  • PADDLE ASSEMBLY ON A COMPACT SANDER
    Publication number: 20180093372
    Abstract: A sander is provided and includes a housing, a power supply, a motor, a switch, and a switch actuation mechanism. The housing extends from a proximal end to a distal end and includes a first convex upper surface having a surface area A1. The power supply is coupled to the distal end of the housing. The motor is disposed within the housing and is powered by the power supply to drive an output member. The switch is in electrical communication with the power supply and is operable to selectively power the motor. The switch actuation mechanism is pivotably coupled to the proximal end of the housing and operable to actuate the switch. The switch actuation mechanism includes a second convex upper surface having a surface area A2.

  • POWER TOOL BATTERY PACK AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20160226278
    Abstract: A power tool system including at least one power tool and a battery pack selectively coupleable with the power tool. The battery pack includes a housing, at least one battery cell housed in the housing, a circuit board housed in the housing, a switch mounted on the circuit board, a button actuatable by a user to actuate the switch mounted on the circuit board and a biasing member which biases the button away from a position of actuating the switch. The biasing member is made of a non-conductive material.
