ROTARY POWER TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18672298 titled 'ROTARY POWER TOOL

The patent application describes a power tool with a vibration damping assembly positioned between the motor housing and the handle.

  • The power tool includes a motor housing, a motor, and a handle with a vibration damping assembly.
  • The vibration damping assembly consists of a first coupling portion on the motor housing, a second coupling portion on the handle, and an elastomeric damper between them.
  • The damper has a mating surface portion that helps reduce vibrations between the motor housing and the handle.

Potential Applications: This technology can be used in various power tools such as drills, saws, and sanders to reduce vibrations and improve user comfort and control.

Problems Solved: The technology addresses the issue of excessive vibrations in power tools, which can lead to user fatigue and discomfort during prolonged use.

Benefits: The vibration damping assembly enhances user experience by reducing vibrations, increasing comfort, and improving overall tool performance.

Commercial Applications: This technology can be beneficial for power tool manufacturers looking to enhance the ergonomics and user-friendliness of their products, potentially leading to increased sales and customer satisfaction.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the vibration damping assembly improve user experience with power tools? 

  - The vibration damping assembly reduces vibrations, increasing user comfort and control.

2. What are the potential long-term benefits of implementing this technology in power tools? 

  - Implementing this technology can lead to reduced user fatigue and improved tool performance over time.


Original Abstract Submitted

A power tool includes a motor housing extending along a first axis, a motor positioned in the motor housing, a handle extending along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, and a vibration damping assembly positioned between the motor housing and the handle. The vibration damping assembly includes a first coupling portion defined by the motor housing, a second coupling portion defined by the handle, and an elastomeric damper captured between the first coupling portion and the second coupling portion. The first coupling portion includes a first mating surface facing toward the handle, and the second coupling portion includes a second mating surface facing toward the motor housing and positioned opposite the first mating surface. The damper includes a mating surface portion that extends outward in a direction transverse to the second axis, and the mating surface portion is positioned between the first and second mating surfaces.
