An oscillation drive tool includes an input drive element removably couplable to a drive device. The input drive element is configured to receive a rotational input from the drive device. The tool also includes an output drive element removably couplable to a working device. The tool further includes a drive cam coupled to the input drive element and a cam plate configured to provide an oscillating rotational movement to the output drive element in response to receiving a rotational input from the drive cam.

An oscillation drive with a drive and with an eccentric coupling drive for converting a rotary motion of the drive into an oscillating rotary motion of a tool spindle about its longitudinal axis is disclosed, wherein the eccentric coupling drive has an eccentric with a first eccentricity that is driven by the drive and that works together with a coupling element that is coupled to the tool spindle in order to convert the motion of the eccentric into an oscillating rotary motion of the tool spindle, wherein the eccentric is coupled to an additional eccentric with a second eccentricity so that the eccentricities are superimposed, wherein the relative position between the eccentric and the additional eccentric is adjustable to at least two different positions in order to change the amplitude of the oscillating motions of the tool spindle.

A cam driver includes a support, a cam, a motor, and a retracting torque applicator. The support supports an object. The cam moves the support. The motor rotates the cam and maintains a position of the cam. The retracting torque applicator applies torque to the cam in a direction to move the object away from a counter object that faces the object.

A linkage mechanism includes a pivot assembly, a gear assembly, and a linkage assembly. The pivot assembly pivots around a first rotation axis. The gear assembly is pivoted with the pivot assembly and moves in conjunction with the pivot assembly. The gear assembly includes a cam, and the cam pivots around a second rotation axis. The second rotation axis is not parallel to the first rotation axis. The linkage assembly is disposed at a side of the gear assembly and contacts the cam. When the pivot assembly drives the gear assembly to pivot, the linkage assembly abuts against the cam to produce a relative movement with the cam.

Provided is an electric motor assembly and method for assembling an electric motor assembly within an appliance. The electric motor assembly eliminates the use of a rigid or flexible circuit board. It also eliminates the need for soldering contacts between the electrical switches, circuit board and motor which can increase the possibility of operational failures. The electric motor assembly further provides a single power point wiring connection between the switch and motor terminals and connector port allowing the motorized device to communicate with an appliance controller. Furthermore, by positioning certain mechanical components for operating electrical switches on the baseplate of the electric motor assembly and eliminating secondary components on adjacent brackets, a reduction in the dimensional tolerance stack-up among the electrical switches can be obtained.
