Murphy ABSTRACT: A portable power tool including a reversible electric motor, a housing having a handle adapted to be grasped by an operator, and a trigger switch adjacent the handle to be grasped by the operators finger for energizing the motor. The tool also includes a reversing switch. The operating member for the reversing switch comprises a T-shap'ed operating lever located above the trigger for convenient engagement by the operator. The base portion of the T-bar is connected through a pivot mounting to the reversing switch whereby rotation thereof through an arc causes operation of the switch. The arm portions of the T-bar extend toward the opposite sides of the tool and protrude slightly through apertures in the housing so that, upon engagement of one or the Patented May 18, 1971- INVENTOR JOHN L. WICKHAM BY. a I ATTORNEY REVERSING SWITCH FOR POWER TOOLS The present invention is directed to an improved reversing switch for portable power tools.
Power tools of the type including a pistol grip handle and trigger switch have previously been provided with a reversing switch which is connected in the circuit of the tool so as to produce reverse operation of the motor and of the output device. However, the operating mechanisms of previous reversing switches have been subject to one or more of several objections. For example, some of the operating levers are provided in inconvenient locations on the tool, while others protrude from the tool so that they can be broken off when the tool is dropped or inadvertently operated when moving the tool past an external object. Other objections include the fact that some are positioned so as to be in the way of the operators hand when he grasps the tool or that they are basically made for right-hand operation and are inconvenient for lefthanders.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a reversible electric switch for a portable electric tool or appliance which is not subject to the previously noted objectrons.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a reversible switch means for a portable tool which is convenient for one hand use by the operator.
Another object of this invention is the provision of a reversible electric switch operator for a portable electric tool which does not protrude from the overall configuration of the tool but which, at the same time, is convenient for use.
These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent from a reading of the following specification, taken in conjunction with the enclosed drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a portable electric tool embodying the reversing switch of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged detail portion of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3A and 3B are plan views of the reversing switch of the present invention in its respective positions; and
FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the tool of FIG. 1.
Briefly, in accord with one embodiment of this invention, a portable power tool is disclosed which includes a reversible electric motor, a housing including a handle adapted to be grasped by an operator, and a trigger switch adjacent the handle to be grasped by the operators finger for energizing the motor. The tool also includes a reversing switch and, in accord with the present invention, the operating member for the reversing switch comprises a T-shaped operating lever which is disposed closely adjacent the trigger for convenient engagement by the operator. The base portion of the T-bar is connected through a pivot mounting to the reversing switch whereby rotation thereof through an arc causes operation of the switch. The arm portions of the T-bar extend toward the opposite sides of the tool and protrude slightly through apertures in the housing so that, upon engagement of one or the other by the oeprators hand, the reversing switch is moved between its forward and reverse positions.
In FIG. 1, a representative electric tool is illustrated which embodies the present invention. Specifically, an electric drill is shown which comprises a housing 11 having a pistol grip handle 12 and trigger switch 13. The drill also includes a power cord 14 for connection thereof to a source of current and a motor (not shown) is located within the housing 11 in driving relationship to a reduction gear assembly contained within a gear case 15. A chuck 16 is provided for receiving a tool element such as a screwdriver bit or other output device. The motor is adapted to drive the chuck and tool element when a voltage is applied thereto via the trigger switch 13. The tool also includes a reversing switch, located internally of the handle 12, for changing the direction of rotation of the motor, chuck and tool element. In the course of using this or other electric tools during a work day, it is necessary to use the switch frequently and it is therefore desirable to provide it in as convenient a location as)possible. Also, it may often be necessary to operate the switch when the tool is being held in an extended position or when only one hand is available to manipulate the switch. Accordingly, the present invention is directed to an improved operating .lever for the reversing switch which overcomes these objections as well as those previously noted. Specifically, an operating lever is provided, preferably disposed immediately above the trigger switch 13 which includes a first operating arm 20 which protrudes from the housing through an opening 21 therein. This arrangement is illustrated more clearly in FIG. 2 where it can be seen that the operating arm 20 is immediately available to the hand of an operator using the tool.
FIGS. 3A and 33 represent views taken along the lines 3-3 of FIG. 1,-but respectively show the reversing switch in its opposite positions. As illustrated therein, the operating lever comprises a T-shaped member 22, the base portion 23 of which is pivotally mounted at 24 for movement ina plane transverse to the sliding movement of a trigger 13. Rotation of the pivot 24 upon transverse movement of the lever 22 causes operation of a reversing switch 25 which is preferably disposed immediately below the operating lever. This portion of the operating mechanism is well known to those skilled in the art and is, for example, illustrated in the Frenzel Pat. No. 3,260,827,issued July I2, 1966.
The operating lever includes two arm portions 20 and 26 which extend transversely from the base portion 23 in'the manner of the cross bar of a T. These arms extend outwardly through housing apertures 21 and 27 so as to be engageable by the operator. An interlocking mechanism is also provided to prevent operation of the reversing switch when the motor is energized. Any suitable means may be employed, such as parallel slots 28 and 29 formed internally of the sliding trigger, an abutment 30 between the slots, and a pin 31 depending from the operating lever 22 for relative sliding movement within one of the slots 28, 29. Thus, the reversing member is precluded from movement when the trigger 13 is depressed to energize the motor.
As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, wing portions 32 may be provided on the end of the base portion 23. These serve to stabilize the switch when the reversing lever is moved.
It will be clear from these illustrations that the operating lever of the reversing switch in accord with the present invention provides an improved arrangement for operating the reversing switch. The operating member 22 is conveniently located for operating during use of the tool in either the left or the right hand. Furthermore, since the respective arm portions 20 and 26 can be engaged and operated by the hand holding the tool, the operators other hand is not required for reversing the switch. A further advantage of this construction is illustrated in FIG. 4, wherein it can be seen that the arms 20 and 26 protrude only a small distance beyond the forward section 33 of the handle-l2 and, since the switch is located immediately below the upper portion of the housing 11, the arms do not significantly interrupt the overall contour of the tool. Thus, the possibility of breakage or of inadvertent operation is substantially reduced or eliminated because of the shielding provided by the housing.
It will be clear to those skilled in the art that many changes and modifications from the illustrated embodiment may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention; for example, the operating lever illustrated may readily be adapted to use in an end-handle tool or to other similar handles. Also, the T-shape illustrated may be approximated by a generally triangular shape or other equivalent configurations while still utilizing the advantages and principles of this invention. Accordingly, it is intended that the appended claims cover all such changes and modifications as may fall within the true spirit of this invention.
