Definitions

  • Oscillating power tools generally have a motor, an output shaft, and a transmission that connects the motor to the output shaft and converts rotary motion of the motor to oscillating motion of the output shaft.
  • the output shaft is coupled to an accessory attachment mechanism that is used to removably attach various types of accessories, such as cutting tools, saw blades, and sanding tools, to the output shaft.
  • Different brands of oscillating power tools tend to have different, often proprietary, accessory attachment mechanisms. It is desirable to have oscillating accessories with a universal attachment portion that can be attached to a multitude of different brands of oscillating power tools.
  • the third plurality of openings comprises radial chamfers tapering outward from the U-shaped opening to the rear end.
  • An adapter includes a generally a disc-like body with a central opening and a radial opening extending from the central opening to a periphery of the body, wherein the central opening of the body has a smaller diameter than the central opening of the fitment portion.
  • the adapter further comprises a plurality of radial slots extending from the periphery and spaced radially outward from the central opening.
  • the central opening, the first plurality of openings, and the second plurality of openings are configured to couple the fitment portion to at least three different configurations of accessory attachment mechanism on different brands of oscillating power tools.
  • an oscillating power tool and accessory in another aspect, includes a housing, a motor contained in the housing, a spindle extending from the housing, a transmission coupled to the motor and the spindle and configured to convert rotational motion of the motor to oscillating motion of the output shaft, an accessory attachment mechanism connected to the spindle for oscillating motion with the spindle, and an oscillating accessory.
  • the accessory attachment mechanism has a clamping face with a plurality of projections, and a moveable flange portion coupled to the clamping face.
  • the oscillating accessory is configured to be clamped between the clamping face and the flange portion.
  • the oscillating accessory has a working end, an opposite rear end, and a fitment portion adjacent the rear end portion.
  • a pair of arc-shaped openings 714a, 714b are not in communication with the central opening 709, and are disposed between the first and second radial openings 712a, 712b, and the second and third radial openings 712b, 712c, respectively.
  • the arc-shaped opening 714a subtends an arc of approximately 120 degrees to approximately 150 degrees relative to the U-shaped opening.
  • the arc-shaped opening 714b subtends an arc of approximately 210 degrees to approximately 240 degrees relative to the U-shaped opening.
  • the rear end portion 710 includes a third plurality of openings in the form of a pair of notches 716a, 716b that extend circumferentially from the U-shaped opening 708, and that are spaced radially outward from the central opening 709.
  • a second embodiment of an oscillating accessory 800 includes a working end 802 and a rear end 804.
  • the rear end 804 has a fitment with a plurality of openings 806 configured to couple the accessory 800 to each of the projection patterns illustrated in FIGS. 2A-2F .
  • the openings 806 include a generally U-shaped opening 808 extending from a rear end portion 810 of the accessory 800 and terminating in a generally circular central opening 809.
  • Three radial arm openings 812a-812c are in communication with and extend radially outward from the central opening 809.
  • the radial arm openings 812a-812c are positioned at angles of approximately 90 degrees, 180 degrees, and 270 degree relative to the U-shaped opening.
  • the second set of radial openings 914a-914f are configured to receive the round projections 100b, 100d, 100f, 100h of the Porter-Cable® branded power tools, and the oblong projections 300c, 300e, 300f, 300h, 300i, 300k of the Dremel®, Bosch®, Milwaukee®, and Skil® branded power tools.
  • the chamfers 916a, 916b are configured to receive and provide clearance for the oblong projections 300b, 300l of the Dremel®, Bosch®, Milwaukee@, and Skil® branded power tools. In this manner, the openings 900 can universally engage the attachment mechanism of any of the aforementioned oscillating power tools.
  • the U-shaped opening 1008 is opened at the rear end portion 1010 in order to be able to receive the support post 102 of the Porter-Cable® branded power tool.
  • the U-shaped opening 1008 is also configured to receive the central projections 202, 402, and 602 of the Fein®, Ridgid®, and Mastercraft® branded power tools, respectively.
  • the power tool 1100 includes an axially moveable clamping flange 1152 that is connected to a lever 1154 via a central rod 1156 received through the center of the clamping face 1151. Actuating the lever 1154 moves the clamping flange 1152 axially between an open or unclamped position ( FIG. 7A ) and a closed or clamped position ( FIG. 7B ) for clamping a saw blade between the flange 1152 and the clamping face 1153.
  • the power tool 1200 includes a radially expandable clamping post 1252 that is connected to a lever 1254 via a central rod received through the center of the clamping face 1251.
  • the clamping post 1252 has an enlarged end portion 1256 with a pair of semi-circular flanges 1258a, 1258b separated by a space. Actuating the lever 1254 moves the clamping flanges 1258a, 1258b between a an open or unclamped position where the flanges 1258a, 1258b are relatively close to one another ( FIG.
  • FIG. 8A to enable insertion of a saw blade, and a closed or clamped position where the flanges 1258a, 1258b are radially further apart ( FIG. 8B ) for clamping a saw blade between the flange 1258a, 1258b and the clamping face 1253.
  • an adapter 1300 may enhance the ability of the oscillating accessories 700, 800, 900, and 1000 to be coupled to the attachment mechanisms 1150, 1250, or the attachment mechanisms of other oscillating power tools.
  • the adapter includes a generally flat disc-like body 1302 having a generally circular or partially circular shape.
  • the body 1302 includes a central opening 1304 with a radial opening 1306 extending from the central opening 1304 to the periphery of the body 1302.
  • the central opening has an inner diameter D that is less than an inner diameter of the central openings 709, 809, 909, 1009 in the accessories 700, 800, 900, 1000.
  • the adapter 1300 may further include a plurality of peripheral radial slots 1308 configured to receive the plurality of projections on the clamping faces of the oscillating power tools.
  • the adapter 1300 may help couple oscillating accessory 900 to the Dremel@ MM40 Multi-Max oscillating power tool 1100.
  • the adapter 1300 is received between the oscillating accessory 900 and the flange 1152 of the clamping mechanism 1150.
  • the smaller inner diameter of the central opening 1304 of the adapter helps retain the oscillating accessory 900 on the tool 1100 by providing greater surface area for engagement by the flange 1152.
  • the projections 1153 are received in the radial openings 1308 in the adapter 1300 to prevent rotation of the adapter 1300 and accessory 900 relative to the clamping mechanism 1150.
  • the adapter 1300 helps retain the accessory 900 on the power tool 1100.
  • the adapter 1300 helps retain the accessory 900 on the power tool 1100. It should be understood that this or a similar adapter may be used to help retain any of the accessories 700, 800, 900, 1000 on any of the oscillating power tool attachment mechanisms discussed in this application, whether tool-free or not.
  • the oscillating accessory may be any type of accessory used with oscillating tool such as a cutting tool, a saw blade, or a sanding or abrading tool.
