Articulating Oscillating Power Tool

摘要

An oscillating power tool includes a drive motor producing rotary motion and an actuator for converting the motor rotary motion to an oscillatory side-to-side movement. The power tool includes a tool mount operably driven by the actuator and configured to support the tool so that the working end is substantially collinear and/or coplanar with the axis of the motor drive shaft.

1. A power tool comprising:
a housing; a motor located in the housing and having a drive shaft configured for rotation about a longitudinal axis; an actuator operatively coupled to the drive shaft and configured to convert the rotation of the drive shaft to an oscillatory displacement in a plane; a tool holder coupled to the actuator and configured to move in response to movement of the actuator; and a tool supported by the tool holder, the tool having a working surface, wherein the tool holder and tool are configured so that the tool is supported by said tool holder with the tool working surface substantially collinear with the longitudinal axis of the motor drive shaft.
