Eine erfindungsgemäße Werkzeugverlängerung weist die Merkmale des Patent Anspruches 1 auf, wobei zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen durch die Abhängigen Ansprüche definiert sind. Bevorzugterweise ist eines der Antriebsräder mit einer Mehrkantöffnung ausgestattet, die das Einstecken des Betätigungswerkzeuges erlaubt, während das zweite Antriebsrad mit einem Mehrkantzapfen ausgerüstet ist, der der Aufnahme des Steckschlüssels dient. Ebenso ist es auch denkbar, beide Antriebsräder mit einer Mehrkantöffnung auszustatten, wobei die Steckschlüsselaufnahme in diesem Falle mittels handelsüblicher Mehrkantverbindungsstücke erfolgt. Je nach Einsatzbedingungen und Ausführungsform können die einzelnen Elemente der horizontalen Verlängerung aus Metall, Kunststoff oder jedem anderen geeignet erscheinenden Material hergestellt sein. A tool extension according to the invention has the features of Patent claim 1, wherein expedient configurations are defined by the dependent claims. Preferably one of the drive wheels equipped with a polygonal opening that allows the operating tool to be inserted allowed while the second drive wheel with a polygonal pin is equipped, which serves to hold the socket wrench. As well it is also conceivable to equip both drive wheels with a polygonal opening, the socket wrench holder in this case by means of commercially available Polygonal connectors are made. Depending on the operating conditions and design can use the individual elements of horizontal extension Metal, plastic or any other suitable material his.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verlängerung ist mit allen üblichen Betätigungswerkzeugen und dem entsprechenden Zubehör kombinierbar.The invention Extension is with all the usual operating tools and the corresponding one Accessories can be combined.

In der Fig. 1 ist eine horizontale Verlängerung mit zwei Schalen 1 und 2 dargestellt, die zusammen die Antriebsköpfe 3 und 4 sowie den Schaft 5 zwischen den Köpfen 3 und 4 bilden. Die Schalen 1 und 2 sind im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel miteinander verschraubt, wobei aber auch jede andere mögliche Verbindungsweise denkbar ist. In den Antriebsköpfen ist jeweils ein Antriebsrad, hier ein Zahnrad angeordnet, wobei in dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1 eines der Zahnräder mit einer Vierkantöffnung 6 ausgestattet ist, während das andere Zahnrad am gegenüberliegenden Antriebskopf mit einem Vierkantzapfen 7 versehen ist, der zur Steckschlüsselaufnahme dient.1 shows a horizontal extension with two shells 1 and 2, which together the drive heads 3 and 4 and the shaft 5 between the Form heads 3 and 4. The shells 1 and 2 are in the illustrated embodiment screwed together, but also any other possible connection is conceivable. There is a drive wheel in each of the drive heads, here arranged a gear, one of the in the embodiment of FIG Gears is equipped with a square opening 6 while the other Provide the gear on the opposite drive head with a square pin 7 which is used to hold the socket wrench.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt ein Zahnrad 8, das mit einer Vierkantöffnung 6 versehen ist und einen Zahnkranz 9 trägt. Das Zahnrad des gegenüberliegenden Kopfes der horizontalen Verlängerung ist vorzugsweise identisch ausgebildet, abgesehen davon, daß anstelle der Vierkantöffnung ein Vierkantzapfen 7 vorgesehen sein kann.Fig. 2 shows a gear 8, which is provided with a square opening 6 and carries a ring gear 9. The gear of the opposite head of the horizontal Extension is preferably identical, apart from that instead of the square opening, a square pin 7 can be provided.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die horizontale Verlängerung nach Fig. 1 wobei über die bereits bekannten Merkmale hier insbesondere die Schrauben 10 zur Verbindung der die Verlängerung bildenden Schalen zu erkennen sind.FIG. 3 shows a top view of the horizontal extension according to FIG. 1 about the already known features here in particular the screws 10 Connection of the shells forming the extension can be seen.

Die Fig. 4 zeigt die Draufsicht auf ein Zahnrad wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt.FIG. 4 shows the top view of a gear wheel as shown in FIG. 2.

Wie sich aus den Fig. 5 und 6 ergibt, sind durch entsprechende Ausnehmungen in den Schalen 1 und 2 Kanäle 11 gebildet, in denen eine (nicht gezeigte) Kette läuft, die die beiden Zahnräder 8 miteinander verbindet. Die Kanäle können dabei entweder durch spanende Bearbeitung oder durch entsprechendes Verformen hergestellt sein. As can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6, there are corresponding recesses formed in the shells 1 and 2 channels 11 in which a chain (not shown) runs, which connects the two gears 8 together. The channels can either by machining or by appropriate shaping be made.

Die Fig. 7 und 8 zeigen ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer horizontalen Verlängerung für Betätigungswerkzeuge mit Vierkantantrieb, wobei hier eine gekröpfe Version dargestellt ist. Diese unterscheidet sich von der geraden Verlängerung durch zwei unterschiedliche Abwinklungen im Schaft 5 und dadurch, daß zur optimalen Nutzung beide Zahnräder 8 mit einer Vierkantöffnung 6 ausgestattet sind. Die Steckschlüsselaufnahme geschieht hierbei mit Hilfe von Vierkantverbindungsstücken, die als handelsübliches Zubehör für Betätigungswerkzeuge erhältlich sind.7 and 8 show a further embodiment of a horizontal Extension for actuating tools with square drive, here one cranked version is shown. This differs from the straight extension by two different bends in the shaft 5 and that both gears 8 are equipped with a square opening 6 for optimal use are. The socket wrench takes place here with the help of square connectors, the as a commercially available accessory for operating tools are available.
