Abstract

A vibrating compactor is equipped with a handle assembly (20) in which the vibrations are damped via vibration dampers (8) with an arrangement to limit the resilient movement of the vibration dampers. The handle assembly includes a lower section (5) and an upper section (9) joined by the vibration dampers. The lower section of the handle assembly is provided with through spindles (11) which can be positioned and tightened in elongated through openings (10) in the lower section. The spindles (11) extend through corresponding oblong holes (12) in the upper section (9) of the handle assembly. The holes (12) each widen toward one end and narrow toward the other end.
