20090000821 | CORD PROTECTOR FOR POWER TOOLS - A power tool having a housing, a motor disposed in the housing, a power cord connected to the motor, and a cord protector operably engaging the power cord. The cord protector comprising a spring member coupled to the housing on a first end and engaging the power cord on a second end. The spring member exerting a biasing force upon the power cord in response to a load being applied to the power cord and recovering to an initial position in response to removal of the load. | 01-01-2009 |
20090004908 | CORD PROTECTOR FOR POWER TOOLS - A power tool having a housing, a motor disposed in the housing, a power cord connected to the motor, and a cord protector operably engaging the power cord. The cord protector comprising at least one elastically-deformable biasing member engaging the power cord and exerting a biasing force upon the power cord in response to a load being applied to the power cord and recovering to an initial position in response to removal of the load. | 01-01-2009 |
20090004909 | CORD PROTECTOR FOR POWER TOOLS - A power tool having a housing, a motor disposed in the housing, a power cord connected to the motor, and a cord protector operably engaging the power cord for movement therewith. The cord protector comprises a cam follower bracket having a camming slot sized to receive a cam follower. The cam follower bracket being biased into an initial position and exerting a biasing force upon the power cord in response to a load being applied to the power cord. | 01-01-2009 |
20090151816 | Adjustable Work Benches for Power Tools - A work bench for a power tool includes a beam for supporting the power tool, the beam having a first end, a second end, and a top surface extending between the first and second ends, and legs for supporting the beam over a surface. The work bench includes a first extension arm extendable from the first end of the beam, the first extension arm including a first main arm that telescopes within the first end of the beam, a first auxiliary arm that telescopes within the first main arm, and a first support leg that is pivotally connected with the auxiliary arm and that telescopes within the main arm. The work bench includes a second extension arm extendable from the second end of the beam, the second extension arm including a second main arm that telescopes within the second end of the beam, a second auxiliary arm that telescopes within the second main arm, and a second support leg that is connected with the second auxiliary arm and that telescopes within the second main arm. | 06-18-2009 |
20090205211 | Power tools - A power tool is provided with a perforated material remover to remove perforated material from power tool cutting implements. The power tool also includes a rip guide which has a long guide edge and two attachment points to the shoe/base of the saw. The rip guide is attached to the base/shoe via a pair of L-shaped openings that accept L-shaped support arms of the rip guide. The rip guide can also be folded for compact storage. The power tool also includes dual bevel scales for quickly and easily setting the bevel angle on the power tool. | 08-20-2009 |
20090261538 | TOOL CHUCK WITH SLEEVE AND CLUTCH MECHANISM - A tool chuck may include a chuck body defining a longitudinal axis. A sleeve may be mounted on the chuck body and axially fixed relative to the chuck body. A clutch part may be provided on the sleeve. The clutch part may interact with a cooperating clutch part mounted on the power driver housing. The cooperating clutch part may be mounted on the power driver housing for movement between a first axial position in which the chuck body is rotatable together with the sleeve, and a second axial position in which the chuck body is rotatable relative to the sleeve to actuate the tool chuck. The chuck body may be rotatable in a first direction to actuate the tool chuck up to a first torque threshold, and rotatable in a second direction to actuate the tool chuck up to a second, different torque threshold. | 10-22-2009 |
20100090420 | Tool chuck with sleeve and clutch mechanism to remove operator variability - A tool chuck may include a chuck body defining a longitudinal axis. A sleeve may be mounted on the chuck body for movement between a first axial position and a second axial position. A clutch part provided on the sleeve. The clutch part may engage with a cooperating clutch part when the sleeve is in the second axial position. The clutch part may have a working surface that faces in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. | 04-15-2010 |
20110088267 | Worm Drive Saw - A power tool for cutting a workpiece including a casing, an auxiliary handle assembly extending from the casing, a motor disposed at least partially in the casing, and a drive transmission operably coupled to the motor. The drive transmission outputs a driving force in response to an input from the motor. A spindle locking mechanism is provided that is selectively positionable between a retracted position spaced apart from the drive transmission and a locked position engaging the drive transmission. The spindle lock mechanism thereby prevents rotation of the drive transmission in response to actuation of a pad member. The pad member can be positioned adjacent to the auxiliary handle to permit single-handed holding of the power tool and actuation of the pad member. | 04-21-2011 |
20110232112 | Power Tools - A power tool is provided with a perforated material remover to remove perforated material from power tool cutting implements. The power tool also includes a rip guide which has a long guide edge and two attachment points to the shoe/base of the saw. The rip guide is attached to the base/shoe via a pair of L-shaped openings that accept L-shaped support arms of the rip guide. The rip guide can also be folded for compact storage. The power tool also includes dual bevel scales for quickly and easily setting the bevel angle on the power tool. | 09-29-2011 |
20120025476 | Tool Chuck with Sleeve and Clutch Mechanism To Remove Operator Variability - A tool chuck may include a chuck body defining a longitudinal axis. A sleeve may be mounted on the chuck body for movement between a first axial position and a second axial position. A clutch part provided on the sleeve. The clutch part may engage with a cooperating clutch part when the sleeve is in the second axial position. The clutch part may have a working surface that faces in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. | 02-02-2012 |
