Clip for medical tubing

A clip for medical tubing is a device for releasably and removably securing medical tubing, such as nasogastric tubes, surgical drainage tubes and the like, to a garment, such as a hospital gown or the like. The clip for medical tubing includes an elongated flexible member having longitudinally opposed first and second ends, and first and second clamps extending from the first and second ends, respectively, of the elongated flexible member. Each of the first and second clamps includes a yoke having first and second laterally opposed arms, at least two first resilient fingers extending in parallel from the first arm of the yoke, and at least one second resilient finger extending from the second arm of the yoke. The at least one second finger is resiliently compressible.

A system for identifying a type of a power tool, the system comprising: a power tool having an electric motor; and a usage attachment configured to couple to the power tool, the usage attachment having a vibration sensor that generates vibration data when the power tool vibrates, a memory that stores the vibration data generated by the vibration sensor, and an identification subsystem that receives the vibration data from the memory, and identifies the type of the power tool by comparing the received vibration data to predetermined vibration data of a known type of power tool.

System and method for identifying a power tool

A driving tool having first and second linear motors, a head assembly, a nosepiece and a driver. The first linear motor forms an air compressor and includes a scotch yoke mechanism for translating a first piston in a first cylinder. The scotch yoke mechanism includes a crank arm, a crank arm roller, which is coupled to the crank arm, and a connecting rod having a roller slot into which the crank arm roller is received. At least a portion of the roller slot is configured to vary an output rate at which the connecting rod translates along a translation axis relative to an input rate at which the crank arm roller moves in a direction that is parallel to the translation axis.

Driving tool with internal air compressor

A power tool has a mechanism for ejecting a battery pack which includes a receiving frame which defines a cavity to receive a battery pack. A receiving member is adjacent the cavity. The receiving member meshes with a member on the battery pack to hold the battery pack in the cavity. A biasing member is in the cavity adjacent the receiving member. The biasing member ejects the battery pack from the ejecting mechanism. A member retains the biasing member in the cavity. The member guides a portion of the battery pack meshing with the receiving member into contact with the biasing member such that when the battery pack is locked onto the frame, the biasing member is in a compressed condition and when the battery pack is an unlocked position, the biasing member ejects the battery pack from the frame.

Power tool with battery pack ejector

A power tool has a mechanism for forcing a battery pack at least partially from a cavity that receives a battery pack. A biasing member is in the cavity. A member for retaining the biasing member is also in the cavity. The biasing member forces the battery pack at least partially from the cavity. When the battery pack is locked onto the frame, the biasing member is in a compressed condition and when the battery pack is an unlocked position, the biasing member forces the battery pack at least partially from the frame.

A power tool that includes a housing, a motor, a trigger, a multi-speed transmission and a torque clutch. The housing define a handle. The motor is coupled to the housing. The trigger is coupled to the housing and configured to control operation of the motor. The multi-speed transmission is configured to transmit rotary power between the motor and the output spindle and includes a plurality of planetary stages with a first stage and a second stage that receives rotary power from the first stage. The first stage has a first internally toothed gear element and the second stage having a second internally toothed gear element. The torque clutch limits torque output from the multi-speed transmission to the output spindle. The torque clutch is configured to alternatively ground the second and third internally toothed gear elements to the housing based on a speed ratio setting of the multi-speed transmission.

Power tool with torque clutch

A power tool having a tool portion, a chuck and a lock. The tool portion has a housing, a motor, and a spindle driven by the motor. The chuck has a body coupled to the spindle for rotation therewith, and a sleeve rotatably disposed about the body. The lock has a first lock structure pivotally coupled to the housing about a pivot axis, and a second lock structure. The first lock structure has a first locking feature. The second lock structure has a second locking feature and is coupled to the sleeve for rotation therewith. Pivoting the first lock structure into a first pivot position positions the first locking feature in a rotational path of the second locking feature. Engagement of the first and second locking features inhibits rotation of the sleeve so that rotation of the spindle will cause corresponding rotation of the body relative to the sleeve.

Power tool with automatic chuck

A power tool constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure can include a repositionable tool accessory. The repositionable tool accessory can be selectively coupled to a first mounting structure on the tool. The repositionable tool accessory can include a tool accessory housing, a rod, a roller, and a locking knob. The tool accessory housing can define a first rod opening and include engaging structure that is configured to cooperatively mate with the first mounting structure. The rod can slidably translate along the first rod opening. The roller can be rotatably coupled to a distal portion of the rod. The locking knob can be movable between an unlocked position wherein the rod is freely translatable along the first rod opening to locate the roller at different locations relative to the output member, and a lock position wherein the rod is fixed relative to the tool accessory housing.

Oscillating tools and accessories

A reciprocating saw can include a housing and a motor disposed in the housing. A blade retaining mechanism can receive a saw blade. A drive mechanism can translate rotational motion of the motor into reciprocating motion of the blade retaining mechanism. A clamp assembly can include first and second shoes that are coupled to the housing. The first shoe can have a first shoe body that includes a first material facing surface. The second shoe can include a second material facing surface that opposes the first material facing surface and that defines a clamping distance therebetween. At least one of the first and second shoes is selectively adjustable relative to the housing, such that the clamping distance can be altered. One of the first or second shoe bodies can have a third material facing surface that comprises an arcuate section defining a radius.

Clamp for reciprocating saw

A power tool constructed in accordance to one example of the present teachings can include a housing having a handle and body portion. A motor can be disposed in the body portion and a drive spindle drivingly connected to the motor. A chuck can comprise a chuck spindle that supports a plurality of chuck jaws. A first sleeve can rotationally communicate with the chuck jaws to move the chuck jaws between a clamping position and a non-clamping position. An indicator mechanism can be disposed on the chuck having a first and second visual indicator. The indicator mechanism can move from a first position to a second position upon rotation of the first sleeve to a location that corresponds to a predetermined clamping force attained by the chuck jaws.
