Abstract
An accessory for a working device can include a plug body, an extension portion, and a tool. The plug body can have a length along a first axis and can be comprised of a keyed connection piece on a first end. The extension portion can connect on one end to a second end of the plug body and on an opposite end to the tool. The plug body can be receivable by a plug receptacle on a receiving adapter or a working device. The accessory can further include a spring-loaded locking mechanism that can be structured and configured to transiently lock the plug body to a receiving adapter or a working device.
Claims21
An accessory for a working device comprising:
- a plug body having a length along a first axis and being comprised of
- a keyed connection piece on a first end, wherein the keyed connection piece is immovable relative to a remainder of the plug body,
- a coiled compression spring positioned near a second end of the plug body, and
- a pivot joint positioned between the first end and the second end of the plug body, wherein the pivot joint includes a pivot pin for connection to a spring-loaded locking mechanism at the singular pivot point, enabling the locking mechanism to pivot relative to the plug body at the singular pivot point,
- an extension portion connected on one end to the second end of the plug body and connectable on an opposite end to a tool, and
- the spring-loaded locking mechanism that is structured and configured to transiently lock the plug body to a receiving adapter or a working device, the spring-loaded locking mechanism being comprised of
- a clip having a first end and a second end that is opposite the first end,
- a front hook on the first end, and
- a spring connection pin on an underside of the second end of the clip,
- wherein at least the keyed connection piece of the plug body is insertable into a plug receptacle on a receiving adapter or a working device,
- wherein the entire spring-loaded locking mechanism pivots relative to the plug body at the singular pivot point,
- wherein the spring connection pin has a length that is greater than a width or a depth,
- wherein the length of the spring connection pin is perpendicular to the plug body, and
- wherein the plug body defines a corresponding receiving hole into which the spring connection pin is transiently insertable.
An accessory for a working device comprising:
- a plug body having a length along a first axis and being comprised of
- a keyed connection piece on a first end, wherein the keyed connection piece is immovable relative to a remainder of the plug body,
- a coiled compression spring positioned near a second end of the plug body, and
- a pivot joint positioned between the first end and the second end of the plug body, wherein the pivot joint includes a pivot pin for connection to a spring-loaded locking mechanism at the singular pivot point, enabling the locking mechanism to pivot relative to the plug body at the singular pivot point,
- an extension portion connected on one end to the second end of the plug body and connectable on an opposite end to a tool, and
- the spring-loaded locking mechanism that is structured and configured to transiently lock the plug body to a receiving adapter or a working device, the spring-loaded locking mechanism being comprised of
- a clip having a first end and a second end that is opposite the first end,
- a front hook on the first end, and
- a spring connection pin on an underside of the second end of the clip,
- wherein at least the keyed connection piece of the plug body is insertable into a plug receptacle on a receiving adapter or a working device,
- wherein the entire spring-loaded locking mechanism pivots relative to the plug body at a singular pivot point,
- wherein the spring connection pin has a length that is greater than a width or a depth,
- wherein the length of the spring connection pin is perpendicular to the plug body,
- wherein the keyed connection piece is multi-lobed, and
- wherein the front hook is positioned over at least a portion of the multi-lobed connection piece.
An accessory for a working device comprising:
- a plug body having a length along a first axis and being comprised of a keyed connection piece on a first end, wherein the keyed connection piece is immovable relative to a remainder of the plug body, and
- an extension portion connected on one end to a second end of the plug body and connectable on an opposite end to a tool,
- wherein
- at least the keyed connection piece of the plug body is insertable into a plug receptacle on a receiving adapter or a working device
- the plug body is further comprised of a mount and a pivot joint positioned on the mount,
- the pivot joint connects to a clip of a spring-loaded locking mechanism,
- the clip is located along a single side of the plug body,
- the spring-loaded locking mechanism pivots only at the connection point of the clip to the pivot joint,
- the mount is positioned entirely in between the keyed connection piece and the extension portion,
- the pivot joint is positioned near a first end of the mount,
- the spring-loaded locking mechanism includes a spring connection pin that is located on an underside of the clip and has a length that is perpendicular to the mount, and
- the mount defines a corresponding hole on a second, opposite end of the mount into which the spring connection pin is transiently insertable.
An accessory in combination with a working device or a receiving adapter,
- the accessory comprising:
- a plug body having a length along a first axis and being comprised of a keyed connection piece on a first end, wherein the keyed connection piece is immovable relative to a remainder of the plug body, and
- an extension portion connected on one end to a second end of the plug body and connectable on an opposite end to a tool,
- wherein
- at least the keyed connection piece of the plug body is insertable into a plug receptacle on the working device or the receiving adapter,
- the accessory is further comprised of a spring-loaded locking mechanism having a front hook on a first end,
- the front hook is a separate component from the keyed connection piece, and
- the front hook fits into a complimentary receptacle on the working device or the receiving adapter.
A method of using an accessory, the method comprising inserting a plug body into a plug receptacle on a receiving adapter or working device,
- wherein the plug body has a keyed connection piece that is immovable relative to a remainder of the plug body;
- compressing a first end of a spring-loaded locking mechanism toward the plug body;
- securing a front hook of the spring-loaded locking mechanism over a hook receptacle on the receiving adapter or working device, wherein the front hook is positioned over at least a portion of the keyed connection piece;
- and
- releasing the first end of the spring-loaded locking mechanism, wherein a compression spring pushes the spring-loaded locking mechanism away from the plug body.
