Abstract

A power tool stand includes a base and a projecting frame connected to the base. The power tool stand also comprises a power tool carriage moveably mounted on the projecting frame. The power tool stand further comprises a tool interface mounted on the power tool carriage arranged to secure a removeable power tool. The power tool carriage comprises at least one duct having a duct inlet in fluid communication with a duct outlet.

Claims (37)

1 . A power tool stand comprising:

a base;

a projecting frame connected to the base;

a power tool carriage moveably mounted on the projecting frame; a tool interface on the power tool carriage configured to receive a removable power tool, the tool interface having a tool interface plane; and

a battery interface on the power tool carriage, having a battery interface plane;

being substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the projecting frame;

wherein the battery interface is configured to receive a removable battery pack; and

wherein the removable battery pack is mountable to the battery interface by sliding the removable battery pack toward the base along a direction towards the base.

2 . The power tool stand of claim 1 , wherein the removable power tool is mountable on the power tool carriage in a direction towards the base.

3 . The power tool stand of claim 2 , wherein the first battery interface plane is substantially parallel to the tool interface plane.

4 . The power tool stand of claim 1 , wherein the first battery interface plane is substantially parallel to the tool interface plane.

5 . The power tool stand of claim 1 , wherein the power tool carriage comprises at least one duct;

wherein the at least one duct comprises an inlet on a first side of the power tool carriage.

6 . A power tool stand comprising:

a frame connected to a base;

a power tool carriage moveably mounted on the frame; and

a tool interface on the power tool carriage configured to receive a removeable power tool;

wherein the power tool carriage comprises at least one duct;

wherein the at least one duct comprises an inlet on a first side of the power tool carriage.

7 . The power tool stand of claim 6 , wherein the at least one duct comprises a water duct connectable to a supply of water.

8 . The power tool stand of claim 6 , wherein the at least one duct comprises an air duct connectable to supply of air or a vacuum supply.

9 . The power tool stand of claim 6 , wherein the inlet comprises a toolless connection configured to connect to a water hose, an air hose, or a vacuum hose.

10 . The power tool stand of claim 6 , wherein the power tool carriage is slidable along a longitudinal axis of the frame.

11 . The power tool stand of claim 6 , wherein the power tool carriage comprises at least one accessory electrical interface configured to connect to at least one accessory.

12 . The power tool stand of claim 11 , wherein the at least one accessory electrical interface is electrically connected to a battery interface such that a removeable battery may supply power to the at least one accessory when the removeable battery is mounted on the battery interface and the at least one accessory is electrically connected to the at least one accessory electrical interface.

13 . A power tool stand comprising:

a frame connected to a base;

a power tool carriage moveably mounted on the frame; and

a tool interface on the power tool carriage configured to receive a removeable power tool;

wherein the power tool carriage comprises at least one duct having a duct inlet; and

wherein the duct inlet is connectable with a portion of the removeable power tool or a nozzle when the removeable power tool is mounted on the power tool carriage.

14 . The power tool stand of claim 13 , wherein the at least one duct comprises a water duct connectable to a supply of water.

15 . The power tool stand of claim 13 , wherein the at least one duct comprises an air duct connectable to supply of air or a vacuum supply.

16 . The power tool stand of claim 13 , wherein the duct inlet comprises a toolless connection configured to connect to a water hose, an air hose, or a vacuum hose.

17 . The power tool stand of claim 13 , wherein the power tool carriage is slidable along a longitudinal axis of the frame.

18 . The power tool stand of claim 13 , wherein the power tool carriage comprises at least one accessory electrical interface configured to connect to at least one accessory.

19 . The power tool stand of claim 18 , wherein the at least one accessory electrical interface is electrically connected to a battery interface such that a removeable battery may supply power to the at least one accessory when the removeable battery is mounted on the battery interface and the at least one accessory is electrically connected to the at least one accessory electrical interface.
