  • Publication number: 20050156390
    Abstract: Several preferred embodiments are disclosed for a tool-less blade clamping apparatus for a reciprocating tool of the type which has a reciprocating plunger which has a tool attachment receiving slot for receiving a tool attachment of the type that has a shank portion. The clamping apparatus has an unclamped position and a clamped position. In the unclamped position, a tool attachment can be easily inserted and when it is in its clamped position, the tool attachment is securely retained. The preferred embodiments have at least one spring biasing the apparatus toward the clamped position, a releasable retaining mechanism for holding the apparatus in its unclamped position after being placed in that position. When the blade shank portion is inserted into the slot a predetermined distance, the shoulders of the shank portion release the retaining mechanism to move it to its clamped position.

  • Patent number: 6362416
    Abstract: A hot swap tray having a housing adapted to be slidably inserted in a rack. The tray includes an electromagnetic shield member mounted for rotation about an axis traversing the sliding direction of the tray. The shield has a resting state in which the shield presents a first dimension in a plane traversing the sliding direction and a deflected state in which the shield presents a second dimension in the plane, the first dimension being greater than the second dimension. The shield is actuated on insertion of the tray into the rack to move from the resting state to the deflected state so that the shield clears adjacent shields located within the rack and from the deflected state to the resting state so that the shield engages the adjacent shields.
