  • Patent number: 7395876
    Abstract: A drill/driver (2) includes first (32) and second (52) drive shaft.

A shaft lock (56) is provided to enable the user to selectively lock either or both of the shafts (32, 52) against rotation about their respective axes.

  • Patent number: 7226346
    Abstract: A belt sander (2) comprising a housing (4) and having a lower sanding surface (40) and an upper sanding surface (42) opposite the first sanding is disclosed. The sander has a larger rear roller (32) driven by a motor (22), a front roller (34) of smaller diameter than the rear roller, and an endless sanding belt (38). A guard (48) is pivotable between a lowered position preventing access to the upper sanding surface and a raised position allowing access to the upper sanding surface. A handle (12) on the housing is pivotable between a first handle position adjacent the upper sanding surface and at least one second handle position further from the upper sanding surface than the first handle position.

  • Patent number: 7207233
    Abstract: A mechanism comprises an input shaft (11) and an output shaft (32) which are co-planar. Between the input shaft and output shaft is an axis (20) orthogonal to both shafts about which mounting brackets (30) holding the input and output shafts may pivot. This permits an angular adjustment between the input and output shaft within the same plane.
