Abstract
A safety clutch for a motor-driven hand tool breaks the rotational drive train when a working tool becomes seized in a receiving material. The safety clutch includes coupling members (25) positioned in a part (22) for transmitting rotational movement to the working tool. The coupling members (25) are radially displaceable within the part (22) between a first position rotatably connecting the part and a power take-off spindle (21) and a second position releasing the connection between the part and spindle. An annular inertial mass (28) rotates with and is rotatable relative to the part (22). The mass (28) has recesses (31) in its inner surface for receiving the coupling members (25) in the second position, and it has support surfaces for holding the coupling members (25) in connecting engagement in recesses (27) in the spindle in the first position.
