| 20090145521 | POWER TOOL WITH BASE CLAMP - A power tool includes a motor assembly, a base assembly, and a clamp assembly coupled to the motor assembly or the base assembly to selectively provide a retention force to the other to removably couple the motor assembly and the base assembly. The clamp assembly includes a handle member, a fulcrum member, and a biasing lever member. The lever member includes a first portion and a second portion disposed on opposite sides of the fulcrum member. The handle member is coupled to the first portion, and the handle member is movable between an open and closed position. The handle member rotates the first and second portions of the biasing lever member about the fulcrum member when moving from the open to the closed position, causing the second portion of the lever member to provide the retention force. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090145259 | POWER TOOL WITH SPINDLE LOCK - A power tool includes a spindle assembly supported for rotation about an axis. The spindle assembly includes a plurality of engagement members, and at least two of the engagement members are disposed in spaced relationship less than one hundred eighty degrees from each other with respect to the axis of the spindle assembly. The power tool also includes a spindle lock assembly that selectively engages at least one of the plurality of engagement members to lock the spindle assembly against rotation about the axis. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090141482 | LIGHT SOURCE AND WIRING CONFIGURATION FOR POWER TOOL - A power tool includes a motor, a lighting power source, and a housing assembly defining an axis that supports the motor and the lighting power source. The power tool also includes a lighting assembly with a light and an energy line that transmits energy to the light to thereby provide illumination. The light and the lighting power source are disposed in spaced relationship from each other relative to the axis. Furthermore, the power tool includes a light holder supported by the housing assembly. The light holder supports the light and a portion of the energy line such that an end of the energy line unsupportedly extends beyond the light holder and electrically couples to the lighting power source. | 06-04-2009 |
