  • PATENTEI JAN 81974
  • This invention relates to portable power tools (such as for example, drills, screwdrivers, rivet applicators).
  • the broad object of the invention is to provide a new or improved power tool having a pair of holders for different types or sizes of work implement whereby a selected implement can be used as desired followed by change over to another type or size of implement without having to remove one implement and replace it in its holder with another one as is the case with the generally known conventional forms of power tools which have only one holder for the working implement.
  • a conventional electric drill when it is desired to perform a drilling operation followed by a countersinking operation the working implement, namely the drill bit, has to be changed for a different type of Working implement namely the countersinking bit after the hole has been drilled.
  • two separate tools such as for example in the inserting of self tapping screws where one tool is used to drill the hole and another tool is used to insert the screw.
  • a power tool comprising a body, two holders for work implements mounted in or on said body in opposed relationship so that the implement in one holder is presented in a direction directly opposite to the direction in which the implement in the other holder is presented, power means in or on the body for supplying the motive power to each of the holders, guard means on the body for effectively guarding the implement not in use when the other implement is being used and means for moving the holders relatively to the guard means to bring one of the holders into its operating position while the other holder is in a position where its implement is within the region of protection of the guard means.
  • a preferred form of power means is a generally known form of air motor which is driven from a source of compressed air and which can be easily housed within the body of the tool or within a handle projecting from the body.
  • the body is of generally cylindrical configuration and has a handle projecting transversely frome one side thereof, the handle also being of a generally cylindrical form and providing a housing for the accommodation of the air motor and its associated gearing.
  • the output shaft from the air motor may project into the body of the tool and the work implement holders may be mounted on either side of said power output shaft so as to be directly aligned within the body and each holder may have a rotary shaft for supplying the motive power to its work implement and conveniently the two shafts may be arranged in axial alignment and may both be driven directly by suitable gearing from the output shaft of the air motor.
  • the body may comprise an outer casing which at its ends includes guard means for the work implements and an inner casing within which inner casing the aforesaid holders are mounted, the arrangement being that the outer casing is slidable upon the inner casing so that when relative sliding movement takes place between the outer and inner casings in one direction one of the work implements is projected beyond its associated guard means and the other work implement is withdrawn within its associated guard means.
  • the handle which houses the air motor is also of cylindrical form and is arranged so as to project at right angles from thebody and rack and pinion form of gearing may be provided between the outer housing of the handle and the outer casing of the body whereby rotation of the outer casing of the body relative to the outer housing of the handle causes an axial displacement of the outer casing of the body relatively to the inner casing thereof thus causing movement of the respective guard means in relation to the work implements guarded thereby.
  • an air motor for driving the shafts of both work holders may be mounted within a generally cylindrical body which itself is mounted for rotation upon a handle about an axis at right angles to the axis of the cylindrical body and the handle may have fixed thereon a projecting guard means, the arrangement being that the body may be swung through so as to bring one work implement out of the region and protection of the guard means into an operating position whilst moving the other work implement back into the region of'protection of the guard means.
  • the body may be of generally cylindrical form, housing a motor and gearing for driving the holder arranged in axial alignment, the body being mounted for rotation upon a handle about an axis at right angles to the axis of the cylindrical body and there being provided at each end of the body a two-part guard comprising a first sleeve fixed to the body and a second sleeve telescopically engaged with the first sleeve so as to be movable between a fully extended position in which it guards its associated work implement and a retracted position in which it exposes the implement.

  • two rotary work implements such as, for example, a drill for drilling a hole in metal sheet and a screwdriver bit for driving a self-tapping screw into such drilled hole.
  • the body of the tool comprises the outer casing 10 which at each end has screwed thereon the guard means indicating at 11 and 12.
  • the outer casing is of generally cylindrical form with the outer end portions of the guards members 11 and 12 being tapered to generally frusto-conical form and each having an open end through which the associated w'ork implement can project.
  • the body further comprises a cylindrical inner casing 13 and the arrangement is such that the outer casing can slide freely in the axial direction upon the inner casing 13.
  • a handle Projecting at right angles to the axis of the body at one side thereof is a handle generally indicated at 14 and comprising an outer cylindrical housing 15 within which is housed a known form of air motor with its associated gearing indicated at 16.
  • the output shaft 17 from the air motor 16 projects through an opening into the space within the inner casing 13 and has fixed thereon a first bevel gear 18 and a second bevel gear 19.
  • the body comprising outer casing 10 and inner casing 13 can rotate relative to the handle about the central axis of outer housing 15.
  • Fixed to the outer housing 15 of the handle is a gear wheel 20 and this meshes with a toothed rack 21 which is fixed to the outer casing 10 of the body.
  • Two work implement holders 22 and 23 are mounted fixedly within the inner casing 13 and each has rotatably mounted therein its appropriate driving shaft for providing the rotary motion required to operate its associated work element and in the particular example shown the holder 22 is the type adapted to take a drill bit 24 whilst the holder 23 is the type adapted to take a screwdriver bit 25, the screwdriver bit being spring loaded axially in known manner so that it is not con nected to its rotary drive shaft until axial pressure has been applied to engage the screwdriver bit with a screw whereupon the screwdriver bit moves axially against the spring pressure and the drive is connected from its drive shaft.
  • the drive shaft of holder 22 has a bevel gear 26 fixed at its inner end and in mesh with the bevel gear 19 on the output shaft 17 from the air motor and the drive shaft of holder 23 has a bevel gear 27 at its inner end and in mesh with the other bevel gear 18 on the output shaft from the air motor.
  • the arrangement of the gearing is such that the gearing 19, 26, provides a high speed drive to the drill bit whereas the gearing 18, 27 provides a reduced speed drive to the screwdriver bit.
  • the position of the tool as shown in FIG. 1 is for the operation of the drill bit with the gear 20 along at the left hand end of the rack 21, as seen in the drawing, with the result that the outer casing 10 has been slidden to the right, as seen in the drawing, so as to bring the guard 11 back and clear of the drill bit 24 which is projecting from the open end of the guard.
  • the gear 20 at the extreme right hand end of the rack 21 the guard 12 would be drawn back and the screwdriver bit would be projecting from the open end of the guard 12 (as shown in FIG. 4.).
  • the rack and pinion gearing 20, 21 causes relative movement between the inner and outer casings of the body and thus a movement of the outer casing 10 between the limits imposed by the length of the rack 21 to expose one or the other of the work implements of the tool.
  • Trigger means for operating the tool and also providing a form of safety lock are shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 and hereinafter described.
  • an air hose can be connected to the lower end of the handle 14 and within the end portion 28 of the air motor there is provided a valve mechanism for controlling the supply of compressed air to the motor. (see FIG. 3).
  • a trigger for operating the tool is mounted upon the handle 14 at a position approximately just below midway between the ends of the handle, the trigger being in the form of a bar 29 which is pivotally mounted about an axis 30 which is at right angles to the axis of the handle and the bar extending substantially from top to bottom of the handle.
  • this bar 29 engages with a U" shaped yoke 31 which slides in the generally horizontal plane (assuming the handle to be held vertically), between spaced apart flanges 32 on the portion 28 of the air motor and one side or the other side of this U" yoke, (depending on whether the tool is set for drilling or screwdriving), is used to operate plunger mechanism 33 for opening and closing the air inlet valve 34 to the motor.
  • the rack 21 (see FIG. 2) is for-med upon one face of an elongated aperture in a plate 35 which is secured to the underside of the outer casing 10 of the body.
  • the gear 20 can travel along this aperture during movement from one end of the rackto the other.
  • the plate 35 has a slot 36 extending in the axial direction of the body.
  • the bar 29 forming the trigger has a projecting nose 37 which is adapted to engage within one or the other of the aforesaid end slots 36 and the bar 29 forming the trigger is acted upon above and below its pivotal axis by springs 38 and 39 which are arranged to normally hold the bar in a position in which the nose 37 at its upper end is engaging within the entrance of one of the aforesaid slots 36 and the yoke 31 at the lower end is in a position in which the valve mechanism 33, 34 controlling the inlet of air to the motor is in the closed position. (This position of nose 37 is shown in full lines in FIG. 2.).
  • the tool in a safe position with the air to the motor cut off and the outer casing of the body 10 locked in relation to the handle 14 so that it cannot be turned from one position to the other.
  • the trigger is now pressed at its upper end, that is the end nearest the body, then the lower end moves away from the handle and this outwards movement of the yoke 31 operates the valve mechanism to admit air to the air motor and thus drive whichever implement is projecting from the end of the body.
  • the trigger bar When the trigger bar is released it moves back into the position in which the air supply is cut off and in which the nose at the top of the trigger bar is still engaging within the slot 36 so as to prevent any movement of the body in relation to the handle.
  • this nose is engaged to the full extent within such slot preventing any possibility of movement between the body and the handle. (The position of nose 37 shown in dotted lines on the right in FIG. 2.).
  • the trigger bar is now grasped at its lower end and pivoted so that its lower end moves in towards the handle and its upper end outwardly so that the nose on the upper end is disengaged from the aforesaid slot 36, (see dotted line position of nose 37 on left side in .FIG. 2.), and then the outer casing can be rotated through 180 to cause relative traverse between the gear 20 and rack 21 to bring the other work implement into the operative condition in which it is projecting beyond its guard. Having reached this position release of the trigger bar causes it to return to its neutral position in which the nose at the top of the trigger bar again engages in the entrance of the other slot 36 and locks the body from movement in relation to the handle.
  • the aforesaid end slots are such that one side of the slot is longer than the other, (see FIG. 2), the longer side thus forming a stop against which the nose 37 at the top of the trigger bar engages after there has been movement through 180 so thatthe two positionsof the body in relation to the handle are determined by the longer sides of the aforesaid slots.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show a further embodiment of the invention, being a somewhat simpler form of tool.
  • the body 40 of the tool is of generally cylindrical form with the air motor (not shown) for providing the drive mounted within such body substantially at the mid position thereof and having an extension of its shaft at both ends so that one end can provide a drive to one tool holder 41 and the other end can provide a drive to the other tool holder 42 with the tool holders being mounted at opposite ends of the cylindrical body 40.
  • a pistol grip type of handle generally indicated at 43 is provided, connected to the intermediate portion 44 of the body and the body is mounted on the handle so that it can be swivelled through 180 about an axis which is normal to its own axis upon a suitable bearing pedestal 45 provided between the pistol grip handle 43 and the body portion 44.
