Patent ID: 7363711

Claim:
A hand-operated machine tool for machining workpieces, the tool comprising: a machining tool and a stroke drive therefore; a rotating stroke eccentric driven about a rotation axis, wherein the stroke eccentric, via its outer surface extending in the direction of the rotation axis, and a tool-side driving member are supported against one another in a stroke direction extending transversely to the rotation axis, and the tool-side driving member is driven by the stroke eccentric in the stroke direction to execute a movement which can be converted into a working movement of the machining tool with adjustable movement end positions; a cam carrier with an adjusting cam provided between the stroke eccentric and the tool-side driving member and movable together therewith, the stroke eccentric and the tool-side driving member being supported against one another in the stroke direction via the adjusting cam; and a retaining stop, configured to be releasable for adjustment of the movement end position of the machining tool, provided for the cam carrier, wherein the cam carrier is drivable by the rotating stroke eccentric when the retaining stop is released, with movement of the adjusting cam into a space between the stroke eccentric and the tool-side driving member, wherein the cam carrier is locked against being driven when the retaining stop is active, and wherein the adjusting cam has a pitch in its direction of movement.
