Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to various improvements for power tools, and particularly to a cord set load protector.
  • the power cord is installed in the tool housing with a small service loop, or extra length of cable, between the cord clamp and the portion of the tool housing that secures the cord protector.
  • a crimp-on device is installed on the power cord cable next to the cord protector. When the cord is subjected to jerking, the cable moves axially relative to the cord protector. As the cable moves, the crimp-on device compresses the extended end of the cord protector absorbing energy and reducing the forces transmitted to the cord set conductors or connections that are disposed within the housing.
  • an exemplary power tool 10 having a cord set load protector device 114 for preventing high forces imposed on a power cord 112 from impacting the connections of the cord 112 to the electrical power tool 10.
  • the power tool 10 includes a cord 112 and a cord protector 114 extending from the rear end of the tool.
  • the cord protector 114 is mounted within a recess 116 provided in the power tool housing 118.
  • the recess 116 can be square or round in cross-section and defines a cavity therein for receiving a radially extending flange portion 120 of the elastomeric cord protector 114.
  • the radial extending flange portion 120 is disposed against a shoulder portion 122.
  • a crimp-on device 124 is clamped or crimped onto the power cord 112 and includes a radially extending flange portion 126 which is disposed against an end portion of the cord protector 114 inside of the chamber 116 of housing 118.
  • the flange portion 126 is disposed against a radially inwardly extending shoulder 128 of the cavity 116 provided in the housing 118.
  • the crimp-on device 124 engages the power cord so as to be axially and rotatably fixed to the power cord 112 in a manner that will be described in greater detail herein.
  • the power cord 112 is also clamped to the tool housing by a cord clamp 130 provided within the power tool 10 in such a way that an extra cable length 112a is provided within the housing between the crimp-on device 124 and cord clamp 130.
  • the cord clamp 130 can be mounted to the housing by fasteners 132 or by other known securing methods, such as rivets, welds, grommets, etc.
  • the cord clamp 130 can be spaced from the recess 116 by up to several inches.
  • Locating the cord clamp 130 further inward from the recess 116 improves cord flex durability by placing the cord stresses from the cord being flexed and the stresses on the cord due to the clamp at two different locations instead of both being generally at the same location. This improves the flex life of the conductors.
  • the crimp-on device 124 can take-on many forms.
  • the crimp-on device 124 can include a first clamp half 136 and a second clamp half 138.
  • Each clamp half 136, 138 is provided with semicylindrical body portions 140 each provided with a plurality of radially inwardly extending ribs 142 designed to engage and clamp against the outer surface of the power cord 112.
  • the first clamp half 136 is provided with a plurality of apertures 144 each adapted to receive a plurality of corresponding locking fingers 146 provided on the second clamp half 138.
  • Each of the first and second clamp halves 136, 138 include radial flange portions 126a, 126b, respectively, which define the radially extending flange portion 126 of the crimp-on device 124.
  • the locking fingers 146 secure the second clamp half 138 to the first clamp half 136 in a clamping engagement on the power cord 112 so as to prevent axial or rotational movement of the power cord 112 relative to the clamp device 124. It should be understood that other clamp or crimp-on arrangements can be utilized with the cord-set load protector 110, according to the principles of the present disclosure.
  • an alternative cord set load protector 110' is shown including a split clamp device 124' received in a recess 302 within the handle section 300 to prevent the assembly from twisting or being pushed into the handle set.
  • the split clamp 124' is independent of the handle set 300 and traps the complete cord set 112 and secondary wrap of filler strands.
  • the cord protector 114' includes added material at the mounting end that prevents twist and creates a spring to absorb shock.
  • cord set load protector 110 can comprise a spring lever assembly 400.
  • spring lever assembly 400 can comprise a spring lever 402 and a cord clamp 130 fixedly coupled to spring lever 402 and power cord 112.
  • spring lever 402 can be fixedly coupled to housing 118 via one or more retaining members 404 extending from housing 118. More particularly, spring lever 402 can comprise a plurality of corresponding mounting apertures 406 (see Figure 15 ) sized to receive retaining members 404 therethrough.
  • retaining members 404 can be deformable, such as through heat staking or welding, to permanently retain spring lever 402 in a predetermined operable position (see Figure 14 ).
  • Retaining members 404 can be spaced apart to define a plane extending between the centers thereof, wherein the plane is generally orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of power cord 112. Additionally, retaining member 404 can be a sleeve or slot formed in housing 118 for receiving and retaining an end of spring lever 402.
  • cord set load protector 110 can comprise a cord clamp 408 fixedly coupled to spring lever 402.
  • cord clamp 408 can comprise a pair of clamping members 410 adapted to be coupled together via fasteners 412 ( Figure 14 ).
  • each clamping member 410 can comprise an enlarged aperture 414 for permitting a shank portion of fastener 412 to pass through and a threaded aperture 416 for threadedly engaging fastener 412.
  • Each clamping member 410 can comprise a slot 418 formed therein to capture a side of spring lever 402 and a generally circular portion 420 to capture power cord 112.
  • cord clamp 408 can be mounted on an end of spring lever 402 such that the slot 418 of each clamping member 410 engages a side of spring lever 402.
  • power cord 112 can extend between clamping member 410.
  • clamping members 410 Upon tightening of fasteners 412, clamping members 410 are drawn together to exert a clamping and retaining force on both spring lever 402 and power cord 112. In this manner, cord clamp 408 is fixedly coupled to power cord 112 for movement therewith.
  • clamping members 410 are configured such that a single manufacturing piece can be used on opposing sides of spring lever 402.
  • spring lever 402 can comprise a slotted end 422 for receiving power cord 112 therethrough.
  • spring lever 402 During use, if sufficient force is applied to power cord 112, the associated force is transmitted through cord clamp 408 and against spring lever 402 to deflect spring lever 402 between a relaxed position ( Figures 8, 10 , 12 , and 14 ) and a deflected position ( Figures 9, 11 , and 13 ). This deflection provides force absorption along axis PC.
  • the biasing force of spring lever 402 can be determined based upon, in part, the size and length of spring lever 402 and the material thereof. It should be understood, however, that in some embodiments additional biasing force may be desired. In such cases, a supplemental spring member 430 ( Figures 10 and 11 ) may be used disposed between cord clamp 408 and housing 118.
  • Supplemental spring 430 can be a compression spring having either linear or progressive spring rates. Additionally, supplemental spring member 430 could include a coil spring, torsion spring, elastomeric member, or the like. Spring member 430 can be disposed coaxial with power cord 112 to maintain alignment of spring member 430 with power cord 112. It should be appreciated that spring member 430 can be used separate from spring lever 402, such as illustrated in FIGS. 17 and 18 .
  • spring lever 402 can be pivotally coupled about an axis 450 for pivotal movement between a relaxed position ( Figure 12 ) and a deflected position ( Figure 13 ).
  • a torsion spring 452 can be used for applying an opposing biasing force to power cord 112 when under load.
  • a bellmouth 434 can be used to limit the deflection of power cord 112 exiting housing 118.
  • Bellmouth 434 can comprise a generally linear body portion 436 and a curved exit 438 having an curved profile.
  • Bellmouth 434 can be fixedly coupled to cord clamp 408 for movement therewith such that it moves together with cord clamp 408 when power cord 112 is under load.
  • spring lever 402 can include features, materials, or employ other manufacturing techniques directed to tailoring a compliant response when under load (i.e. a biasing profile).
  • spring lever 402 can comprise a molded or formed member having a cross-sectional shape that is non-planar and/or non-uniform. This cross-sectional shape can provide a nonlinear compliant response when under load to permit initial deflection under light loads and progressively less deflection under heavier loads.
  • the housing 118 includes an internal labyrinth 450 that engages the cord set load protector 110.
  • the cord 112 includes a cord jacket 452.
  • the cord set load protector 110 engages and surrounds the cord jacket 452.
  • the cord set load protector 110 extends from an interior space of the housing 118 through an opening 454 in the housing 118.
  • the cord set load protector includes the supplemental spring member 430.
  • the supplemental spring member 430 is adjacent to and abuts the cord clamp 408.
  • the labyrinth 450 is positioned between the cord clamp 408 and the opening 454.
  • the labyrinth 450 includes a first boss 456 that extends radially inward from a first portion of an interior surface of the housing 118 and a second boss 458 that extends radially inward from a second portion of the interior surface of the housing 118, the second portion being opposed to the first portion of the interior surface.
  • the first boss 456 extends farther radially inward than the second boss 458.
  • the cord set load protector 110 passes through the labyrinth 450. As the cord set load protector 110 passes through the labyrinth 450 a curve or bend 460 is created in the cord 112/cord jacket 452/cord load set protector 110.
  • Figure 21 illustrates an additional cord protection feature.
  • This embodiment may include an additional bend in the cord 112. Specifically, as the cord 112 extends past the cord clamp 408 towards the motor, a supplementary bend 462 is created in the cord 112 as the cord 112 is curved about the cord clamp 408. This additional bend creates a friction force between conductors of the cord 112 and the cord jacket 452. This frictional force prevents the conductors from being pulled through the cord jacket 452 when the load is applied to the cord 112, as noted above.
