Each of the illustratedguide rails first wall 148 extending generally perpendicularly from thetop side 116 and asecond wall 152 extending generally perpendicularly from thefirst wall 148. Theguide rails receptacle 34. In the illustrated embodiment, therail arrangement 136 also houseselectrical connectors 156 at its front end. Theelectrical connectors 156 mate with corresponding connectors (not shown) provided on thereceptacle 34 to permit electrical communication between thebattery pack 100 and thereceptacle 34 when thebattery pack 100 is coupled to thereceptacle 34. - With reference to
FIGS. 2-4 , thebattery pack 100 further includes ahandle 160 extending from theback side 112 of thehousing 104. The illustratedhandle 160 is integrally formed with the first andsecond housing portions handle 160 can be formed separately and coupled to thehousing 104 by any suitable means. Thehandle 160 includes aninner wall 164 defining anaperture 168 between thehousing 104 and thehandle 160. Theaperture 168 is sized to receive a user's hand so that the user can grasp agrip portion 172 of thehandle 160. As such, in some embodiments theaperture 168 can have a length (measured transverse to the insertion axis 132) between about 1 inch and about 6 inches, and theaperture 168 can have a width (measured along the insertion axis 132) between about ¾ inch and about 3 inches. - Referring to
FIGS. 4-7 , thebattery pack 100 includes a latchingarrangement 176 coupled to thehousing 104. The latchingarrangement 176 is engageable with thereceptacle 34 to inhibit thebattery pack 100 from being removed from thereceptacle 34. The latchingarrangement 176 includes afirst latch member 180, asecond latch member 184 opposite thefirst latch member 176, and anactuator 188. Although the illustratedlatching arrangement 176 includes twolatch members arrangement 176 can include a single latch member or more than two latch members. As described in greater detail below, theactuator 188 is movable relative to thehousing 104 from a first position to a second position to move thelatch members FIG. 6 ) to an unlatched position (FIG. 7 ). As shown inFIG. 6 , the actuator is at least partially located within the aperture when the actuator is in the first position. - With reference to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , theactuator 188 includes a user-manipulable button portion 192 and an engagingportion 196 spaced from thebutton portion 192. Theactuator 188 also includes arecess 200 that receives afirst spring member 204, such as a coil spring (FIG. 4 ). Thefirst spring member 204 is engaged between therecess 200 and thehousing 104 to force theactuator 188 toward the first position. - The
handle 160 is generally hollow and includes acavity 208 defined between theinner wall 164 and anouter wall 212 spaced from the inner wall 164 (FIG. 4 ). A portion of theactuator 188 is disposed within thecavity 208, and thebutton portion 192 extends through anopening 216 in theinner wall 164, into the handle aperture 168 (FIG. 5 ). Apressing surface 220 of thebutton portion 192 extends generally parallel with asurface 224 of theinner wall 164 surrounding theopening 216. Theactuator 188 also includes twolegs button portion 192 and the engagement portion 196 (FIG. 4 ). Thelegs cavity 208 and extend from thegrip portion 172 of thehandle 160 toward thelatch members legs handle aperture 168 and partially define anaperture 232 in theactuator 188 that surrounds thehandle aperture 168. - With continued reference to
FIG. 4 , theactuator 188 has a generally trapezoidal-shapedaperture 236 in the engagingportion 196 that receivespins 240 on therespective latch members aperture 236 act as ramp surfaces 244 that bear against thepins 240 to draw thelatch members actuator 188 moves toward the second position. A second spring member 248 (e.g., a coil spring) is disposed between thelatch members latch members pins 240 are received within aslot 250 in aguide plate 252 fixed to thehousing 104. Theguide plate 252 constrains movement of thelatch members latch members axis 256 transverse to theinsertion axis 132. Thus, the latchingarrangement 176 converts linear movement of theactuator 188 along theinsertion axis 132 into linear movement of thelatch members axis 256. - With reference to
FIG. 6 , when the latchingarrangement 176 is in a latched state, thelatch members guide rails receptacle 34, thereby inhibiting removal of thebattery pack 100 from thereceptacle 34. To unlatch thebattery pack 100, a user puts his or her fingers through theaperture 168 to grasp thegrip portion 172 of thehandle 160. Next, the user depresses thebutton portion 192 of theactuator 188 to pull theactuator 188 in the direction of arrow A, against the force of the first spring member 204 (FIG. 7 ). As theactuator 188 moves along the insertion axis 132 (and away from thelatch members FIGS. 2-7 ), thebutton portion 192 retracts into thegrip portion 172, and the ramp surfaces 244 bear against thepins 240 on thelatch members latch members axis 256, against the force of thesecond spring member 248. Accordingly, thelatch members rail arrangement 136 and disengage from thereceptacle 34. The user can then pull on thehandle 160 in the direction of arrow A to withdraw thebattery pack 100 from the receptacle 34 (FIG. 8 ). - In some embodiments, the
receptacle 34 can include an additional set of recesses (not shown) in which thelatch members FIG. 6 . In the second latched state, thebattery pack 100 can be secured to thereceptacle 34 without electric communication between thebattery pack 100 and thereceptacle 34. The second latched state can by bypassed if, for example, the user continues to maintain theactuator 188 in the second position (FIG. 7 ). - Because the
button portion 192 is easily accessible when the user grasps thegrip portion 172 of thehandle 160, the user can actuate the latchingarrangement 176 with the same hand used to grasp thehandle 160, allowing thebattery pack 100 to be unlatched and withdrawn from thereceptacle 34 with one hand. Additionally, the position of thebutton 192 allows the user to depress thebutton 192 and remove thebattery pack 100 with a single pulling motion in the removal direction A along theinsertion axis 132. Thehandle 160 also provides a convenient means to carry thebattery pack 100 when it is separated from thereceptacle 34. - In an alternative embodiment illustrated in
FIG. 9 , theactuator 188′ unlatches thebattery pack 100 by moving along theinsertion axis 132 in a direction toward thelatch members FIG. 9 , thebutton portion 192′ extends through an opening in theouter wall 212. In this embodiment, the generally trapezoidal-shapedaperture 236′ in the engagingportion 196 is arranged to actuate thelatch members button 192′ retracts into thegrip portion 172 when theactuator 188′ moves from the first position to the second position. - Various features and advantages of the invention are set forth in the following claims.
