Claim:
A dust container of a hand-held power tool for receiving machining residue from a hand-held power tool to which the dust container is connected, comprising: a container including a blow-in region through which an air flow which contains dust and material chips generated by the hand-held power tool flows; a further region located downstream of said blow-in region and formed as a variation region in which dust and material chips deposit; and a variation means configured for varying a receiving volume of the variation region, wherein the variation means is reversibly transformable between at least two stable shape states characterized by different receiving volumes by applying a minimum force, wherein the variation means includes folding elements which are provided for deformation, and wherein each of the folding elements includes a front section and a rear section which are folded or unfolded independently of each other to achieve said at least two stable shape states and to adapt a shape of the dust container to a particular application, further comprising a filter unit and a further variation means, wherein said further variation means is located on said filter unit to raise or lower said filter unit relative to a connecting means provided to securely fasten said dust container to said hand-held power tool.
