Abstract
A quick-release connector assembly includes a tip including a plug, a depressible member proximate the plug, and a biasing element upwardly biasing the member; and a base having a receiver and an aperture, the receiver being complementary to the plug, the base further including a connector section configured to secure a tool. The tip is releasably lockable to the base by the insertion of the plug into the receiver and the extension of the member through the aperture, and when the tip is locked with the base, the base is prohibited from rotating relative to the tip.
Description
- The invention relates generally to a connector assembly for a tool and handle.
- Flow through tools typically include an extension pole having a hose connected at a first pole end and a tool connected at a second pole end. Alternatively, flow through tools include a tool directly connected to a hose. Liquid is delivered through the pole and/or hose and into the tool. The tool can be any suitable tool for dispensing water including but not limited to a watering wand, a brush, and a mop. Such tools deliver the liquid to a surface so that the surface can easily be watered, rinsed, washed, painted, or the like.
- In general, two methods have been used to ensure that the tool is secured to the pole. In a first example, the tool is integral with the pole, i.e., the tool and pole are manufactured as a single article. This construction is deficient in that it does not allow the user to replace the tool on the pole.
- In a second example, the pole can include a threaded element or similar structure at its second end such that the tool can be removably attached to the pole. While this addresses the disadvantage noted above, the tool may rotate relative to the pole due to the forces applied to the tool during use. Further, it is difficult to properly align the tool angle relative to the pole when typical threaded engagements are used. The user must turn the tool onto the pole until a water-tight connection is achieved. However, this may not result in a proper orientation of the tool relative to the pole, especially if the tool has been overtightened several times.

FIG. 11 depicts a perspective view of an additional alternate example of a quick release assembly. - Referring now to
FIG. 1 , an exploded view of animplement 20 is shown. Theimplement 20 includes anextension pole 22, aquick release assembly 24, and atool 26. Theextension pole 22 is exemplified as an elongate, hollow tube with an inner flow-throughchannel 28 extending throughout its length. Thepole 22 has arear end 30 and afront end 32 and generally extends along a longitudinal axis X. A liquid source such as a hose (not shown) can be attached to thepole 22 at therear end 30 in order to introduce liquid into thepole 22 such that it can flow from therear end 30 through theinner channel 28 to thefront end 32. While apole 22 is shown here, the quick release assembly may alternatively be directly connected to a hose. - The
quick release assembly 24 includes atip 34 and abase 36. Thetip 34 has afront section 38 and arear section 40. Therear section 40 of thetip 34 can be inserted into thefront end 32 of the pole 22 (or directly into a hose) and is thereby secured to thepole 22. In this example, therear section 40 is T-shaped to match the T-shaped channel in thepole 22, but thepole 22 andtip 34 can use other complementary cross sections. Such a T-section configuration is beneficial however, in that it can help to prevent rotation of thepole 22 relative to thetip 34. Thetip 34 may be attached to thepole 22 in several ways, including but not limited to adhesives, screws, rivets, and crimping. As will be discussed in greater detail herein, abutton assembly 42 is disposed in thefront section 38 of thetip 34. - The
base 36 includes a receivingportion 44, anaperture 46, and a threadedplug 48. Thereceiving portion 44 has a profile that matches thefront section 38 of thetip 34. As will be more clearly described herein, thebase 36 andtip 34 can be connected to form thequick release assembly 24 by inserting thefront section 38 of thetip 34 into thereceiving portion 44 of thebase 36 along the longitudinal axis X. Thebutton assembly 42 extends through theaperture 46, thereby preventing separation of thetip 34 andbase 36. To remove thebase 36 from thetip 34, thebutton assembly 42 is depressed downwardly, and thetip 34 is pulled out from thebase 36. - The
tool 26 shown inFIG. 1 is a brush head that includes anattachment section 50, a body 52, and a set ofbristles 54 extending outwardly from the body 52. Thebrush head 26 can be coupled to thebase 36 by turning theattachment section 50, which includes grooves (not shown) on the interior surface thereof for receiving the threads of the threadedplug 48 of thebase 36. Alternatively, thebrush head 26 can be coupled to thebase 36 by adhesive bonding or integral manufacture of thebrush 26 andbase 36. Further, other tools can be used including but not limited to water wands, spray nozzles, brushes, and squeegees. When alternate tools are needed, the releasable locking mechanism permits a quick and easy release of one tool, and the addition of a new tool. - As described in further detail below, both the
tip 34 includes aninner channel 35 and the base 36 include aninner channel 37 extending the length of the respective part. Further, thebrush 26 or other tool can include a similar inner channel 39. In use of the implement 20, the liquid source directs a liquid through theinner channel 28 of thepole 22, through thechannel 35 of thetip 34, through thechannel 37 of thebase 36, through the channel 39 of thebrush 26 and onto thebristles 54. The liquid on thebristles 54 can then be used to wash, rinse, or paint a surface. The liquid can be water, paint, liquid soap, or any other liquid. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , a detail view of an alternative quick release assembly 60 is shown. The quick release assembly 60 is identical to thequick release assembly 24 except for the features specifically noted herein. The assembly 60 includes atip 62 and abase 64. Thetip 62 includes a rear section 66 with arear end 68 and a front section 70 with afront end 72. The front section 70 is attached to the rear section 66 at a shoulder 74. The rear section 66 of thetip 62 is cylindrical in shape, and not T-shaped as shown inFIG. 1 . The cylindrical shape of the rear section 66 allows it to be attached to a pole, or directly to a liquid source having a circular flow through channel such as a hose. The rear section 66 includes acircumferential groove 76 in which a gasket (not shown) can be disposed. The gasket helps to provide a water-tight seal between the pole or hose and thetip 62. - The front section 70 is a plug 78 including a top piece 80 and a
bottom piece 82. The top piece 80 generally has the shape of a paralleleipiped, while thebottom piece 82 has a generally cylindrical shape. The top piece 80 includes abutton assembly 84 that allows thetip 62 to be releasably locked to thebase 64. Thebutton assembly 84 includes abutton 86 that is biased by a biasing element, here a spring (seeFIG. 1 ), to an extended position away from the longitudinal axis X. As exemplified, thebutton 86 includes a slopedfront side 88 and a generally verticalrear side 90. - An
inner channel 92 extends from thefront end 72 to therear end 68 of thetip 62. Theinner channel 92 allows fluid to flow through thetip 62 from the pole (or other liquid source) to thebase 64. Theinner channel 92 is disposed in thebottom piece 82 of the front section 70. - The
base 64 includes arear section 94 with arear end 96. A receivingsection 98 is disposed in therear section 94 of thebase 64 and has a shape substantially similar to that of the plug 78 of thetip 62, with arectangular section 100 and acircular section 102. Thereceiver 98 defines anupper boundary 104. Anaperture 106 extends through the base 64 from thereceiver 98. Theaperture 104 is sized and shaped to receive thebutton 86. - The complementary shapes of the tip plug 78 and the
base receiver 98 allows the plug 78 to be inserted into thereceiver 98. Thedepressible button 86, in its normal biased position, extends to a height above that of theupper boundary 104 of thereceiver 98. During insertion of thetip 62 into thebase 64, a user may manually depress thebutton 86 while pushing thetip 62 andbase 64 together along the longitudinal axis X. Alternatively, the user may simply insert the plug 78 of thetip 62 into thereceiver 64, and allow the force of theupper boundary 104 against the slopedfront side 88 of thebutton 86 to automatically depress thebutton 86 as the plug 78 is inserted into thereceiver 98. - Upon complete insertion of the plug 78 of the
tip 62 into thereceiver 98 of thebase 64, thedepressible button 86 extends through theaperture 106 under the force of the spring. In other words, thebutton 86 “snaps-up” through theaperture 106. Thebutton 86 releasably locks thetip 62 andbase 64 together and thereby prevents separation of these components. To disassemble thetip 62 from thebase 64, a user may simply depress thebutton 86 while simultaneously pulling thetip 62 andbase 64 apart in opposite directions. - The depth of insertion of the plug 78 into the
receiver 98 may be limited by the engagement of therear end 96 of the base 64 with the shoulder 74 of thetip 62. Such frictional contact may also help to stabilize the connection of thetip 62 relative to thebase 64. Additionally or alternatively, the depth of insertion can be limited by thedepressible button 86 on thetip 62 and theaperture 106. - While the plug 78 in this example includes a top piece 80 and a
bottom piece 82, the plug 78 can generally be any non-circular shape as such shapes prevent rotation of the plug 78 relative to thebase 64. For example, the plug 78 can be triangular, rectangular, octagonal, or any other non-circular shape. The plug 78 could also be generally circular with certain other elements disposed thereon to prevent rotation, such as a keyway or wings. Such configurations are considered to be non-circular. In each of the above examples, the plug 78 and thereceiver 98 have complementary shapes such that the plug 78 can be inserted into thereceiver 98 and rotation is prevented between the plug 78 thereceiver 98. Additionally, unlike conventional threaded attachment mechanisms, thetip 62 and the base 64 do not loosen when a torque is applied about the longitudinal axis to one or more of the tip and the base. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , aquick release assembly 110 is shown in cross-section view. Thequick release assembly 110 is the same as the quick release assembly 60 in form and function except as specifically noted herein. Thequick release assembly 110 includes atip 112 and abase 114. Thetip 112 includes afront section 116 with afront end 118 and arear section 120 with arear end 122. Anannular rib 124 is disposed on thefront end 118. Aninner channel 126 extends in longitudinal direction X along the length of thetip 112 from therear end 120 to thefront end 116. - The
front section 116 includes abutton assembly 128 generally similar to the button assemblies previously described. Thebutton assembly 128 includes adepressible button 130 with afront side 132 and aback side 134. However, thebutton 130 does not have a sloped front side likebutton 84. Instead, thefront side 132 is generally vertical. Theback side 134 is generally vertical. Thebutton 130 has at its base aflange 136 extending outwardly. Thebutton assembly 128 also includes aspring 138 that provides an upwardly biasing force (i.e., +y-axis) on thebutton 130. Acollar 140 havingedges 142 can be press-fit into thetip 112 to trap thebutton 130 in thetip 112 by engaging theflanges 136 of thebutton 130. Alternatively, thecollar 140 may be an integral part of thetip 112 which is formed with thetip 112 in a molding process or a machining process. Thebutton collar 140 may also be an extruded undercut in thetip 112 that prevents thebutton 130 from “popping out” of place. - Similar to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , thebase 114 includes areceiver 144 that accepts thetip 112. Thebase receiver 144 defines anupper boundary 146, and atapered surface 148 extends downwardly from theupper boundary 146. Similar to the previously described quick release assemblies, and as best shown inFIG. 3 , thebase 114 includes aninner channel 150 extending forward from thereceiver 144. Agasket 152 can be disposed on the end of theinner channel 150 in thereceiver 144 to ensure that liquid flow though theinner channel 150 of thequick release assembly 110 does not leak into thereceiver 144 of thebase 114. As in the previously described bases, thebase 114 includes anaperture 154. - During insertion of the
tip 112 into thebase 114, thetapered surface 148 provides a contact interface with thebutton 130 of less than ninety-degrees. Such a lessened angle of interface allows the taperedsurface 148 to automatically depress thebutton 130 when the user pushes thetip 112 andbase 114 together along the longitudinal axis X. However, when thetip 112 is coupled to thebase 114, and thebutton 130 is extended in the aperture 154 (seeFIG. 4 ), theback side 134 of the button is generally parallel with a back-end 156 of theaperture 154 such that thebutton 130 is prevented from being automatically depressed when thetip 112 andbase 114 experience a separating force along the longitudinal axis X. Preferably, separation of thetip 112 from thebase 114 includes the user depressing thebutton 130 while simultaneously applying a separating force on thetip 112 andbase 114 along the longitudinal axis X. - Upon coupling the
tip 112 to thebase 114, thefront section 116 of thetip 112 is inserted into and locked in thereceiver 144 of thebase 114. Theannular rib 124 on thefront end 118 of thetip 112 bears against thegasket 152 in thereceiver 144 of the base 114 such that theinner channel 126 of thetip 112 is in fluid communication with theinner channel 150 of thebase 114. Specifically, any fluid flowing through theinner channel 126 of thetip 112 will flow through theinner channel 150 of thebase 114 without any of the fluid leaking into thereceiver 144. Thus, it is typically desirable for thefront section 116 of thetip 112 to fit snugly in thereceiver 144. -
FIG. 5 illustrates aquick release tip 160, which includes a front section 162 and arear section 164. Therear section 164 may be any shape to fit a pole or hose. The front section 162 includes a first button 166 and a second button 168. Such atip 160 requires a base (not shown) with a receiver that includes two apertures through which the first and second buttons can extend. While two buttons 166, 168 are shown, thetip 160 can include any number of buttons around the periphery of the tip. -
FIGS. 6A and 6B illustrate aquick release tip 170, which includes afront section 172, arear section 174, and aninner channel 176 extending the entire length. Similar to the embodiments previously described, therear section 174 may be any shape to fit a pole or hose. Thefront section 172 includes abottom piece 178 and atop piece 180. Thetop piece 180 includes abutton assembly 182 that functions generally similarly to the previous examples. Thebutton assembly 182 includes abutton 184 that is biased upwardly by aspring 186. Thebutton assembly 182 further includes ahinge 188 at itsback side 190. Thebutton 184 includes a flange 192, and thetop piece 180 includes aretention post 194 that engages the flange 192 so that thespring 186 maintains thebutton 184 in the extended position shown inFIGS. 6A and 6B . As can be seen inFIG. 6B , thetop piece 180 and thebottom piece 178 create a non-circular profile for thefront section 172 that, when inserted into a coordinated receiver of a base, restrict rotation between thetip 170 and a base. To remove thetip 170 from a base, the user an depress thebutton 184 as in previous examples. -
FIG. 7 illustrates a further example of aquick release tip 200, which includes afront section 202 and arear section 204. Similar to the embodiments previously described, therear section 204 may be any shape to fit a pole or hose. Instead of a button assembly, the front section in this example includes a projectingtab 206 attached by astrip 208. Thestrip 208 may be made of a flexible material such that thestrip 208 acts as a spring and the projectingtab 206 can pivot about thestrip 208 and return to its extended position upon the release of any force upon the projectingtab 206. In an example, thestrip 208 can be a thermoplastic polymer. In another example, theentire tip 200 can be made from such a polymer. - Referring now to
FIGS. 8A and 8B , perspective view and a side section view of aquick release tip 210, respectively, are shown. The tip inFIG. 8A is coupled to anextension pole 211. As in some of the previously described embodiments, thetop piece 212 on thefront section 214 includes acollar 216 that engages theflanges 218 of thebutton 220 to capture thebutton 220. However, aside rail 222 of thecollar 216 is slidably removable in a side groove 224 in thecollar 216. Accordingly, thebutton assembly 228 can be assembled by removing theside rail 222, inserting thebutton 220 andspring 230 with theflanges 218 under thecollar 216, and replacing theside rail 222. Theside rail 222 can be held in place by an interference snap-fit engagement, a suitable retention bracket (not shown), an adhesive bond (in which case it would not be removable), or other known methods. - Similarly,
FIGS. 9A and 9B illustrate a perspective view and a front section view of aquick release tip 240, respectively. In this exemplified quick release tip, afront rail 242 is removable from thecollar 244. In all other repsects, it is similar to thequick release tip 210 shown inFIGS. 8A and 8B . -
FIGS. 10A and 10B illustrate a perspective view and a side section view of aquick release assembly 250. A base 252 may include afront section 254 with afront end 256 and arear section 258 with arear end 260.FIGS. 10A and 10B illustrate therear section 258 attached to apole 262. In this example, thefront end 256 of the base 252 may include areceiver 264. A button assembly 266 is generally disposed in thereceiver 264 and includes abutton 268, acollar 270 capturing thebutton 268, a spring 272 biasing thebutton 268 toward the longitudinal axis X, and atab 274 connected to thebutton 268. The user may pull thetab 274 away from the longitudinal axis X against the force of the spring 272 to move thebutton 268 in a similar direction, thereby permitting the removal of thetip 276 from thebase 252. - The
tip 276 includes arear section 278 sized and shaped to be inserted into thereceiver 264. Therear section 278 has arear end 280 and aninner channel 282 extending throughout its length, and includes aplug 284 with an engagement ledge 286 and aplatform 288. Theplatform 288 and the engagement ledge 286 each have aflat surface gasket 294 is disposed on therear end 280 surrounding theinner channel 282. - When the
tip 276 is assembled to thebase 252, thebutton 268 extends toward the longitudinal axis X, with thebutton 268 bearing against theplatform 288 past the engagement ledge 286. Accordingly, the engagement ledge 286 bearing against the rear side of thebutton 268 restricts thetip 276 from moving longitudinally relative to thebase 252. Further, theflat surface 290 of the engagement ledge 286 bears against a flatinternal surface 296 of thereceiver 264, and theflat surface 292 of theplatform 288 bears against thebutton 268. These interactions restrict thetip 276 from rotating relative to thebase 252. - To separate the
tip 276 from thebase 252, a user pulls up on thetab 274 away from the longitudinal axis X which raises thebutton 268 above the engagement ledge 286. Theassembly 250 may then separate when the user pulls thebase 252 andtip 276 in opposite directions of the longitudinal axis X. -
FIG. 11 illustrates a perspective view of an additional example of an implement 300 with atip 308 and abase 310. Thetip 308 is connected to anextendible pole 304 that is fully described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. ______, the contents of which are included herein by reference. Thepole 304 is sealed on its rear end by ahandle 306, and therefore does not allow a liquid such as paint, water or other liquid to be introduced into and flow through its interior as in the previous examples. - The
tip 308 and the base 310 are constructed similarly as inFIG. 2 , except that neither thetip 308 nor the base 310 includes an inner channel. While, of course, thetip 308 and the base 310 can include inner channels as in previous examples, it is not required because thepole 304 in this example has no provision to allow a liquid to flow through its interior to thetip 308 and base 310 (due to the sealing by the handle 306). - A
paint roller 312 is shown integrally connected to the base 310 inFIG. 11 , but other tools can be used with the implement 300. Thebase 310 and thepaint roller 312 can be secured to and removed from thetip 308 as in previous examples. After thebase 310 is removed from thetip 308, a second base (not shown) similar to the base 310 can then be disposed on thetip 308. The second base can have a different type of tool such as a paint brush (not shown) attached to it. Furthermore, a base similar tobase 310 with virtually any type of tool attached to it could be disposed on thetip 308 and used. For example, in addition to the already mentioned paint roller and paint brush, other tools such as a broom, squeegee, pik, other kinds of brushes, and the like can be connected to a base and used. Thus, the implement 300 allows for the quick interchangeability of tools. - A variety of materials may be used to manufacture the quick release tip and the base including but not limited to die cast zinc, aluminum, stainless steel, and a variety of thermoplastic resins. Thermoplastic polymers such as, for example, polyesters, nylons, polypropylenes, and mixtures thereof are specific materials that can be used to fabricate the tip and the base.
- Although the foregoing text sets forth a detailed description of numerous different embodiments of a quick-tip system, the scope of coverage of this patent is not limited thereto. On the contrary, the detailed description is to be construed as exemplary only and does not describe every embodiment of a quick-tip system.
