Patent ID: 11072130

Abstract:
The invention relates to a hand-guided device (10) for setting a setting element (12) in a component. The device comprises a handle (14) for holding the device, a carriage (34), which can be moved in relation to the handle and which bears a rotatably supported drive shaft (46), at one end of which a holder for the setting element is formed, a force accumulator (44), which is arranged between the handle and the carriage and which serves to store a defined advancing force, with which the force limiter can be loaded by means of a relative motion between the handle and the carriage, and a force limiter (64) for limiting the advancing force stored in the force accumulator. The force accumulator is designed to apply the stored advancing force to the setting element by means of the carriage. The invention further relates to a method for manually setting a setting element by means of said device.
