Publication number: 20140024301Abstract: A power tool that includes a tool body housing, a drive system, a tool head and a connection system. The drive system is housed in the tool body housing. The tool head, which is configured to perform work on a work piece, includes a tool head housing and an input member that is driven by the drive system when the tool head is coupled to the tool body housing. The tool head can be engaged to the tool body housing in at least two pre-defined and distinct orientations. The connection system secures the tool head to the tool body housing in each of the at least two pre-defined and distinct orientations.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2013Publication date: January 23, 2014Applicant: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Wade C. King, Micah A. Coleman, Andrew Walker, Jason McRoberts, Frederick R. Bean, Christopher J. Murray, Frank A. DeSantis

Patent number: 8613644Abstract: A tool for moving an abrasive media can include a tool body and a drive system housed in the tool body. The drive system can include an output member. A retaining member can be disposed on the tool body. A first platen having a first attachment hub can be selectively coupled with the retaining member in an installed position. The first platen can have a first rotatable member that selectively attaches to the output member in a first mode of operation. A second platen having a second attachment hub can selectively couple with the retaining member in an installed position. The second platen can have a second rotatable member that selectively attaches to the output member in a second mode of operation.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: December 24, 2013Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Wade C. King, Micah A. Coleman, Andrew Walker, Jason McRoberts, Frederick R. Bean, Christopher J. Murray, Frank A. DeSantis

Patent number: 8550324Abstract: A fastening tool for driving a fastener into a workpiece includes a trigger assembly that activates a driver sequence that drives the fastener into the workpiece. A contact trip mechanism has a blocking member connected to a carrier member. The contact trip mechanism is moveable between an extended position and a retracted position. In the extended position, the blocking member prevents the trigger assembly from activating the driver sequence. A depth adjustment assembly includes an adjuster member moveable between at least a first position associated with a first depth setting and a second position associated with a second depth setting. The adjuster member is moveable to obstruct the carrier member, when the contact trip mechanism moves from the extended position to the retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2006Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventor: Micah A Coleman

Publication number: 20120099936Abstract: A power drill can comprise a housing having a motor that includes an output member. A rotary output spindle can be journaled in the housing. A transmission can be disposed in the housing and include a first output gear and a second output gear. The transmission can selectively couple the output member to the output spindle through one of the first output gear or the second output gear for rotating the output spindle at one of a first speed or a second speed, respectively. A speed shift assembly can include a guide plate and a user engageable member. The guide plate can selectively influence movement of the first and second output gears. The user engageable member can be movable between a first speed position and a second speed position. Movement between the first and second positions can cause the second output gear to at least partially nest into the first output gear.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2010Publication date: April 26, 2012Inventors: Frederick R. Bean, Jason McRoberts, Ashok Samuel Baskar, Micah A. Coleman
