Abstract: A multistep reduction-gear attachment for multipurpose electric motors. Its casing-like gear box, whcih can be attached to a collar that surrounds the shaft of the motor and is intended for securing accessories, accommodates two axially parallel belt wheels or toothed wheels. One wheel is screwed onto the motor shaft, which engages inside the the gear box when the motor is in operation. The other wheel is screwed onto a drill spindle that is inserted into the gear box from the opposite side. To reduce manufacturing costs and simplify mounting accessories, the gear box (2) consist of two angled components (3), each flank (5) of which has at the end a chuck (6) for the collar (8) of the electric motor (1) or for the drill spindle (9) and which are secured together with means (4 & 13) of attachment that can be loosened in such a way that the components can move toward each other along said flank and the angled components, the belt wheels, and the wall plates (14) are similar to each other in shape.
