Abstract: A material removing tool, such as a cutting or grinding tool, adapted to be oscillated by the output shaft of a manually operable motor-driven apparatus, is provided with at least one elongated cutting edge defined by teeth or analogous cutting elements arranged in at least one at least substantially straight linear array.

Abstract: A saw blade (5) for a machine tool (1) with oscillating drive includes toothing with teeth (7) whose tips lie on an arc (9a, 9b), with the centers Z2 of the arc (9a, 9b) lying outside of a center of rotation Z1 of the saw blade (5).

Abstract: The surgical instrument for tensioning a cable-like, a band-like or a cord-like tensioning element (5) comprises a manually actuatable lever system. Two levers (1, 2)—the first and the second actuation lever—are jointedly connected by a third lever (3). In a basic position of the system the tensioning element can be laid into a laying-in opening (15) of the first lever and into a clamping gap (32) at the second and at the third lever. One of the actuation levers (2) is formed in one section as a beam (20′, 21′) which is elastic in bending. The extent of a shape change of the beam can be measured. A relationship between this shape change and a tension in the tensioning element is known. The tension can be set as a result of this knowledge and of a measurement (209, 211; 8) of the shape change, or a means a tension monitor or sensor, serving for the same purpose is provided for determining a torque which acts at the corresponding actuation lever (2).
