Abstract
A power tool can be split into two ends and a pole can be inserted between the two ends. Each end of the power tool has an electrical connector that maintains electrical communication between the two ends. When the ends are separated, the extension pole can be attached to each end and each end of the pole has electrical connectors so that the two ends stay in electrical communication even with the pole in place allowing the trigger and battery to maintain electrical connectivity with the motor and implement.
Claims26
A power tool comprising:
- a housing having a tool end and a handle end, said handle end having a battery and said tool end having a motor;
- wiring in said handle end, wherein said wiring extends from said battery to a first connector in said handle end;
- a second connector on said tool end that electrically connects to said first connector when said tool end and said handle end are removably mated together, said second connector in electrical connection with said motor;
- and
- a latch mechanism that releasably attaches said tool end to said handle end.
An extendable power tool comprising:
- a housing having a tool end and a handle end, said handle end having a battery and said tool end having a motor;
- wiring in said handle end extending from said battery to a first connector in said handle end;
- a second connector on said tool end that electrically connects to said first connector and that electrically connects to said motor;
- and
- an extension pole that can be inserted between said tool end and said handle end when said tool end and said handle end are separated.
An extendable chainsaw comprising:
- a tool end having a chain saw removably attached to a handle end having a handle and a trigger mechanism;
- a first electrical connector on said handle end;
- a second electrical connector on said tool end;
- wherein said second electrical connector of said tool end and said first electrical connector of said handle end electrically connect when said tool end is releasably connected to said handle end, said handle end having a battery pack powering a motor mounted on said tool end through said first and said second electrical connectors.
An expandable power tool comprising:
- a power tool separable into a trigger end and an implement end, said trigger end having a user actuated trigger positioned thereon, said implement end having a motor, said motor and said trigger in electrical controlling connectivity;
- a power supply at either of said trigger end or said implement end;
- a mechanical retaining mechanism removably connecting said trigger end with said implement end, said retaining mechanism positioned on either said trigger end or said implement end and connecting to the other of said trigger end or implement end;
- wherein said trigger on said trigger end electronically controls said motor and wherein said trigger end and said implement end are in electrically removable contact with each other.
