It is proposed that the fastening part is provided for bracing the attachment part on the protective hood by way of a force that is oriented so as to be at least substantially perpendicular to the movement plane.

The term “provided” is intended to be understood as meaning, in particular, specially programmed, specially conceived and/or specially equipped. The fact that an object is provided for a particular function is intended to be understood as meaning, in particular, that the object performs and/or carries out this particular function in at least one application and/or operating state. The term “substantially perpendicular” is in particular to be understood to mean an orientation of a direction of a straight line or a plane, in particular a direction of the force, relative to a reference direction, another straight line or another plane, in particular the movement plane, wherein the direction, the straight line or the plane and the reference direction, the other straight line or the other plane, in particular when viewed in a projection plane, enclose an angle of 90° and the angle has a maximum deviation of in particular less than 8°, advantageously less than 5°, and particularly advantageously less than 2°. The attachment part and the fastening part in a mutual relative movement preferably move in particular at least partially within the movement plane. When viewed along the movement plane, the fastening part, in particular conjointly with the protective hood, at least partially preferably encloses the attachment part. The fastening part preferably encloses the attachment part in a peripheral region of the attachment part. The attachment part is in particular provided to be attached to the machine tool, in particular to the protective hood, by way of a direction that is oriented so as to be at least substantially perpendicular to the movement plane. The fastening part is preferably provided to impinge the attachment part with at least one force that is oriented so as to be at least substantially perpendicular to the movement plane and in particular faces the protective hood. The fastening part, for bracing the attachment part with the protective hood, is particularly preferably provided for being at least partially pushed onto the protective hood, wherein the fastening part in particular at least partially encompasses the attachment part. When viewed along the movement plane, the fastening part, conjointly with the attachment part, is in particular provided for at least partially enclosing the protective hood. The fastening part in a braced state preferably bears, at least partially, in particular in a planar manner, on the attachment part, wherein the attachment part is in particular braced with the protective hood by means of the fastening part.

The protective hood adapter device, by way of assembly on a protective hood, configured as a protective grinding hood, of a machine tool configured as an angle grinder, conjointly with the protective hood, is preferably provided for forming a protective grinding disk hood, in particular a protective grinding disk hood of type C according to standard EN 62841-2-3. The protective hood adapter device, in a grinding procedure using the machine tool configured as an angle grinder, is in particular configured to protect a user from sparks and/or severed projectiles. However, it is also conceivable for the protective hood adapter device to be provided for use with machine tools other than an angle grinder. The protective hood adapter device preferably comprises at least one bearing unit for movably mounting the fastening part on the attachment part. The bearing unit preferably has at least two bearing elements, wherein one bearing element is in particular disposed on the fastening part and another bearing element is disposed on the attachment part.

The attachment part and/or the fastening part preferably have/has at least one plane of primary extent, which are/is oriented so as to be at least substantially parallel to the movement plane and/or at least substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis. The term “a plane of primary extent” of a component, in particular of the fastening part and/or of the attachment part, is intended to be understood as meaning in particular a plane which is parallel to a largest lateral face of a smallest imaginary cuboid which just completely encloses the component and in particular runs through the center of the cuboid. The term “substantially parallel” is intended to be understood as meaning in particular an alignment of a straight line, of a plane or of a direction, in particular of the plane of primary extent, relative to another straight line, another plane or a reference direction, in particular the movement plane, wherein the straight line, the plane or the direction, in particular when viewed in a projection plane, in relation to the other straight line, the other plane or the reference direction has a deviation of in particular less than 8°, advantageously less than 5°, and particularly advantageously less than 2°.

It is moreover proposed that the fastening part comprises at least two bracing faces which are disposed on two mutually facing internal sides of the fastening part. Advantageously secure fastening of the attachment part to the protective hood can be achieved. An advantageously simple and cost-effective design embodiment of the protective hood adapter device can be made possible. The bracing faces are preferably oriented so as to be oblique or at least substantially parallel to the movement plane. The bracing faces are in each case preferably disposed on a side of the fastening part that faces the attachment part. One bracing face of the two bracing faces, for fastening the protective hood adapter device, in particular the attachment part, is in particular provided to be attached to the attachment part.

For example, the latching element or the latching elements, in at least one section plane aligned so as to be at least substantially perpendicular to the movement plane, has/have a wedge-shaped basic shape. The latching element or the latching elements particularly preferably extends/extend at least substantially perpendicular to the movement plane or, when viewed along the pivot axis, along a curved or straight distance on the fastening part, or on the attachment part. The latching element or the latching elements, for fastening the attachment part by means of the fastening part, preferably engage/engages on a clearance and/or a face of the attachment part or of the fastening part.

It is moreover proposed that the protective hood adapter device comprises at least one guide unit which is disposed so as to be spaced apart from the pivot axis and is provided for guiding the fastening part on the attachment part in a movement relative to the attachment part. An advantageously rapid and faultless movement of the fastening part relative to the attachment part can be achieved, in particular independently of any canting of the fastening part. An advantageously high level of robustness and durability of the protective hood adapter device can be made possible, in particular because twisting of the fastening part relative to the attachment part can advantageously be prevented. The guide unit preferably comprises at least one guide element which is disposed on the fastening part or the attachment part, in particular is configured so as to be integral with the fastening part or the attachment part.

An advantageously high level of user comfort can be made possible, in particular because an irritating noise as a result of an impact of the fastening part, or of the attachment part, in movements of the fastening part relative to the attachment part, for example during transport or for changing the protective hood adapter device, can advantageously be prevented. Locking a position of the fastening part relative to the attachment part can advantageously be made possible, in particular in an open, or non-braced, and a closed, or braced, position.
