CROSS-REFERENCE TO A RELATED APPLICATION 
     The invention described and claimed hereinbelow is also described in German Patent Application DE 10 2006 053 305.4 filed on Nov. 13, 2006. This German Patent Application, whose subject matter is incorporated here by reference, provide the basis for a claim of priority of invention under 35 U.S.C. 119( a )-( d ). 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a guard anti-rotation lock. 
     Publication EP 812 657 A1 makes known an angle grinder with an adjustable guard. In that case, the guard is adjustable in a rotating manner on a connection piece of a flange of the angle grinder, and is supported such that it may be detachably attached using a single form-fit locking means. The spindle of the angle grinder passes through the center of the flange. A cutting and/or grinding disk is installed on the free end of the spindle in a clampable, rotationally drivable manner for cutting and machining work pieces, which are partially enclosed by the guard. The guard must be positioned in a rotationally adjustable manner on the hand-held power tool such that the region of the grinding disk that faces the user is enclosed by the guard. At the same time, a region of the grinding disk that points away from the user extends past the flange, radially relative to the work piece engagement. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a guard anti-rotation lock for a hand-held power tool, in particular for an angle grinder. 
     It is provided that the guard anti-rotation lock includes a rotation lock unit, which is provided to take into account at least one operating parameter of the hand-held power tool when preventing rotation. The anti-rotation lock unit of the guard anti-rotation lock is preferably provided to prevent rotation between a guard and/or a guard together with a clamping band and the hand-held power tool, in particular a hand-held power tool receiving unit of the hand-held power tool. Due to the inventive design of the guard anti-rotation lock, it is possible to effectively protect an operator of the hand-held power tool from a—disk-shaped in particular—tool, which rotates during operation of the hand-held power tool, and/or, in particular, from parts of the tool that are slung in the direction of the operator if the tool becomes damaged, e.g., if the tool should burst. The operating parameter preferably includes an active state of the hand-held power tool, so that the anti-rotation lock unit is provided to account for an active state of the hand-held power tool, thereby making it advantageously possible to protect an operator during operation of the hand-held power tool. The active state of the hand-held power tool is advantageously a torque of a tool and/or a drive torque of a drive shaft for driving the tool, and/or a switched-on state of a motor unit of the hand-held power tool. 
     It is also provided that the anti-rotation lock unit is provided to prevent rotation between a guard unit and the hand-held power tool during a breakdown of the tool. In this context, “provided” is intended to mean, in particular, specially equipped and/or designed. In addition, a “breakdown of the tool” is intended to mean, in particular, a tool that bursts during operation of the hand-held power tool, in which case individual tool parts may be slung outwardly due to rotation of the tool, and the outwardly slung tool parts are preferably captured by the guard unit. Advantageously, a sizing of the anti-rotation lock unit is designed to absorb forces that occur when the tool becomes damaged, these forces being transferred from tool parts that strike the guard unit to the guard unit itself. A position of the guard unit is preferably maintained when the tool becomes damaged via the anti-rotation lock unit and proper functioning of the guard unit. The inventive design provides reliable protection of the operator during operation of the hand-held power tool by ensuring that an advantageous protective position of the guard unit may be retained on the hand-held power tool in a non-rotatable manner during the breakdown. 
     A particularly effective anti-rotation lock during operation of the hand-held power tool between the guard unit and the hand-held power tool may be attained when the guard anti-rotation lock includes a form-fit unit, which is provided to establish a form-fit connection between the guard unit and the hand-held power tool. 
     Furthermore, a hand-held power tool, in particular an angle grinder, with a guard anti-rotation lock is provided, the anti-rotation lock unit including at least one anti-rotation lock element that is located on a hand-held power tool housing and/or a hand-held power tool receiving unit, by way of which a rotation lock with a simple design may be realized. The term “located” is intended to mean, in particular, that the anti-rotation lock element is fastened to and/or movably supported on the hand-held power tool housing and/or the hand-held power tool receiving unit. The anti-rotation lock element may be proved to establish a non-positive and/or—particularly advantageously—a form-fit anti-rotation lock between the guard unit and the hand-held power tool, in particular in that the anti-rotation lock element is designed as a form-fit element, e.g., a bolt and/or a toothing and/or further form-fit elements that appear reasonable to one skilled in the technical art. 
     A particularly easy means for attaching and removing the guard unit to/from the hand-held power tool may be advantageously attained when the anti-rotation lock element is movably located on the hand-held power tool housing and/or the hand-held power tool receiving unit. The anti-rotation lock element is preferably moved into an anti-rotation lock position at the start of operation, and it is moved out of the anti-rotation lock position and into an inactive position after operation of the hand-held power tool and/or the tool, in particular when the hand-held power tool is in an active state. In the inactive position, an anti-rotation lock between the guard unit and the hand-held power tool is advantageously released. 
     In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that the anti-rotation lock unit includes at least one rotatably supported lever element on which the anti-rotation lock element is at least partially located, by way of which the anti-rotation lock element may be advantageously moved into an anti-rotation lock position and/or into an inactive position using the lever element. 
     It is also provided that the anti-rotation lock unit includes a fan, which is provided to generate an air flow for moving the lever element into an anti-rotation lock position, thereby making it advantageously possible to couple the anti-rotation lock to an operation—in particular an active state—of the hand-held power tool and/or the tool. The fan is preferably driven during operation by a shaft that is provided to transfer drive torque to the tool. 
     When the lever element also includes—at least partially—a chamber-like recess on a side that faces the fan, it is possible to reinforce an effect of the force of the air flow on the lever element using a simple design, in order to move the lever element and/or the anti-rotation lock element that is located on the lever element. 
     It is also provided that the anti-rotation lock unit includes a shaft with an eccentric element, which is provided to move the anti-rotation lock element into an anti-rotation lock position, thereby making it advantageously possible to couple the anti-rotation lock to an operation and/or an active state of the hand-held power tool. The shaft may be designed as a single piece with a drive shaft for driving the tool, or, particularly advantageously, it may be a shaft that is separate from the drive shaft and that is preferably coupled to a transfer of torque from the drive shaft and/or that is non-rotatably located on the drive shaft. An “eccentric element” is intended to mean, in particular, an element that is preferably located on the shaft in an eccentric manner and that presses the anti-rotation lock element into an anti-rotation lock position when the shaft rotates. Particularly advantageously, the eccentric element is designed as a leaf spring, thereby making it possible to reduce wear on the anti-rotation lock element and/or the eccentric element, in particular due to friction between the anti-rotation lock element and the eccentric element. 
     When the anti-rotation lock unit includes at least one restoring element that is designed to move the anti-rotation lock element into an inactive position, it is advantageously possible to release an anti-rotation lock between the guard unit and the hand-held power tool in a switched-off operating mode, and/or in an inactive state of the hand-held power tool, so that the guard unit may be removed by an operator of the hand-held power tool. In this context, an “inactive position” is intended to mean, in particular, a position of the anti-rotation lock element in which an anti-rotation lock between the guard unit and the hand-held power tool is advantageously released. The restoring element is designed as a magnet and/or, particularly advantageously, by a spring element, and/or by other restoring elements that appear reasonable to one skilled in the technical art. 
     In an advantageous refinement of the present invention, a guard unit with a guard anti-rotation lock is provided, the anti-rotation lock unit including at least one anti-rotation lock element that is located on a guard and/or a clamping band, by way of which a rotation lock between the guard unit and the hand-held power tool may be realized using a simple design. The guard unit preferably includes a guard and a closing unit with a clamping band. 
     It is also provided that the anti-rotation lock element is designed as a form-fit element that is provided to establish a form-fit connection with the hand-held power tool, thereby making it possible to attain a particularly effective anti-rotation lock between the guard unit and the hand-held power tool, even in the presence of strong forces—tangential forces, in particular—that act on the guard unit. This may be attained in a particularly advantageous manner when the form-fit element is designed as a recess. Any other form-fit elements that appear reasonable to one skilled in the technical art are also feasible in an alternative embodiment, of course. 
     When the anti-rotation lock unit includes at least two anti-rotation lock elements that are located one after the other in the circumferential direction, a reusable form-fit and/or non-positive connection between the guard unit and the hand-held power tool may be attained, and/or the guard unit may be advantageously and non-rotatably installed in different positions along the circumferential direction on the hand-held power tool. The term “circumferential direction” is intended to mean, in particular, a circumferential direction of the guard unit, which is oriented essentially parallel to a direction of rotation of the tool when the guard unit is in an installed state. 
     In an advantageous refinement of the present invention, a hand-held power tool system is provided with a hand-held power tool, in particular an angle grinder that includes a hand-held power tool receiving unit for receiving a disk-shaped tool, and with a guard unit and a guard anti-rotation lock that includes an anti-rotation lock unit that is provided to couple—at least partially—an anti-rotation lock between the guard unit and the hand-held power tool to an operating parameter of the hand-held power tool. It is possible to effectively protect an operator of the hand-held power tool from a—disk-shaped in particular—tool, which rotates during operation of the hand-held power tool, and/or, in particular, from parts of the tool that are slung in the direction of the operator if the tool becomes damaged, e.g., if the tool should burst. The operating parameter preferably includes an active state of the hand-held power tool, so that the anti-rotation lock unit is provided to account for an active state of the hand-held power tool, thereby making it advantageously possible to protect an operator during operation of the hand-held power tool. The active state of the hand-held power tool is advantageously a torque of a tool and/or a drive torque of a drive shaft for driving the tool, and/or a switched-on state of a motor unit of the hand-held power tool. 
     It is also provided that the anti-rotation lock unit includes at least one anti-rotation lock element that is located on a hand-held power tool housing and/or a hand-held power tool receiving unit, by way of which a particularly easy means for attaching and removing the guard unit may be advantageously attained. The anti-rotation lock element may be provided to establish a non-positive anti-rotation lock, and particulary advantageously, a form-fit anti-rotation lock between the guard unit and the hand-held power tool. 
     A particularly advantageous anti-rotation lock of the guard unit on the hand-held power tool that is coupled to a transfer of a drive torque from a motor unit of the hand-held power tool to a tool and/or an operation, in particular an active state of the hand-held power tool, may be attained when the hand-held power tool includes an actuating element for adjusting a spindle lock function and/or an actuating element for switching a motor unit of the hand-held power tool on and off, the actuating element being coupled with the anti-rotation lock element. The term “spindle lock function” refers, in particular, to an operating function of a drive shaft in which a rotational motion of the drive shaft is blocked and a transfer of a drive torque from the drive shaft to the tool is thereby prevented. The term “coupled” is intended to mean, in particular, an electrical, electronic, and/or—particularly advantageously—a mechanical coupling between the anti-rotation lock element and the actuating element. 
     It is also provided that the hand-held power tool includes a fan, which is provided to generate an air flow for moving the anti-rotation lock element into an anti-rotation lock position, thereby making it advantageously possible to couple the anti-rotation lock to an operation and/or an active state of the hand-held power tool and/or the tool. The fan is preferably driven during operation by a shaft that is provided to transfer drive torque to the tool. 
     Particularly advantageously, the hand-held power tool includes at least one ventilation opening for air to exit, the anti-rotation lock element being located downstream of the ventilation opening in a direction of flow of the air, thereby making it possible for the anti-rotation lock element to be moved into an anti-rotation lock position using the air flow. 
     In an advantageous refinement of the present invention, it is provided that the guard anti-rotation lock includes at least one anti-rotation lock element, which is located on the guard unit. As a result, it is possible to realize an anti-rotation lock with a simple design, in particular when the anti-rotation lock element interacts with an anti-rotation lock element of the hand-held power tool in a form-fit and/or non-positive manner. Particularly advantageously, the anti-rotation lock element is located, at least partially, on a clamping band, and/or on a guard collar of a guard of the guard unit. 
     Particularly advantageously, the present invention includes a hand-held power tool for a rotating, preferably disk-shaped tool, with a hand-held power tool housing that includes a flange and/or a machine neck, on which a guard—that is composed of sheet metal in particular—is detachably clampable in order to cover the tool. The guard includes a guard body, which is composed of a circular disk-shaped piece, in particular with an outer edge located at a right angle thereto, and with a central, circular recess, on the edge of which a guard connection piece and/or collar is formed and that includes an annular clamping band that may be tightened using a clamping means. An anti-rotation lock that acts between the machine neck and the guard is located between the guard and the machine neck and is designed as a profiled structure. The guard may be repeatedly coupled via the clamping band and/or the clamping means in its clamping position in a form-fit and/or non-positive manner with the machine neck, and is therefore capable of being fixed in a non-rotatable position and, to attain a release position, may be disengaged from the form-fit and/or non-positive connection, so that the guard may then be adjusted in a rotational manner. 
     Further advantages result from the description of the drawing, below. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawing. The drawing, the description, and the claims contain numerous features in combination. One skilled in the art will also advantageously consider the features individually and combine them to form further reasonable combinations.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
       FIG. 1  shows a hand-held power tool system  64   a  with a hand-held power tool  12   a  designed as an angle grinder, and with a guard unit  20   a , in a view from above. The angle grinder includes a hand-held power tool housing  26   a , a motor unit  16   a , and a main handle  80   a  integrated in hand-held power tool housing  26   a . Main handle  80   a  extends on a side  82   a  facing away from a tool  18   a  that is a cutting disk, in a longitudinal direction  84   a  of the angle grinder. An auxiliary handle  88   a  is located in a front region  86   a  of the angle grinder that is close to the tool, and extends transversely to longitudinal direction  84   a  of the angle grinder. 
       FIG. 2  shows hand-held power tool system  64   a  with hand-held power tool  12   a , guard unit  20   a , and a guard anti-rotation lock  10   a , in sections. Guard anti-rotation lock  10   a  includes an anti-rotation lock unit  14   a , which is provided to account for at least one operating parameter of hand-held power tool  12   a  when preventing rotation. To accommodate guard unit  20   a  and/or tool  18   a , hand-held power tool  12   a  includes a hand-held power tool receiving unit  28   a , which is screwed together with hand-held power tool housing  26   a  of hand-held power tool  12   a . A drive shaft  90   a  extends out of hand-held power tool receiving unit  28   a  on a side  144   a  facing away from hand-held power tool housing  26   a . Drive shaft  90   a  is connectable at its free end  92   a  with disk-shaped tool  18   a  and is rotationally drivable around an axis  94   a . Axis  94   a  of drive shaft  90   a  is oriented perpendicularly to longitudinal direction  84   a  of hand-held power tool  12   a . Guard unit  20   a  includes a guard  76   a  and a clamping band  74   a . Guard  76   a  extends around an angular range of tool  18   a  of approximately 180° and, to this end, includes a semi-disk shaped guard body  96   a  and a guard edge  98   a , which is initially oriented perpendicularly to semi-disk shaped body  96   a  and is finally oriented parallel to semi-disk shaped guard body  96   a , inwardly in a radial direction  100   a.    
     Guard unit  20   a  also includes a guard collar  78   a , which is oriented essentially perpendicularly to semi-disk shaped guard body  96   a . Guard collar  78   a  is enclosed outwardly in radial direction  100   a  by clamping band  74   a . Guard collar  78   a  and clamping band  74   a  are interconnected via a welded connection. Guard collar  78   a —together with clamping band  74   a —is provided to attach guard unit  20   a  to hand-held power tool  12   a  and/or to hand-held power tool receiving unit  28   a , which includes a cylindrical receiving flange  104   a  for this purpose. Along a circumferential direction  62   a ,  106   a  of clamping band  74   a , clamping band  74   a  includes two end regions  110   a ,  112   a  in a region  108   a  that faces away from guard  76   a  and extends outwardly in radial direction  100   a . End regions  110   a ,  112   a  each include a recess through which a clamping element  114   a  designed as a clamping screw extends. The clamping screw may be fastened in the recesses of clamping band  74   a  using a nut  116   a . A diameter of clamping band  74   a  may be varied using the clamping screw, thereby allowing guard unit  20   a  to be attached in a non-positive manner to receiving flange  104   a  of hand-held power tool  12   a  using a frictional connection. 
     Anti-rotation lock unit  14   a  secures guard unit  20   a  against accidental rotation during operation and/or when hand-held power tool  12   a  is in an active state, e.g., in particular, if tool  18   a  should become damaged, e.g., if tool  18   a  should burst, thereby providing advantageous protection for an operator of hand-held power tool  12   a . Anti-rotation lock  14   a  is sized such that the strong forces of outwardly slung tool parts that produced when the tool becomes damaged are absorbed. To this end, guard anti-rotation lock  10   a  includes a form-fit unit  22   a , which is provided to establish a form-fit connection between guard unit  20   a  and receiving flange  104   a  of hand-held power tool  12   a . To establish the form-fit connection, form-fit unit  22   a  and/or anti-rotation lock  14   a  include(s) an anti-rotation lock element  24   a  that is designed as a form-fit element  30   a  and is located on hand-held power tool housing  26   a  of hand-held power tool  12   a . Form-fit element  30   a  is designed as a cylindrical bolt that is movably supported in hand-held power tool housing  26   a , which includes a recess  146   a  for this purpose. As viewed from axis  94   a , the bolt is supported in hand-held power tool housing  26   a  such that it is movable perpendicularly to axis  94   a  along radial direction  100   a.    
     Anti-rotation lock unit  14   a  and/or form-fit unit  22   a  include further anti-rotation lock elements  46   a ,  48   a ,  50   a ,  52   a , each of which is designed as a form-fit element  54   a ,  56   a ,  58   a ,  60   a , and which are located on guard unit  20   a . Anti-rotation lock elements  46   a ,  48   a ,  50   a ,  52   a  are located one after the other in circumferential direction  62   a ,  106   a  on clamping band  74   a  and guard collar  78   a  of guard unit  20   a , and are designed as circular recesses. During operation and/or in the active state of hand-held power tool  12   a , the bolt extends through one of the recesses, thereby securing guard unit  20   a  against rotation on hand-held power tool  12   a . To this end, the bolt is coupled to a switching mechanism—only a portion of which is shown—of hand-held power tool  12   a  and, therefore anti-rotation lock unit  14   a  is coupled to an operating parameter of hand-held power tool  12   a . The switching mechanism includes an actuating element  68   a  of hand-held power tool  12   a  that is coupled to motor unit  16   a , so that an operator may switch motor unit  16   a  on or off using actuating element  68   a . The operating parameter of hand-held power tool  12   a  is represented by a switched-on position of actuating element  68   a . Via the coupling of the bolt to the switching mechanism, the bolt is located—when hand-held power tool  12   a  is in a switched-off state—in a recessed and/or inactive position inside hand-held power tool housing  26   a  of hand-held power tool  12   a , and an anti-rotation lock between guard unit  20   a  and hand-held power tool  12   a  is released. A position of guard unit  20   a  on receiving flange  104   a  may be changed only in the inactive position. 
     When an operator presses actuating element  68   a  into a switched-on position, the bolt is therefore moved along radial direction  100   a  in the direction of receiving flange  104   a , and thereby engages in one of the recesses in guard unit  20   a . At the same time, hand-held power tool  12   a  is in an active state, and motor unit  16   a  may be started. When guard unit  20   a  and/or the recesses are located in a position on receiving flange  104   a  that is rotated relative to the bolt, thereby preventing an anti-rotation lock of the bolt with one of the recesses, the bolt may be moved only partially along radial direction  100   a  when hand-held power tool  12   a  is switched on. The bolt is therefore in a position that deviates from an anti-rotation lock position, and motor unit  16   a  is prevented from being switched on using actuating element  68   a . It is also basically feasible, however, for anti-rotation lock unit  14   a  to be provided with a detection means that is capable of detecting when a guard unit  20   a  is installed on hand-held power tool  12   a  and advantageously prevents hand-held power tool  12   a  from being operated when guard unit  20   a  is not present. 
     Furthermore, hand-held power tool system  64   a  includes a coding device  118   a , which is provided to prevent tools  18   a  and/or tools  18   a  together with guard unit  20   a  from being installed on unsuitable hand-held power tools  12   a . To this end, clamping band  74   a  includes a coding element  120   a  of coding unit  118   a , which is designed as a single piece with clamping band  74   a . Coding element  120   a  is designed as a pressed-out region that extends inwardly in radial direction  110   a  and has a rectangular shape. Correspondingly, receiving flange  104   a  includes a coding element  122   a  of coding device  118   a , which is designed as a recess into which coding element  120   a  of clamping band  74   a  may be inserted when guard unit  20   a  is installed on hand-held power tool  12   a . After guard unit  20   a  has been inserted onto hand-held power tool receiving unit  28   a , guard unit  20   a  may be rotated into a working position. To this end, receiving flange  104   a  includes a groove  124   a  that extends in circumferential direction  62   a ,  106   a , in which coding element  120   a  is guided when guard unit  20   a  is rotated into the working position. At the same time, guard unit  20   a  is captively located on hand-held power tool  12   a  via groove  124   a  and coding element  120   a.    
     To make it easier for an operator to attach guard unit  20   a  and/or to change the position of installed guard unit  20   a  on receiving flange  104   a  of hand-held power tool  12   a , hand-held power tool system  64   a  includes a positioning device  126   a . Positioning device  126   a  includes several positioning elements  128   a  on receiving flange  104   a , which are located one after the other in circumferential direction  62   a ,  106   a , and each of which is designed as an indentation. Positioning elements  128   a  are located along axis  94   a  in a region of receiving flange  104   a  that faces away from tool  18   a . Guard unit  20   a  also includes a positioning element  130   a  of positioning device  126   a , which is designed as a single piece with clamping band  74   a . Positioning element  130   a  is located along axis  94   a  in an edge region  132   a  of clamping band  74   a . When guard unit  20   a  is installed on tool  18   a , edge region  132   a  faces away from tool  18   a . Positioning element  130   a  is designed as a segment in circumferential direction  62   a ,  106   a . Positioning element  130   a  is punched out of clamping band  74   a  along two sides that face clamping band  74   a , and it is located in an end region in circumferential direction  62   a ,  106   a  on clamping band  74   a . On a free end  134   a  in circumferential direction  62   a ,  106   a , positioning element  130   a  includes a pressed-out region that extends inwardly in radial direction  1   00   a  and has a contour that is essentially identical in shape to a contour of positioning elements  128   a  of receiving flange  104   a.

To distinguish the exemplary embodiments from each other, the reference numerals of the exemplary embodiments are appended with the letters a through e. The description below is essentially limited to the differences from the exemplary embodiment in  FIGS. 1 and 2 . With regard for the components, features, and functions that remain the same, reference is made to the description of the exemplary embodiment in  FIGS. 1 and 2 . 
       FIG. 3  shows a partial sectional view of a hand-held power tool system  64   b  that is an alternative to that shown in  FIG. 2 . Hand-held power tool system  64   b  includes a guard anti-rotation lock device  10   b  with an anti-rotation lock unit  14   b  that includes an anti-rotation lock element  24   b  designed as a form-fit element  30   b  and located on a hand-held power tool  12   b . Form-fit element  30   b  is formed by a toothing, which, in an anti-rotation lock position, engages in a not-shown form-fit element of a guard unit that corresponds to the toothing. Form-fit element  30   b  of hand-held power tool  12   b  is designed as a single piece with an actuating element  66   b  of hand-held power tool  12   b . Actuating element  66   b  is provided for adjusting a spindle lock function, so that an anti-rotation lock between the guard unit and hand-held power tool  12   b  is coupled to an operating parameter, which includes an active state of hand-held power tool  12   b  in which torque is transferred to a tool. When actuating element  66   b  is located in a spindle lock function, i.e., a rotation of a not-shown drive shaft of hand-held power tool  12   b  for driving the tool is blocked, form-fit elements  30   b  are disengaged, and an operator may remove or install the guard and/or the tool. When the spindle lock function has been released by actuating element  66   b , an anti-rotation lock between the guard unit and hand-held power tool  12   b  is therefore realized simultaneously via the two form-fit elements  30   b , and a blocking of the drive shaft is released. 
       FIG. 4  shows a partial sectional view of a hand-held power tool system  64   c  that is an alternative to that shown in  FIGS. 2 and 3 . Hand-held power tool system  64   c  includes a guard anti-rotation lock device  10   c  with an anti-rotation lock unit  14   c , which includes an anti-rotation lock element  24   c  designed as a form-fit element  30   c , which is a detent cam. Anti-rotation lock element  24   c  is designed as a single piece with a lever element  32   c  of anti-rotation lock unit  14   c . Lever element  32   c  is rotatably located on hand-held power tool  12   c . Hand-held power tool  12   c  and/or anti-rotation lock unit  14   c  also include(s) a fan, which is provided to generate an air flow during operation of hand-held power tool  12   c , and which is located inside a hand-held power tool housing  26   c . To this end, ventilation openings  70   c  designed as air outlet openings are located on hand-held power tool housing  26   c , through which the air flow exits during operation of hand-held power tool  12   c . In flow direction  72   c , lever element  32   c  is located downstream of ventilation openings  70   c  in hand-held power tool housing  26   c . In an active state and/or during operation of hand-held power tool  12   c , lever element  32   c  is pushed away from hand-held power tool housing  26   c  in the direction of a receiving flange  104   c  and/or a guard unit, and anti-rotation lock element  24   c  is moved into an anti-rotation lock position with the guard unit. To disengage form-fit element  30   c  located on lever element  32   c  from guard unit when hand-held power tool  12   c  is in a switched-off state, lever element  32   c  is rotatably supported using a not-shown spring element. Lever element  32   c  may be moved back into its home position using a spring force of the spring element. Form-fit element  30   c  is located on an end  138   c  of lever element  32   c  that faces away from a rotation axis  136   c  of lever element  32   c.    
       FIG. 5  shows a partial sectional view of a hand-held power tool system  64   d  that is an alternative to that shown in  FIGS. 2 and 4 . Hand-held power tool system  64   d  includes a guard anti-rotation lock device  10   d  with an anti-rotation lock unit  14   d , which includes an anti-rotation lock element  24   d  designed as a form-fit element  30   d , which is a detent cam. Anti-rotation lock element  24   d  is designed as a single piece with a lever element  32   d  of anti-rotation lock unit  14   d . Lever element  32   d  is rotatably located on hand-held power tool receiving unit  28   d  of hand-held power tool  12   d . In addition, a fan  34   d  is located inside hand-held power tool receiving unit  28   d . An operation of fan  34   d  is coupled to an operation of a tool and/or a transfer of a drive torque to a drive shaft  90   d . Lever element  32   d  is supported via a not-shown spring element such that it is movable outwardly along a radial direction  100   d  between fan  34   d  and a receiving flange  104   d  of hand-held power tool receiving unit  28   d . Receiving flange  104   d  includes a recess  140   d  through which the detent cam extends during operation of hand-held power tool  12   d  and, with form-fit elements  54   d ,  56   d ,  58   d ,  60   d  of guard unit  20   d  designed as recesses, prevents guard from rotating. Lever element  32   d  also includes a chamber-type recess  38   d  on a side  36   d  facing fan  34   d , through which an effect of the force of the air flow is increased in order to move anti-rotation lock element  24   d  into an anti-rotation lock position. Anti-rotation lock element  24   d  is moved back out of the anti-rotation lock position after operation of hand-held power tool  12   d  in a manner analogous to that described with reference to  FIG. 4 . 
       FIG. 6  shows a partial sectional view of a hand-held power tool system  64   e  that is an alternative to that shown in  FIGS. 2 and 5 . Hand-held power tool system  64   e  includes a guard anti-rotation lock device  10   e  with an anti-rotation lock unit  14   e , which includes an anti-rotation lock element  24   e  designed as a form-fit element  30   e , which is a detent cam, and which is located inside hand-held power tool receiving unit  28   e  of a hand-held power tool, in a manner analogous to that described with reference to  FIG. 5 . To move the detent cam into an anti-rotation lock position, anti-rotation lock unit  14   e  includes a shaft  40   e  designed as a hollow shaft, which is non-rotatably coupled with a drive shaft  90   e . An eccentric element  42   e  designed as a leaf spring is located on shaft  40   e  on a radially outwardly directed side  142   e . During operation of hand-held power tool  12   e , eccentric element  42   e  is pressed outwardly against lever element  32   e  by the centrifugal forces acting on the leaf spring when drive shaft  90   e  rotates around an axis  94   e  (shown in  FIG. 6  as a dashed line). This creates a radially outwardly acting force on lever element  32   e , so that the detent cam located on lever element  32   e  engages in an anti-rotation lock element  46   e ,  48   e ,  50   e  of a guard unit  20   e  provided to prevent rotation and designed as a recess. Anti-rotation lock unit  14   e  also includes a restoring element  44   e  that is designed as a spring element, and that moves anti-rotation lock element  24   e  and/or lever element  32   e  out of an anti-rotation lock position and into a starting position as soon as a transfer of drive torque via drive shaft  90   e  to the tool has been halted, and/or as soon as operation of hand-held power tool  12   e  has been halted.
