Abstract

An adapter apparatus for connecting a rechargeable battery to a power tool, containing a latching device for latching the adapter apparatus together with the power tool; and a locking device for locking the latching device is disclosed. The latching device is adjustable reversibly from a first position into a second position, wherein, in the first position, the adapter apparatus is firmly connected to the power tool and, in the second position, the adapter apparatus is detachable from the power tool, and the locking device is adjustable reversibly from a first position into a second position, wherein, in the first position, the locking device locks the latching device in the first position and, in the second position, the locking device does not lock the latching device and so the latching device is movable from the first position into the second position.
