Patent number: 11075531Abstract: Embodiments herein describe methods and systems for controlling the power state of a tool. A tool is placed into an active mode upon initial power up, as typically indicated by one or more indicators. The tool is automatically placed into an inactive mode upon the expiration of a timer, if the tool motor was not activated. If the tool is activated, such as by pressing the tool switch, prior to expiration of the timer, the timer resets. A display is provided to signal the user as to the current active status and/or current mode of the tool.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2019Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Oregon Tool, Inc.Inventors: Edgar A.

Patent number: 9890821Abstract: Embodiments of clutches for electric tools, and related methods, are disclosed herein. An electric tool may include an electric motor, a drive shaft coupled between the electric motor and a cutting instrument, and a clutch coupled between the electric motor and the drive shaft. The clutch may include a motor portion having an exterior surface, a drive shaft portion having an exterior surface and forming a mated assembly when mated with the motor portion, and a spring around the motor and drive shaft portions. The spring may exert a holding force on the mated assembly, such that rotation of the motor portion in a first direction loosens the spring and reduces the friction holding force until a torque between the motor and drive shaft portions exceeds the holding force, causing rotation of the motor portion to be decoupled from rotation of the drive shaft portion.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Blount, Inc.Inventors: Edgar A. Dallas, Evan Pickett
