Claim:
A handheld power tool, in particular a handheld right-angle grinder ( 10 ), having a motor housing ( 11 ), which accommodates an electric motor drive for a tool, in particular for a grinding or cutting wheel ( 14 ), and having a handle ( 15 ), which is retained on the motor housing ( 11 ) by means of a handle mounting device ( 30 ) located between them, which handle mounting device has a mount ( 40 ), secured to the motor housing ( 11 ), and at least one vibration-damping element ( 50 ) that is in communication with the mount ( 40 ) and the handle ( 15 ), wherein the handle mounting device ( 30 ) has a mounting plate ( 60 ), to which the handle ( 15 ) is fastened by means of a fixation device; the at least one vibration-damping element ( 50 ) is located between the mount ( 40 ) and the mounting plate ( 60 ) and is solidly joined to both of them to form a unitary component; and fastening members ( 70 ) engaging the mount ( 40 ) fix it to the motor housing ( 11 ), wherein each fastening member ( 70 ) passes through the unitary component and penetrates a passage ( 62 ) in the mounting plate ( 60 ), a passage ( 54 ) in the vibration-damping element ( 50 ), and a passage ( 42 ) in the mount ( 40 ), wherein all of the passages ( 62 , 54 , 42 ) are aligned with one another, wherein each fastening member ( 70 ) engages with one end ( 72 ) the motor housing ( 11 , 20 ) and has a stop part ( 76 ) formed as a collar on its shaft ( 74 ), wherein said stop part ( 76 ) engages the mount ( 40 ) and firmly clamps the mount ( 40 ) against the motor housing ( 11 , 20 ), wherein each fastening member ( 70 ) comprises a securing element ( 71 ) in the form of a screw head ( 77 ) on its other end, wherein said securing element ( 71 ) is free-standing relative to the mounting plate ( 60 ) during normal operation, but if the vibration-damping element ( 50 ) is defective, for instance if it is torn, firmly holds the mounting plate ( 60 ) and by way of it the handle ( 15 ) and the motor housing ( 11 ) together.
