  • Patent number: 7806953
    Abstract: A manually guided implement having a tool driven by an internal combustion engine, which draws combustion air in via an air filter disposed on an air filter base. The air filter is secured to the implement via a releasable securement device that includes a first securement element, and a second securement element that cooperates with the first securement element. The securement elements can be released from one another, or connected to one another, by means of a rotational movement about an axis of rotation. To achieve easy handling of the air filter, the first securement element is fixedly connected to the air filter.

  • Patent number: 7465328
    Abstract: An improved dust collector for a power tool is employed. The dust collector includes a body portion, a neck portion and a head portion, wherein the body portion is disposable on the power tool so that during the cutting operation the body portion will receive and direct the air, dust, and debris to the head portion via the neck portion to either be exhausted out or to be collected in a dust collection volume. Preferably, the body portion has a series of openings to allow the user to view the cutting wheel during the cutting operation. The body portion may also have an internal directional member for efficiently directing the flow of air, dust, and debris. The head portion is preferably rotatably connected to the neck portion to allow the user to rotate the head portion to a desired position.

  • Patent number: 6000888
    Abstract: A pneumatic impact power tool has a tool body with a bit-receiving axial bore in its end surface. A cap is threaded on the end of the tool body and has an end wall spaced from the end surface to define a cavity and a lobed opening in the cavity matably receiving a like-lobed bit shank, the cavity being dimensioned to accommodate the lobes. Spring-biased balls project into the cavity from radial bores in the end cap to engage the shank lobes and bias them to a rotational position non-aligned with the opening lobes to inhibit removal. The cavity is dimensioned to afford a slight axial clearance to accommodate axial movement of the lobes. A cover on the end cap is recessed to receive the bias springs, retaining both the springs and the cover in place. The end cap has a annular channel communicating with an exhaust passage in the tool body and four exhaust ports in the end wall.
