Abstract:
A hand-guided grinding device comprising a central housing (4) for containing a transmission unit and drive motor, a shaft with an axis (A) extends axially downwardly from said central housing (4) with said central housing offset eccentrically relative to said axis (A), a motor driven grinding disk (2) mounted concentrically on said shaft and having a grinding surface (3) with an outer peripheral edge, a main handle (6) and an additional handle (8) connected to opposite sides of said central housing (4) for the two-handed operation of said grinding device (1), said handles (6, 8) projecting laterally outwardly from opposite sides of said central housing (4), said central housing (4) has a housing section (9) located above and adjoining said grinding disk (2) and located between said grinding disk (2) and said central housing (4) and extending laterally outwardly at least in part on opposite sides of said central housing (4), said housing section (9) having a lower surface adjoining said grinding disk (2) and an upper surface spaced below said main handle along said axis (A) with a gripping surface (10) on said upper surface of said housing section (9) and located at least in part within an axial projection of the outer peripheral edge of said grinding surface (3) and extending continuously around said central housing (4) from one side to an opposite side and below said main handle (6) in the region of the axis (A), with the bulk of an outward extension of said gripping surface (10) located within the axial projection of the outer peripheral edge of said grinding surface, and said gripping surface (10) arranged for an operator of said grinding device to press axially downwardly against said gripping surface affording one-handed gripping operation.
