Abstract
A power tool is provided that includes a tool carrier for mounting an impact tool. The tool carrier has a base member aligned with an operational axis. The base member has a head end for receiving impact energy, a foot end provided with a tool mount configured to transmit the impact energy to the impact tool, and a casing engagement feature between the head end and foot end. A first casing module is provided with a tool carrier engagement feature complementary in shape to, and for interlocking engagement with, the tool carrier casing engagement feature to prevent rotation of the tool carrier relative to the first casing module around the operational axis, and permits relative movement between the tool carrier and the first casing module along the operational axis.
Claims25
A power tool having an operational axis, the power tool comprising:
- a tool carrier for mounting an impact tool, the tool carrier comprising:
- a base member aligned with an operational axis of the power tool, the base member having:
- a head end for receiving impact energy;
- and
- a foot end at an opposite end of the tool carrier, the foot end being provided with a tool mount configured to transmit the impact energy to a tool;
- and
- a tool carrier casing engagement feature provided between the head end and the foot end;
- and
- a first casing module, at least part of the tool carrier being located within the first casing module,
- the first casing module being provided with a tool carrier engagement feature complementary in shape to, and for interlocking engagement with, the tool carrier casing engagement feature,
- wherein:
- the interlocking engagement between the tool carrier engagement feature and the tool carrier casing engagement feature (1) prevents rotation of the tool carrier around the operational axis, and (2) permits relative movement along the operational axis;
- and
- the tool carrier casing engagement feature comprises:
- a web plate that extends around a circumference of the base member;
- and
- a plurality of fins that
- extend from the web plate, and
- extend longitudinally such that, in use, the plurality of fins are aligned with the operational axis of the power tool.
