International Classification:

B25F 1/00
B25F 1/04

Abstract:

A multi-tool () includes a power head () including a power head housing () having a handle () operably coupled thereto, a tool attachment () configured to perform a work function, the tool attachment () being alternately separable from and operably coupled to the power head (), a motor () disposed in the power head housing (), a battery () configured to be operably coupled to the motor () to selectively power the motor (), a power head mating interface () including structures disposed at the power head () for defining a physical mating assembly, a drive power transfer assembly and an electronic assembly, and a tool mating interface () including structures disposed at a housing of the tool attachment () for defining the physical mating assembly, the drive power transfer assembly and the electronic assembly. The structures disposed at the power head () and the structures disposed at the housing of the tool attachment () for defining the physical mating assembly are configured to contact each other before the structures disposed at the power head () and the structures disposed at the housing of the tool attachment () for defining the drive power transfer assembly contact each other responsive to operably coupling of the power head mating interface () to the tool mating interface (). The structures disposed at the power head () and the structures disposed at the housing of the tool attachment () for defining the drive power transfer assembly are configured to contact each other before the structures disposed at the power head () and the structures disposed at the housing of the tool attachment () for defining the electronic assembly contact each other responsive to operably coupling of the power head mating interface () to the tool mating interface ().

Abstract:

A multi-tool () includes a power head () including a power head housing () having a handle () operably coupled thereto, a tool attachment () configured to perform a work function, the tool attachment () being alternately separable from and operably coupled to the power head (), a motor () disposed in the power head housing (), a battery () configured to be operably coupled to the motor () to selectively power the motor (), a drive provider portion () disposed at the power head (), and a drive receiver portion () disposed at the tool attachment (). The drive provider portion () includes a driving portion () of a shaft () operably coupled to the motor (), and the drive receiver portion () includes a driven portion () of the shaft (). The driving portion (), the drive receiver portion (), and the motor () share a common axis (). The power head () receives the battery () at an opposite end of the power head housing () relative to an end of the power head housing () at which the motor () is located, and the handle () extends from a first portion of the power head housing () above the motor () to a second portion of the power head housing () above the battery ().

International Classification:

F02B 63/02

US Classification:

123343, 29446

Abstract:

An outdoor power tool may include an engine, a carburetor configured to provide a fuel and air mixture to the engine based on operation of a throttle assembly, a selector and a throttle release actuator. The selector may be operably coupled to the throttle assembly to control a position of the throttle assembly in a selected one of a plurality of throttle positions. One of the throttle positions may be an idle position and each of the other throttle positions may be selectable by an operator via manual positioning of the selector. The throttle release actuator may be configured to return the selector from any one of the throttle positions to the idle position responsive to operator actuation of the throttle release actuator.
