Abstract
A blade retention mechanism that includes a body and a catch. The catch is configured to engage a bit. A knurled nut is configured to engage the catch and the body such that it is movable. When the nut is moved between a first position and a second position the catch moves between a first position and a second position. A v-groove is formed in the body and is configured to receive and retain a bit when the catch is in the first position.
Claims13
A bit retention mechanism, the mechanism comprising:
- a body that includes a first end and a second end;
- the body includes an inner wall that defines a channel, and the channel extends between the first end of the body and the second end of the body;
- a pair of opposing v-shaped grooves are defined by the inner wall wherein each v-shaped groove has a peak and the peaks are aligned and the pair of opposing grooves are positioned such that near the first end of the body they are spaced-apart a first distance and away from the first end of the body they are spaced-apart a second distance wherein the second distance is shorter than the first distance;
- the grooves are configured to receive a bit and resist side to side motion of the bit;
- and
- a catch for tensioning the bit such that it cannot be removed from within the body of the retention mechanism.

A blade retention mechanism, the mechanism comprising:
- a body;
- a catch is configured to engage and tension a blade;
- a receptacle extending into the body away from a first end of the body and defining an opening at the first end of the body that is configured to receive the blade and the opening is defined by opposing inner walls defining V grooves wherein each groove has a peak and the peaks are aligned;
- the v grooves are configured to retain the blade to resist side to side movement when the catch is engaged and tensioning the blade;
- and
- wherein the receptacle is wider near the first end and the receptacle is narrower at a point that is spaced-away from the first end.
