BATTERY PACK RECEPTACLE FOR POWER TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240055715 titled 'BATTERY PACK RECEPTACLE FOR POWER TOOL
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a power tool with a housing that includes a battery pack attachment portion, a printed circuit board, a motor, and a battery pack receptacle. The battery pack receptacle is movably coupled to the battery pack attachment portion and includes a groove for receiving a flange, as well as a cavity for holding a battery pack.
- Housing with battery pack attachment portion, printed circuit board, motor, and battery pack receptacle
- Battery pack receptacle is movably coupled to the battery pack attachment portion
- Groove in the battery pack receptacle for receiving a flange
- Cavity in the battery pack receptacle for holding a battery pack
- Spring or resilient body between the battery pack attachment portion and the battery pack receptacle to bias them
- Power tool terminals supported by the battery pack receptacle and connected to the printed circuit board
Potential applications of this technology:
- Power tools such as drills, saws, or sanders
- Cordless devices that require a battery pack for operation
Problems solved by this technology:
- Secure attachment of the battery pack to the power tool
- Easy replacement of the battery pack when needed
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved efficiency in changing battery packs
- Enhanced safety in using the power tool with a secure battery attachment
Original Abstract Submitted
a power tool includes a housing that defines a battery pack attachment portion, which has a first cavity and a flange. a printed circuit board and a motor are positioned within the housing. the motor is electrically communicates with the printed circuit board. a battery pack receptacle is positioned within the first cavity, is movably coupled to the battery pack attachment portion. the battery pack receptacle includes a groove in which the flange of the battery pack attachment portion is received and a second cavity configured to receive at least a portion of a battery pack. one of a spring or a resilient body is positioned between the battery pack attachment portion and the battery pack receptacle and is configured to bias the battery pack attachment relative to the battery pack receptacle. power tool terminals are supported by the battery pack receptacle and electrically communicate with the printed circuit board.
