摘要 |
The present invention relates to a device for carrying out mechanical tasks, in particular pressing, riveting, folding and cutting, on components by means of tool elements (2, 3) arranged on a substantially one-piece, preferably C-shaped tool holder (1) defining an operating region (4). The tool holder (1) is held via a first rotational connection (5) as vertically pivotal in a mount (6). The operating region (4) has a large insertion depth for the components, which is achieved according to the invention in that the first rotational connection (5) is arranged in a position at a significant distance from the centre of gravity (7) of the tool holder (1). Owing to the fact that on vertical pivoting of the tool holder (1) a spring element (8), preferably a gas pressure spring (8), is tensioned in such a way and a pressure force is generated which is approximately equal to the force arising from the positioning of the first rotational connection (5) at a distance from the centre of gravity (7), it is ensured in an advantageous manner that the device remains upright in any chosen working position almost without force.
