LOCKING MECHANISM FOR AN ARTICULATING OSCILLATING POWER TOOL

摘要

An oscillating power tool includes a tool mount which can be articulated through a range of positions including less than zero degrees to ninety degrees. The tool mount can accept a variety of accessory tools which move in a reversing angular displacement as well as articulate throughout the range of positions. A locking mechanism is provided that can be manually actuated to prevent articulation or rotation of the articulator to thereby fix the tool mount to a pre-selected orientation.
