Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0128039A2] A handle for a portable tool has secured to it spindle 15 which is engageable in a nut 12 held captive in the tool casing. The spindle is encircled by a flange 18 having on one face ratchet teeth 27 which co-operate with complementary teeth 26 in a boss 25 on the casing, the flange being capable of axial movement relative to the spindle 15 against the bias of a spring 24 to allow the teeth 27 to ride over the teeth 26. The handle cannot become unscrewed accidentally but can be unscrewed when the flange is pressed outward against the spring 24.
