Abstract
A mounting assembly for moveably mounting a handle of a power tool to a housing of the power tool is disclosed. The mounting assembly has a metal bar (324) mounted to a housing (290) of the power tool and a vibration damper (332) mounted to a handle (294) of the power tool and slidably mounted to the metal bar. The vibration damper includes a vibration damping member (344) for damping vibrations tending to cause the vibration damper to pivot relative to the metal bar about an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the metal bar.
Claims15
A mounting assembly for moveably mounting a handle of a power tool to a housing of the power tool, the assembly comprising:
- a first mounting member adapted to be mounted to one of the housing of the power tool and the handle of the power tool;
- a second mounting member adapted to be mounted to the other of the housing of the power tool and the handle of the power tool and to slidably engage the first mounting member to enable movement of the first mounting member relative to the second mounting member along a sliding axis;
- and
- at least one first vibration damping member, the at least one dampening member comprising at least one first resilient member disposed around the first mounting member and a sliding portion dispose adjacent the first mounting member;
- and
- wherein the at least one first resilient member is compressed in a Z direction when the first mounting member pivots relative to the second mounting member about an axis substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the handle.
