Abstract
A mold for a plastic grip of a portable tool has two halves with depressions forming the negative. The base body has a top grip extending, when mounted, across the topside of the housing perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the tool and a lateral grip connected to the top grip extending therefrom, when mounted, laterally downwardly. The top grip has a first end and the lateral grip has a second end for connecting to the housing. Top and lateral grips have identical elliptical cross-sections rotated to one another in the circumferential direction of the grip by an angle of rotation. Cross-sections have a first diameter larger than a second diameter. Mold depressions have recesses for molding elongate, raised portions in the longitudinal direction. Recesses are adjacent circumferentially and extend spirally. Separation surfaces of mold halves are positioned in a longitudinal center plane of a recess adjacent the first diameter.
