Abstract
The medical/technical tool holder apparatus (2) with torque limitation comprises a receiver (5) for at least one shear body (7) and a shearing means (10a) which is rotatably connected to the receiver (5) and which is arranged in such a manner with respect to a shear body (7) located in the receiver (5) that the shearing means (10a) contacts the shear body (7) as soon as a torque acts on the shearing means (10a), with the shearing means (10a) and the shear body (7) being mutually matched and arranged in such a manner that the shearing means (10a) at least partly severs the shear body (7) when a specific torque is exceeded.
