Abstract:
A mold for molding a grip for a portable, hand-guided working tool; wherein the grip has a base body comprising a top grip portion extending, when the grip is mounted on the working tool, across a top side of a housing of the working tool perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the working tool at a spacing to the top side of the housing, wherein the base body comprises a lateral grip portion connected to the top grip portion and extending from the top grip portion, when the grip is mounted on the working tool, laterally downwardly at a spacing to a sidewall of the housing, wherein the top grip portion has a first connecting end for connecting the grip to the housing and a second connecting end for connecting the grip to the housing; said mold comprising:a first mold half and a second mold half; said first mold half having a first mold separation surface and said second mold half having a second mold separation surface; said first mold half having a first depression and said second mold half having a second depression, wherein said first and second depressions combined are a negative of a grip to be molded; wherein said negative has a first portion, having a first elliptical cross-section, for molding the top grip portion and a second portion, having a second elliptical cross-section, for molding the lateral grip portion, wherein said first and second cross-sections are identical; said cross-sections having a first and a second diameter, said first diameter being larger than said second diameter; said first cross-section rotated relative to said second cross-section in a circumferential direction of said negative by an angle of rotation; said first and second depressions having integral, elongate, recesses extending in a longitudinal direction of said first and second depressions and distributed adjacent to one another in said circumferential direction of said negative; said recesses extending spirally along said first and second portions of said negative; said first and second mold separation surfaces positioned within a longitudinal center plane of a respective one of said recesses neighboring said first diameter and thus following said angle of rotation.
