  • Patent number: 10046451
    Abstract: A power tool includes a housing and a handle having two ends moveably mounted to the housing via respective mountings, at least one mounting comprising a passageway formed in one end of the handle and a rod attached at one end to the housing. The rod's shaft axially slides within the passageway, enabling the handle end to move relative to the housing. A cavity within the handle end adjacent the passageway receives the rod, which has a second end within the cavity. A flange mounted adjacent the rod's other end within the cavity, unable to pass through the passageway, moves within the cavity relative to the passageway as the handle's end moves relative to the housing. A biasing mechanism within the cavity, between an internal wall of the cavity and the second end of the rod, biases the flange towards the passageway, and the handle end away from the housing.

  • Patent number: 9993915
    Abstract: A tool includes a housing; a handle having first and second ends mounted thereto via respective mountings, and a biasing mechanism connected between the housing and handle. At least one mounting comprises parts mounted on the housing and end of the handle respectively, one part comprising a support, the other comprising a pin having a longitudinal axis, located in the support and capable of moving linearly or being rotated therein so the handle may move accordingly. The pin is in a passage of the support having larger length than width, allowing free movement either rotationally about its axis or linearly along the length for rotational or linear movement of the end of the handle. The width size varies along the passage, providing a convex surface along at least part of the length, engageable by the pin's side to enable pivoting within the passage about an axis parallel to the length.
