Abstract:
Medical/technical tool holder apparatus (2) with torque limitation, comprising a receiver (5) for holding at least one shear body (7) and a shearing means (10a) which is rotatably connected to the receiver (5), with the shearing means (10a) and the receiver (5) being mutually matched in such a manner that the shearing means (10a) contacts a held shear body (7), at least when a torque acts on the shearing means (10a); in that the shearing means (10a) has at least one blade (10d); in that the blades (10d) are arranged such that they act on the shear body (7); and in that the shearing means (10a) at least partly severs the shear body (7) when a specific torque is exceeded.
