  • Patent number: 5755293
    Abstract: A compact drill attachment or device for converting rotary drill motion to reciprocating saw action and adapted to be used in conjunction with cordless, electric and pneumatic hand held drills. A practical and extremely versatile tool to accomplish sawing results that were before inconceivable. Featuring a plurality of different reciprocal flush cut options, a plurality of entries from a power source to accomplish close quarter sawing, a blade stroke distance which exceeds the competition, a cutting stroke which is faster than the cleaning stroke, a plurality of shoe or fence settings, and which accepts major brands of reciprocal saw or jigsaw blades.

  • Patent number: 5595250
    Abstract: The drill attachment is a cordless, electric or pneumatic drill device having three (3) flush cut features which enables user to saw in a reciprocating action. A compact metal enclosure has steel bevel gears together to generate perpetual motion onto an eccentric peg to drive arm to blade. The rotation of the drill enters the tool by the removable hexagonal shaft which can be inserted into the tool at three (3) different angles depending on the task. The small bevel gear meshes with a larger bevel hub gear having an eccentric peg that is inside an elongated slot of the blade drive armature. As the small bevel gear rotates, its speed is increased by ratios in the larger bevel hub gear; the rotation of the larger bevel hub gear is converted to a linear reciprocating motion which drives the blade.

  • Patent number: 5566768
    Abstract: A cordless, electric or pneumatic drill device which enables user to saw in a reciprocating action. A compact metal enclosure having steel helical and worm gears together with eccentric peg to drive arm to blade, the rotation of the drill enters the tool by the removable hexagonal shaft which can be inserted into the tool at three (3) different angles depending on the task. The worm gear meshes with a helical gear having an eccentric peg that is inside an elongated slot of the blade drive armature. As the worm gear rotates its speed is exchanged for torque in the helical gear the rotation of the helical gear is converted to a linear reciprocating motion which drives the blade.
