摘要:
A tool container comprising two housing members and an insert. The two housing members are pivotally coupled with one another for opening and closing with respect to one another. At least one housing member defines a cavity for receiving tools. The cavity is defined by a base and a wall extending from the base. At least one of the wall and the base include a plurality of first retaining features. The insert is operable to retain at least one tool. The insert has a surface with a plurality of second retaining features operable to cooperate with the first retaining features to secure the insert at one of a variety of positions within the housing members. The insert includes an elastomeric portion operable to engage and retain the tool.

A sensing mechanism (12) for detecting user contact with an active portion (26) of the power tool (10) is provided. In addition, a safety mechanism (14) for preventing prolonged user contact with the active portion (26) of a power tool (10) is provided. The safety mechanism (14) is configured to actuate upon receipt of a signal from the sensing mechanism (12). According to a first aspect, the safety mechanism (14) is arranged to rapidly displace the active portion (26) away from a user extremity. Alternatively, according to a second aspect, the safety mechanism (14) is arranged to rapidly urge an extremity of the user away from the active portion (26) of the power tool (10).

A fastener driving tool (300, 900, 900') includes a shaft (902, 902', 902'', 1016, 1216, 1312, 1512, 1612) with a working region (304, 904, 908, 904', 908', 904'', 908'', 1020, 1220, 1316) disposed at a first end of the shaft (902, 902', 902'', 1016, 1216, 1312, 1512, 1612) and configured to drive a fastener (54), a shank portion (302, 476, 558, 840) disposed proximate a second end of the shaft (902, 902', 902'', 1016, 1216, 1312, 1512, 1612) and configured to couple the shaft (902, 902', 902'', 1016, 1216, 1312, 1512, 1612) to a power tool (2), and a reduced diameter torsion zone (306, 912, 912', 912'', 914, 914', 914'', 934'', 572, 561, 1010, 1011, 1012, 1014) disposed between the shank portion (302, 476, 558, 840) and the working region (304, 904, 908, 904', 908', 904'', 908'', 1020, 1220, 1316), the torsion zone (306, 912, 912', 912'', 914, 914', 914'', 934'', 572, 561, 1010, 1011, 1012, 1014) extending from a first shoulder (916', 916'', 918') closer to the working region (304, 904, 908, 904', 908', 904'', 908'', 1020, 1220, 1316) to a second shoulder (920', 920'', 922') closer to the shank portion (302, 476, 558, 840). A length (L) and a radius (c) of the torsion zone have been optimized so that approximately half of breakages occur in the working region (304, 904, 908, 904', 908', 904'', 908'', 1020, 1220, 1316) and approximately half of breakages occur in the torsion zone (306, 912, 912', 912'', 914, 914', 914'', 934'', 572, 561, 1010, 1011, 1012, 1014).
摘要:
A storage container for housing bits includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion pivotally connected through a hinge for moving between open and closed positions. The first housing portion defines a first body cavity and the second housing portion defines a second body cavity in the closed position. At least one bit holder is pivotally connected to the hinge and arranged to fit within the first body cavity in the closed position. The bit holder includes a plurality of bit receiving portions formed thereon for accepting the bits. The bit receiving portions are generally parallel to the hinge. A cover is pivotally connected to the second housing portion and moveable between open and closed positions for accessing the second body cavity.
