Abstract
An accessory tool for an oscillating power tool includes a blade portion including a first lateral edge portion, a second lateral edge portion, and a leading edge portion, the leading edge portion defining a cutting edge. A reinforcement structure extends linearly across the blade portion from a first position located on the leading edge portion proximate the first lateral edge portion to a second position located on the second lateral edge portion and spaced apart from the leading edge portion. The reinforcement structure defines a cutting zone that encompasses a leading region of the blade portion between the reinforcement structure and the leading edge portion, the reinforcement structure being configured to increase a stiffness of the blade portion.

An accessory tool for an oscillating power tool, comprising:
- an attachment portion configured to mate with an oscillating drive member of a power tool;
- a blade portion including a first lateral edge portion, a second lateral edge portion, and a leading edge portion, the leading edge portion defining a cutting edge;
- a reinforcement structure extending across the blade portion from a first position located on the leading edge portion proximate the first lateral edge portion to a second position located on the second lateral edge portion and spaced apart from the leading edge portion,
- wherein the reinforcement structure defines a cutting zone that encompasses a leading region of the blade portion between the reinforcement structure and the leading edge portion, the reinforcement structure being configured to increase a stiffness of the blade portion.
An oscillating power tool comprising:
- a portable housing
- a motor enclosed within the housing;
- a tool holder extending from the housing and configured to be oscillated by the motor about an oscillation axis;
- and
- an accessory tool including:
- a mounting portion configured to be releasably retained by the tool holder;
- a blade portion including a first lateral edge portion, a second lateral edge portion, and a leading edge portion, the leading edge portion defining a cutting edge;
- and
- a reinforcement structure extending linearly across the blade portion from a first position located on the leading edge portion proximate the first lateral edge portion to a second position located on the second lateral edge portion and spaced apart from the leading edge portion,
- wherein the reinforcement structure defines a cutting zone that encompasses a leading region of the blade portion between the reinforcement structure and the leading edge portion, the reinforcement structure being configured to increase a stiffness of the blade portion.
