Abstract
A power adapter includes an adapter shaft having a first end for coupling to a rotary tool and a second end configured to be coupled to a working tool. Additionally, the second end includes a slot. The power adapter also includes a locking mechanism operatively coupled to the second end of the adapter shaft. The locking mechanism includes a dowel pin movable between a first position and a second position within the slot.

A power adapter comprising:
- an adapter shaft having a first end for coupling to a rotary tool and a second end configured to be coupled to a working tool, wherein the second end includes a slot;
- a sliding grip housing the adapter shaft, the sliding grip including an annular abutment and a counterbore at a distal end of the sliding grip that terminates at the annular abutment;
- and
- a locking mechanism operatively coupled to the second end of the adapter shaft, the locking mechanism including:
- a dowel pin movable between a working tool engaging first position and a working tool releasing second position within the slot, and
- a bushing disposed between the sliding grip and the adapter shaft and movable relative to the sliding grip and the adapter shaft,
- wherein the sliding grip is movable between a distal position enabling the dowel pin to assume the first position, and a proximal position enabling the dowel pin to assume the second position.

A power adapter comprising:
- an adapter shaft having a first end for coupling to a rotary tool and a second end configured to be coupled to a working tool, wherein the second end includes a slot having a longitudinal axis angled relative to a longitudinal axis of the adapter shaft;
- wherein the adapter shaft further includes a counterbore about its second end and wherein the slot is in fluid communication with the counterbore;
- a locking mechanism operatively coupled to the second end of the adapter shaft, the locking mechanism including:
- a dowel pin movable between a working tool engaging first position and a working tool releasing second position within the slot;
- a sliding grip configured to house the adapter shaft, the sliding grip including an annular abutment and a counterbore at a distal end of the sliding grip that terminates at the annular abutment, wherein the sliding grip is movable between a distal position enabling the dowel pin to assume the first position, and a proximal position enabling the dowel pin to assume the second position;
- and
- a bushing disposed between the sliding grip and the adapter shaft and movable relative to the sliding grip and the adapter shaft.
