Patent number: 8893820Abstract: A drive system for releasably interconnecting a motor shaft of a rotary hand held power tool and an input shaft of an attachment device that is mounted thereon includes an elongated flexible drive shaft and an elongated output shaft. The flexible drive shaft is connected to the input shaft of the attachment device and includes an outer end portion with a non-circular cross-section configured to engage a complementarily shaped cavity of an output shaft operatively attached to the power tool motor shaft. The elongated output shaft is operatively connected to the motor shaft of the power tool. The output shaft defines a generally cylindrical outer configuration along its length and includes a rearward mounting portion for attachment to the motor shaft and an intermediate portion having the complementarily shaped cavity for receiving the flexible drive shaft.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2013Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Josh Barhitte, Hiram Aburto, Ernesto Candia, Andy G. Meyers

Patent number: 8834641Abstract: A method of using a hand-held power tool having a debris removal attachment is provided. The method includes providing a hand-held power tool having an output shaft and selectively coupling an extension shaft to the output shaft. The method also includes coupling a first impeller to the extension shaft and providing a housing adjacent the first impeller. The method further includes rotating the first impeller to generate a pressure differential sufficient to draw debris into the housing. The extension shaft has a first end and a second end, the first end configured to couple to the output shaft of the hand-held power tool, and the second end configured to couple to a tool bit.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Credo Technology CorporationInventors: Timothy Baker, Josh Barhitte, Barry Jacobs, Harald Krondorfer
