Abstract
A connector for coupling a particle outlet of a handheld machine tool to a particle receiving device is described. The connector has a tube-shaped inlet portion extending along an inlet axis and a tube-shaped outlet portion extending along an outlet axis. The tube-shaped outlet portion is for coupling to the particle receiving device. The inlet portion has a body section and an engagement section. The engagement section is resiliently coupled to the body section. The engagement section has an engagement geometry for mating with an engagement counter-geometry on the particle outlet, such that a positive locking effective along a circumferential direction is provided between the engagement geometry and the engagement counter-geometry. Moreover, a lock is coupled to the inlet portion. The lock is for selectively blocking a movement of the engagement section relative to the body section. Moreover, a handheld machine tool, a handheld machine tool assembly, and a method for operating a handheld machine tool assembly are presented.
