Patent number: 11745322Abstract: Portable, hand held, battery operated, hydraulic tools are provided with a tool frame and one or more interchangeable working heads. When the working head is connected with the tool frame, a piston actuated by a hydraulic system within the tool frame applies force to the working head to perform a task. A coupling mechanism holds the working head to the tool frame. The coupling mechanism allows the working head to be removed from the tool frame and another working head to be joined to the tool frame. The coupling mechanism can hold the working head at a fixed rotational angle with respect to the tool frame. The coupling mechanism can also allow the working head to rotate with respect to the tool frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2022Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: John David Lefavour, Thomas Romeo Faucher, Lawrence Brown, Peter Matthew Wason, Bernard P. Vachon, Sarah LaPerriere, Mark A. Chiasson

Patent number: 11590668Abstract: A portable, hand held hydraulic cutting tool having an in-line handle assembly and a working head assembly. The handle assembly has a tool frame portion and a neck portion. The working head assembly has a pair of jaw members joined so that they are movable relative to each other and held in place by a locking pin. Each jaw member has a cutting blade attached thereto. Each jaw member can be tapered and can include weight reducing pockets defined in respective sidewalls. Each jaw member includes a raised tab on an outside edge that mates with a respective tab notch in a yoke of the neck portion of the handle assembly. When the locking pin is in an extended position, the jaw members of the tool can separate and rotate away from one another until their respective locking tabs engage their respective locking tab opening, connecting the jaw members to the yoke of the neck portion of the handle assembly.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: HUBBELL INCORPORATEDInventors: Peter Matthew Wason, John David Lefavour
