Abstract
A handheld drill press device includes a spine with a longitudinal section having a geared rack located thereon and a transverse section configured to receive and be coupled to a handheld drill. A carriage frame is slidably coupled to the spine and includes a workpiece connection interface located about the carriage. A gear and a lever handle are both rotatably coupled to the carriage frame wherein the gear is operable to mesh with the geared rack and the lever is configured to provide a torque to the gear and thereby move the carriage frame with respect to the spine.
Claims14
A handheld drill press device, comprising:
- a spine having a longitudinal section having a geared rack located thereon and a transverse section configured to receive a handheld drill;
- a carriage frame slidably coupled to the spine having a workpiece connection interface located about the carriage;
- a gear rotatably coupled to the carriage frame and operable to mesh with the geared rack;
- and
- a lever handle configured to provide a torque to the gear and thereby move the carriage frame with respect to the spine.
A portable handheld drill press device, comprising:
- a spine having a longitudinal section and a transverse section;
- a drill connection interface being removably coupled to a distal end of the transverse section of the spine, the drill connection interface being configured to receive a drill end of a handheld drill;
- a rack having a plurality of geared teeth coupled to an exterior surface of the longitudinal section of the spine, the exterior surface being located on an opposing side of the spine from the transverse section;
- a carriage frame, movably coupled to and circumventing the longitudinal section of the spine;
- a workpiece connection interface being removably coupled to a distal end of the carriage frame, the workpiece connection interface being configured to receive a workpiece to be worked upon by the handheld drill;
- a gear coupled to the carriage frame having a plurality of gear teeth being configured to mesh with the plurality of geared teeth of the rack;
- a lever handle being rotatably coupled to the carriage frame about the gear;
- and
- a ratcheting mechanism coupled to the lever handle, wherein application of a force about the end of the lever handle causes the ratcheting mechanism to engage the gear thus causing the gear to rotate and therefore displace the carriage frame with respect to the spine.
