A multi-tool () includes a power head () including a power head housing () having a handle () operably coupled thereto, a tool attachment () configured to perform a work function, the tool attachment () being alternately separable from and operably coupled to the power head (), a motor () disposed in the power head housing (), a battery () configured to be operably coupled to the motor () to selectively power the motor (), a drive provider portion () disposed at the power head (), and a drive receiver portion () disposed at the tool attachment (). The drive provider portion () includes a driving portion () of a shaft () operably coupled to the motor (), and the drive receiver portion () includes a driven portion () of the shaft (). The driving portion (), the drive receiver portion (), and the motor () share a common axis (). The power head () receives the battery () at an opposite end of the power head housing () relative to an end of the power head housing () at which the motor () is located, and the handle () extends from a first portion of the power head housing () above the motor () to a second portion of the power head housing () above the battery ().

A multi-tool () includes a power head () including a power head housing () having a handle () operably coupled thereto, a tool attachment () configured to perform a work function, the tool attachment () being alternately separable from and operably coupled to the power head (), a motor () disposed in the power head housing (), a battery () configured to be operably coupled to the motor () to selectively power the motor (), a power head mating interface () including structures disposed at the power head () for defining a physical mating assembly, a drive power transfer assembly and an electronic assembly, and a tool mating interface () including structures disposed at a housing of the tool attachment () for defining the physical mating assembly, the drive power transfer assembly and the electronic assembly. The structures disposed at the power head () and the structures disposed at the housing of the tool attachment () for defining the physical mating assembly are configured to contact each other before the structures disposed at the power head () and the structures disposed at the housing of the tool attachment () for defining the drive power transfer assembly contact each other responsive to operably coupling of the power head mating interface () to the tool mating interface (). The structures disposed at the power head () and the structures disposed at the housing of the tool attachment () for defining the drive power transfer assembly are configured to contact each other before the structures disposed at the power head () and the structures disposed at the housing of the tool attachment () for defining the electronic assembly contact each other responsive to operably coupling of the power head mating interface () to the tool mating interface ().

Lawnmower seat

Riding lawn mowers may utilize friction drives configured with a variable normal force between frictional components. In a riding lawn mower, an internal combustion engine may be coupled to a differential via a friction drive, wherein the friction drive is configured with a variable normal force in order to provide improved power transfer and/or shifting performance.

Light riding vehicle with variable friction drive

A lawn mower has a dual-tubular frame for shock absorption. The dual-tubular frame has two parallel, longitudinally-extending tubular structures with curved portions allowing for flexion. A seat bracket interconnects the tubular structures. An engine is mounted to the tubular structures rearward of the seat bracket.
