  • Electrical connection for a power tool
    Patent number: 7281591
    Abstract: A power tool (2) has a handle (6) and a tool body (4) pivotably coupled to the handle (6) by a pivot (76, 78, 102, 104). A motor (16), mechanically coupled to a rotary output (20), is housed in the tool body (4). A trigger switch (32) is housed in the handle (6). A locking mechanism is coupled with the handle and tool body. The locking mechanism enables or prevents pivotal movement of the tool body (4) relative to the handle (6). An electrical connection (36,38) between the handle (6) and the tool body (4) passes through the pivot (76,78,102,104).
