Abstract
A handle is provided for a medical instrument comprising at least one movable grip element and a coupling portion through which a shaft is or can be connected with the handle. The movable grip element is or can be joined with a force transmission element axially movable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the shaft to translate motion of the at least one movable grip element into linear motion of the force transmission element. The coupling portion is pivotal relative to a handle axis about at least one pivot axis running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. In addition, the movable grip element is or can be joined with the force transmission element through a lever arrangement comprising at least two double-arm levers. The first lever is pivotal about an axis fixed to the handle and the second lever is pivotal about an axis fixed to the coupling portion. The two levers are frictionally joined with one another and are pivotal with respect to one another about the first pivot axis.
