Abstract
The present disclosure relates to powered hand tools and, in particular, their combination with a laser measuring system to measure a distance between a tool and a reference surface such as a wall, floor, or ceiling.
Claims18
A power tool, comprising:
- a primary motor;
- a chuck operatively-coupled to the primary motor;
- a body housing the primary motor;
- a display mounted on a rear surface of the body, said display being positioned behind the chuck and in a plane generally orthogonal to an axis of rotation of the chuck;
- a handle projecting from the body;
- a distancing laser disposed within a laser housing, the laser housing being rotatably coupled to the body of the power tool, below an axis of rotation of the chuck, the distancing laser being configured to emit a distancing laser beam parallel to a plane of an axis of rotation of the chuck, and the laser housing being configured to allow the distancing laser to rotate in a plane parallel to the axis of rotation of the chuck;
- and
- a secondary motor which is operatively-coupled to the laser housing and configured to drive the rotation of the distancing laser in a plane parallel to the axis of rotation of the chuck.

A hand held power tool, comprising:
- a primary motor;
- a chuck operatively-coupled to the primary motor;
- a body housing the primary motor;
- a handle projecting from the body;
- and
- a rotatable distancing laser disposed within a rotatable laser housing, the rotatable laser housing being rotatably coupled to the body of the power tool, below an axis of rotation of the chuck, the rotatable laser housing being disposed such that a laser beam emitted from the rotatable distancing laser is emitted in a plane parallel to a plane of an axis of rotation of the chuck, wherein the rotatable laser housing is configured to be rotatable during operation of the power tool.
