An accessory for coupling to an attachment mechanism of an oscillating power tool includes a working end, an opposite rear end, and a fitment portion adjacent the rear end portion. The fitment portion includes a central opening having a central portion and a rearward portion open to the rear end, and configured to receive a post of a tool clamping mechanism. The fitment portion further includes a first plurality of openings in communication with and extending radially outward from the central portion, a second plurality of openings not in communication with and positioned radially outward from the central portion. The central portion, the first plurality of openings, and the second plurality of openings are configured to couple the fitment portion to a plurality of different configurations of attachment mechanisms for oscillating power tools.

A device for connecting a tool to an arm of a robot, comprising: —a body (2; 32) having an annular wall provided with openings (6; 36), received within which are one or more balls (8; 38), which are mobile within said openings between an inoperative position and an operative position, in said operative position said balls projecting from said wall to engage corresponding portions of said tool and clamping the latter on said arm; and —a piston (4; 34), configured for co-operating with said balls and governed fluid-dynamically between a first position and a second position, wherein, in said second position, —said piston forces said-balls into said operative position, and, in said first position, said piston releases said balls so that they can move into said inoperative position. The device is characterized in that it comprises safety means (15, 55, 65, 75), which, in an active condition thereof, engage said piston (4; 34) in said second position so as to block it in said second position in order to prevent displacement of said balls into said inoperative position.

A power tool has a driving shaft for driving a working element and a clamping device for clamping the working element. The clamping device has a clamping position in which the working element may be fixed relative to the driving shaft and a release position in which the working element can be removed from the driving shaft. An operating member is coupled to the clamping device for moving the clamping device between positions. The clamping device also has a rotating position in which the working element can be rotated by an angle relative to the driving shaft and the operating member has an operating position that corresponds to the rotating position.

The present invention relates to a device for detaching/attaching a hand grinder polishing disk, the device being clamped on the rotating shaft of a grinder main body so as to enable the easier and quicker detachment/attachment of a consumable polishing disk used for finishing, cutting, severing, etc. the surface of a target object, or to enable the definite prevention of loosening, vibration phenomenon, etc. The present invention comprises: a grinder main body which has a rotating shaft operating at a high speed by means of air pressure or the driving of an electric motor; a power transmission member which has a stopping protrusion formed on the upper end part of the body thereof and a hexagonal body including a flange formed on the center part of the body thereof, and which is clamped on the rotating shaft of the grinder main body by a fixing bolt; a stopper main body which has a hexagonal hole formed on the inner circumferential surface thereof for accommodating the power transmission member, and which has an arc-shaped seat groove formed on the circumference of the hexagonal hole so as to face each other; a pair of upper and lower rotating plates which are each fitted in a flat plate portion on the upper end of the stopper main body; and a disk holder which has an upper fixing ring and a lower support plate assembled on the power transmission member for fixing an abrasive material.

An oscillatingly driven machine tool having a housing in which a motor with a motor shaft is received, on which an eccentric element is accommodated, with a spindle head, with a tool spindle that is rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis in the spindle head, on which a coupling element is non-rotatably received, which cooperates with the eccentric element for generating a movement of the tool spindle which oscillates about its longitudinal axis such that, in addition to the oscillating movement, a differing, superimposed movement is introduced into the coupling element.

A power tool includes a housing (10), a spindle (4) supported in the housing to be pivotable or rotatable about a driving axis, a clamping shaft (60) that is selectively movable in the up-down direction relative to the spindle, a biasing member (70), a release member (71) and an actuating member (50). The release member is selectively movable in the up-down direction relative to the spindle and is configured to selectively interrupt transmission of upward biasing force from the biasing member to the clamping shaft. The release member is also configured to be locked to the spindle in a locked position while transmission of the biasing force is being interrupted. The actuating member is movable upward in the up-down direction relative to the spindle in response to being pressed upward by a clamping part (64) or by a tool accessory (91) to thereby unlock the release member from the spindle.

An accessory for an oscillating power tool that oscillatingly drives a removably attachable output element. The accessory includes an attachment portion configured to be removably attached to a housing of the oscillating power tool on a side of the output element that faces the housing. The attachment portion is at least partially annular and defines an axial opening therethrough. The attachment portion includes a circumferential inner surface defining the axial opening and a circumferential outer surface opposite the inner surface. The attachment portion is configured to snap-fit with the power tool housing.
