Abstract
A percussion tool comprises a housing, an electric motor positioned within the housing, a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation in the housing along a first axis, and a pair of handles coupled to the housing. The handles define a second axis. The percussion tool further comprises a battery pack removably coupled to the housing for providing power to the motor when coupled to the housing. The first and second axes are contained within first and second planes, respectively, that are parallel to each other.
Claims25
A percussion tool comprising:
- a housing;
- an electric motor positioned within the housing;
- a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation in the housing along a first axis;
- a pair of handles coupled to the housing, the handles defining a second axis;
- and
- a battery pack removably coupled to the housing for providing power to the motor when coupled to the housing;
- wherein the first and second axes are contained within first and second planes, respectively, that are parallel to each other, different from one another, and spaced from one another.

A percussion tool comprising:
- a housing including a front side, and rear side, a top side, a bottom side, and opposite lateral sides extending between the front and rear sides and extending between the top and bottom sides;
- an electric motor positioned within the housing;
- a cylinder extending from the bottom side of the housing;
- a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a striker supported for reciprocation in the cylinder along a first axis, the first axis extending through the top and bottom sides of the housing;
- a first handle coupled to a first of the lateral sides of the housing;
- a second handle coupled to a second of the lateral sides of the housing, the first and second handles oriented coaxially along a second axis;
- and
- a battery pack removably coupled to the front side of the housing for providing power to the motor when coupled to the housing;
- wherein the first and second axes are contained within first and second planes, respectively, that are parallel to each other, different from one another, and spaced from one another;
- wherein each of the first and second planes extend through the top side, the bottom side, and the lateral sides of the housing,
- wherein the second plane intersects a center of gravity of the percussion tool, and
- wherein the first plane and the battery pack are on opposite sides of the second plane.

A percussion tool comprising:
- a housing having a bottom end and an opposite top end;
- an electric motor positioned within the housing;
- a percussion mechanism driven by the motor and including a cylinder extending from the bottom end of the housing and a striker supported for reciprocation in the cylinder;
- a pair of operating handles extending outwardly from the housing and configured to be grasped during operation of the percussion mechanism;
- and
- a carrying handle on the bottom end of the housing and configured to be grasped during a non-operative state of the percussion tool,
- wherein the striker is configured to reciprocate along a striker axis that lies in a striker plane, and wherein the operating handles define a handle axis that lies in a handle plane that is parallel with the striker plane.
