  • Patent number: 9427859
    Abstract: A power tool includes a housing, an output shaft supported by the housing for rotation about an axis, a battery terminal selectively operable to receive a DC power supply from a battery, and a receptacle selectively operable to receive an AC power supply from an AC power source. The power tool further includes a motor operable in a first power mode, in response to receipt of the DC power supply, to rotatably drive the output shaft, and also operable in a second power mode, in response to receipt of the AC power supply, to rotatably drive the output shaft. The power tool also includes a mechanical interlock movable between a first position in which the interlock inhibits the flow of the AC power supply to the motor and a second position in which the interlock inhibits the flow of the DC power supply to the motor.

  • Patent number: 5643063
    Abstract: A carrier is connected to the plunger for reciprocating therewith; the carrier is of inverted U-shape defining a recess open at its bottom. A holder is pivotally mounted to the carrier for swinging movement back and forth between a first position wherein the holder is substantially nested within the recess in the carrier and a second position wherein a substantial portion of the holder extends out of and away from the carrier recess. The holder is also of inverted U-shape defining a cavity for receiving a portion of a contour sanding member. Detent elements on the carrier compress the holder when the latter is in its first position thereby to impart a clamping force to a contour sanding member received within the cavity of the holder. A manually operated ejection member mounted on the tool housing engages the holder for moving the same from its first position to its second position.
