21 . A vacuum cup bulb changer power tool system, comprising:
a power base for powering a vacuum cup bulb changer attachment, the power base configured to power various other functional modules;
a mounting plate of the power base for associating the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment with the power base; and
a control module disposed in the power base for controlling the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment,
wherein the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment comprises a vacuum cup for grasping a bulb in connection with a vacuum chamber wherein the vacuum chamber is associated with a vacuum source.
22 . The system of claim 21 , comprising a power head associated with the power base, the power head comprises a motor operably connected to a power take-off coupling to provide a power input from the motor to the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment.
23 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the control module comprises an energy storage facility and an on/off actuation switch to control power supply to the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment.
24 . The system of claim 22 , further comprising a pole disposed between the power head and a control module of the power base, wherein the pole is at least one of telescoping, coaxially segmented, and off-the-shelf.
25 . The system of claim 21 , wherein a turbine is used to create suction at the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment.
26 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment comprises a rotary head to rotate the bulb.
27 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment comprises an adjustable friction clutch to inhibit over driving the bulb.
28 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment comprises a detachable, staged-size cup to accommodate a range of bulb sizes.
29 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the control module controls the speed of rotation of the vacuum cup.
30 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the vacuum source is disposed within the power base.
31 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the vacuum source is provided separately from the vacuum cup bulb changer power tool system.
32 . A method of a vacuum cup bulb changer power tool system, comprising:
powering a vacuum cup bulb changer attachment with a power base, the power base configured to power various other functional modules;
associating the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment with the power base through a mounting plate of the power base; and
controlling the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment using a control module disposed in the power base,
wherein the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment comprises a vacuum cup for grasping a bulb in connection with a vacuum chamber, wherein the vacuum chamber is associated with a vacuum source.
33 . The method of claim 32 , further comprising associating a power head with the power base, the power head comprising a motor operably connected to a power take-off coupling to provide a power input from the motor to the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment.
34 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the control module comprises an energy storage facility and an on/off actuation switch to control power supply to the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment.
35 . The method of claim 33 , further comprising disposing a pole between a power head and a control module of the power base, wherein the pole is at least one of telescoping, coaxially segmented, and off-the-shelf.
36 . The method of claim 32 , wherein a turbine is used to create suction at the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment.
37 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment comprises a rotary head to rotate the bulb.
38 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment comprises an adjustable friction clutch to inhibit over driving the bulb.
39 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the vacuum cup bulb changer attachment comprises a detachable, staged-size cup to accommodate a range of bulb sizes.
40 . The method of claim 32 , wherein the control module controls the speed of rotation of the vacuum cup.
