  • a membrane is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a separating membrane which prevents a mixture of the two components or a mass transfer between the two components
  • a “first use” should be understood as meaning a state of the handle device which is produced by a manufacturing process a first use by an operator and / or an application of a hand, in particular a pressure transmission from the Hand of the operator on the handle device, preferably on a handle portion of the handle device represents.
  • the contour and / or handle shape of the handle adapted to the operator can be maintained over a longer period of time.
  • a time-consuming readjustment prior to each start-up of the handle device can advantageously be dispensed with if a mixing process and / or a curing process of a mixed state of the two components is formed by an irreversible process.
  • a "curing" should be understood in particular a process in which the mixing state of the two components in a solid state of aggregation passes, such as by drying, etc.
  • At least one of the two components is formed by a foam component, whereby advantageously the mixing state is formed by a foam and thus an advantageous weight-reduced handle device can be achieved.
  • a foam component is to be understood as meaning in particular a component which reacts chemically in a mixed state with at least one further component, and the mixed state is preferably formed by a foam.
  • Inclusions such as in particular gaseous bubbles containing.
  • the adjusting device has a damping unit, whereby in addition an advantageous vibration damping during operation of the handle device can be achieved.
  • the damping unit has at least one damping means, which is formed by a foam.
  • the damping means is formed by curing a mixed state of at least one first foam component and a second foam component, the damping means can be implemented particularly inexpensively and in particular simply.
  • other components, space, installation costs and costs can be advantageously saved if the damping means at the same time to adapt the contour or the handle shape of the handle device to the hand - A -
  • damping properties of at least the damping means can be at least partially adjusted by an operator.
  • the auxiliary handle has a grip sleeve, which at least partially forms a receiving region for the adjusting device, whereby a structurally simple recording and a compact, in particular space-saving arrangement of Einstellvorrich- device can be achieved within the auxiliary handle device.
  • the damping unit has at least one support element, which is formed by a Tilgermassenelement, whereby in addition to a vibration damping by means of the damping means, an absorption of a vibration energy can be achieved.
  • a "absorber mass element” should be understood to mean, in particular, an element which, at least within a prescribed frequency range of an output oscillation and / or an exciter oscillation, is excited to counter-oscillation, which is preferably directed counter to the output oscillation or the excitation oscillation and thus to a resonant oscillation Reduction of vibrations contributes.
  • the support element has a thread, which is provided for setting a bias voltage of at least one damping means of the damping unit, an advantageous adaptation of a damping behavior of the damping unit to a vibration behavior of the power tool can be adapted to a working process during operation of the power tool.
  • FIG. 1 shows a hand tool with an additional handle device according to the invention in a schematic representation, Fig. 2, the auxiliary handle device with an adjustment before a
  • FIG. 1 shows a hand tool machine 14 designed by an angle grinder in a view from above.
  • the angle grinding machine comprises a housing 46 and a main handle 44 integrated in the housing 46.
  • the main handle 44 extends on a side 50 facing away from a tool 48 formed by a cutting disk in the direction of a longitudinal direction 52 of the angle grinder.
  • a handle device 10 arranged on a front, tool-near region 54 of the angle grinder is a handle device 10 formed by an auxiliary handle device 12, which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction 52 of the angle grinder.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show the auxiliary handle device 12 with a handle 16 formed by an additional handle 56, an adjustment device 18 and a fastening unit 58.
  • the auxiliary handle 56 has a grip sleeve 34, which forms a receiving area 36 for the adjusting device 18 with a radially inwardly facing surface 60.
  • the adjusting device 18 comprises two components 20 each formed by a foam component 26, 28,
  • the two foam components 26, 28 are separated from each other by a membrane 24 prior to initial use by an operator of the auxiliary handle device 12 (FIG. 2).
  • the adjusting device 18 has a damping unit 30 with a damping means 32 formed by a foam (FIG. 3).

  • a pressure is exerted on the auxiliary handle device 12 or on a handle region 64 or the grip sleeve 34 of the auxiliary handle 56 by gripping the grip sleeve 34.
  • this pressure causes the membrane 24 between the two foam components 26, 28 to lose its separating properties and the two foam components 26, 28 to mix. Due to the required pressure, which leads to a permeability of the membrane 24, the undesirable permeability of the membrane 24 is prevented by a non-pressure contact.
  • a mixed state of the two foam components 26, 28 they react chemically with one another and a mixed state 62 formed by a foam forms (FIG. 3).
  • This mixed state 62 spreads during a mixing operation, thereby stretching the grip sleeve 34 formed therefrom by an elastic material such as a rubber sleeve.
  • an elastic material such as a rubber sleeve.
