Patent number: 10286539Abstract: A power tool includes a housing and a hook assembly. The hook assembly includes a hook support and a hook member. The hook support is rotatably attached to the housing for rotation about a first axis. The hook member has a shank portion and a hook portion. The shank portion defines a second axis that is transverse to the first axis and is configured to rotate with respect to the hook support about the second axis.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignees: Robert Bosch Tool Corporation, Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Noel Francis, Brady Groth, Marco Laubach

Patent number: 10094545Abstract: A power tool includes a working element, a motor, a motor actuator, a housing, a light emitting element, a locking element, and a switch element positioned between the housing and the locking element. The housing supports the motor, the motor actuator, and the light emitting element and movably supports the locking element. The light emitting element illuminates a work area around the working element, and the motor drives the working element when actuated by the motor actuator. The locking element enables operation of the motor actuator when in an unlocked position and prevents operation of the motor actuator when in a locked position. When in the unlocked position, the locking element operates the switch element to activate the light emitting element.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignees: Robert Bosch Tool Corporation, Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Noel Francis, Brady Groth, Marco Laubach, John DeCicco

Patent number: 9610704Abstract: A circular saw includes a motor, a blade, a blade guard, and at least one panel. The blade is attached to the motor so as to be driven by the motor during a cutting operation. The blade guard is configured to at least partially cover the blade. The blade guard includes a leading portion and a guard lower edge. The at least one panel is substantially composed of substantially transparent scratch-resistant material and is coupled to the blade guard. The at least one panel is coupled to the blade guard such that a lower edge of the panel is adjacent to the guard lower edge.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2013Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignees: Robert Bosch Tool Corporation, Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Noel Francis, Brady Groth, Marco Laubach

Patent number: 9457461Abstract: A power tool includes a housing and a hook assembly. The hook assembly includes a hook support and a hook member. The hook support is rotatably attached to the housing for rotation about a first axis. The hook member has a shank portion and a hook portion. The shank portion defines a second axis that is transverse to the first axis and is configured to rotate with respect to the hook support about the second axis. The hook portion extends in a radial direction from the shank portion. The rotation of the hook support about the first axis alters an orientation of the shank portion of the hook member with respect to the housing, and the rotation of the shank portion with respect hook support alters the radial direction of the hook portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignees: Robert Bosch Tool Corporation, Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Noel Francis, Brady Groth, Marco Laubach

Publication number: 20030178796Abstract: The quick-release chuck for a rotary power tool is provided for holding a tool bit. The chuck includes a barrel having an axial bore to receive the tool bit and an axially movable sleeve operable to position a locking member to selectively lock or release the tool bit. A proximal end of the chuck near the housing of the power tool includes a low-profile collar which holds a spring in compression against the sleeve, biasing the sleeve in a distal, locked position. The components of the chuck may advantageously be assembled in a stacked manner. The low-profile collar permits the chuck to occupy a minimal length and to be positioned with a minimal separation from the housing of the power tool for enhanced safety.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2002Publication date: September 25, 2003Inventors: Robert Pjevach, Brady Groth
