HANDLE DEVICE, IN PARTICULAR FOR HAND TOOLS

A handle device, in particular for a hand tool, includes a grip unit and a fastening unit. A resiliently elastic damping unit is arranged between the grip unit and the fastening unit. The damping unit is configured to transmit a vibration that occurs on the fastening unit in the operating state of the handle device to the grip unit in an at least partially damped manner so that a user is decoupled at least partially from the vibration. An overload protection unit is configured to protect the damping unit from damage in the event of an overload state occurring on the grip unit or on the fastening unit by diverting at least part of a force flux between the fastening unit and the grip unit to an additional force flux path as a bypass during the overload state.
