Abstract: An example hammer disclosed herein includes a handle. The hammer also includes a head comprising a neck. The neck has a tapered receiving surface and an end face. The hammer further includes a cap comprising a tapered mounting surface. The mounting surface is surrounding and engaging the receiving surface to permanently affix the cap to the neck. A first circumference of engagement at a first end of a length of engagement between the mounting surface and the receiving surface is greater than a second circumference of engagement at a second end of the length of engagement. The first end is farther from the end face of the neck than the second end.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an assembly including a receptacle having a drawer slidable in the receptacle for receiving debris into a suction debris collection system; the drawer includes: a floor; walls extending up from the floor, the floor and the walls defining a chamber having a forward part and a rearward part; an outlet from the rearward part of the chamber; and a seal configured to prevent the passage of air through an opening to the suction system when the drawer is in a closed position and suction is supplied to the opening.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a debris receiving drawer is mounted in a receptacle bay slideable between a single closed position and an open position, wherein the drawer includes a basin, a channel from the basin, and an outlet from the channel. The basin is configured to guide debris entering the basin toward the channel and the channel is configured to channel debris to the outlet.

Abstract: A linear actuator for a rotating shaft assembly includes a cylinder and a piston arranged within a cavity defined by the cylinder. Faces of the piston delimit first and second chambers within the cavity. A rotatable shaft fixed to the piston defines a first main passage in fluid communication with the first chamber and a second main passage in fluid communication with the second chamber. A pressure delivery body rotatably fixed to the rotatable shaft defines a first delivery passage in fluid communication with the first main passage and a second delivery passage in fluid communication with the second main passage. A passage isolation system selectively isolates fluid communication between the first delivery passage and the first main passage and fluid communication between the second delivery passage and the second main passage. A pressure limiting system selectively blocks fluid communication through the first and second main passages.

Abstract: A linear actuator for a rotating shaft assembly is provided that includes a cylinder member and a primary piston arranged within a cavity defined by the cylinder member. A first face of the primary piston delimits a first chamber within the cavity and a second face of the primary piston delimits a second chamber within the cavity. A rotatable shaft is fixed to the primary piston and defines a first main passage in fluid communication with the first chamber and a second main passage in fluid communication with the second chamber. A pressure delivery body is rotatably fixed to the rotatable shaft and defines a first delivery passage in fluid communication with the first main passage and a second delivery passage in fluid communication with the second main passage.
