Abstract: In a soft grip element for hand-operated electric machine tools which have a machine housing (10) with a molded-on or attached handle, which has a stiff shell body (18) which is detachably placed machine housing (10) and/or the handle (11), and a coating (19) of soft elastic material which covers the shell body, to form an air reservoir under the surface of the user's hand, in the free surface of the coating (19) a host of recesses (20) is made.

Abstract: A clamping device for motor-driven straight-back and saber saws fixable to a lifting rod, the clamping device has a clamp holder, a movable clamping piece arranged relative to the clamp holder so that a saw blade can rest between the clamp holder and the movable clamping piece, the clamping piece having a first side which faces toward the clamp holder and has a surface adapted to abut against the saw blade, and also a second side which is remote from the clamp holder and has a wedge-shaped surface, a wedge piece having a wedge-shaped surface abutting against the wedge-shaped surface of the clamping piece and also having an opposite surface, and a spring acting on the wedge piece so as to move the clamping piece into a position of repose so that the first surface of the clamping piece presses against the saw blade.

Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping device for saw blades, in particular in motor-driven straight-back and saber saws, which is fixable to a lifting rod.
