 1 wherein the mechanical catch fixture is provided integrated in the hand grip.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
Dual tool-carrier according to claim 1 wherein the bearing of at least one shaft shows play in axial direction so that the impact effect of an impact drilling machine can be transferred.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
50 words
Dual tool-carrier according to claim 1 wherein the connection between shaft and driving shaft fixed in their rotational movement for at least one shaft has axial play at least as great as the stroke of an impact drill whereby the corresponding shaft is supported in the absence of axial play.
