Power tool with battery pack ejector
A power tool has a mechanism for forcing a battery pack at least partially from a cavity that receives a battery pack. A biasing member is in the cavity. A member for retaining the biasing member is also in the cavity. The biasing member forces the battery pack at least partially from the cavity. When the battery pack is locked onto the frame, the biasing member is in a compressed condition and when the battery pack is an unlocked position, the biasing member forces the battery pack at least partially from the frame.
1. A power tool, comprising:
a housing having a cavity for receiving a battery pack;
a biasing member in the cavity, the biasing member for forcing the battery pack at least partially from the cavity;
a member for retaining the biasing member in the cavity, the member for retaining the biasing member having a guide for guiding the battery pack into contact with the biasing member such that when the battery pack is locked in the cavity the biasing member is in a compressed condition and when the battery pack is unlocked the biasing member forces the battery pack at least partially from the cavity.
2. A power tool, comprising:
a motor portion, a handle portion extending away from the motor portion and a base portion at a distal end of the handle portion away from the motor portion;
the base portion comprising a battery receiving cavity for receiving a battery pack;
a pair of biasing members located in the cavity at a forward end;
an electrical connector located between the biasing members; and
wherein the cavity is configured to receive the battery pack such that the battery pack compresses the biasing members and engages the electrical connector.
