COMPACTING POWER TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447669 titled 'COMPACTING POWER TOOL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a compacting power tool that includes a housing, a motor, a reciprocating drive mechanism, a compacting foot, and a controller.

  • The compacting power tool is designed to compact surfaces.
  • The tool has a motor mounted within a housing.
  • The reciprocating drive mechanism is connected to the motor and includes a reciprocating piston that moves between two positions.
  • The compacting foot is attached to the reciprocating drive mechanism and moves back and forth to engage the surface being compacted.
  • The controller controls the motor and adjusts the torque provided by the motor based on the position of the reciprocating piston.
  • When the piston moves from the first position to the second position, the motor provides a first torque.
  • When the piston moves from the second position to the first position, the motor provides a second torque.
  • The first torque is greater than the second torque.


Original Abstract Submitted

A compacting power tool comprising: a housing; a motor mounted within the housing; a reciprocating drive mechanism coupled to the motor, wherein reciprocating drive mechanism comprises a reciprocating piston movable between a first position and a second position; a compacting foot coupled to the reciprocating drive mechanism and configured to reciprocate and engage a surface to be compacted when the motor is operating; and a controller configured to cause the motor to provide a first torque when the reciprocating piston is moving from the first position to the second position and to provide a second torque when the reciprocating piston is moving from the second position to the first position, wherein the first torque is greater than the second torque.
