Problems solved by technology

That is, during operation, the operator may need to keep his eyes fixed on the workpiece, so that he may not be able to respond to the emitted light indications
This may also be due to the location of the indicator on the tool which may not be visible to the operator in a particular work position

Abstract

The invention relates to an indicating device (11) for a power tool (10), comprising a cover (12), an electric light source (13) and at least one light-transmitting lens (14). The indicating device (11) comprises a reflector (15) in which said electric light source (13) is at least partially contained. The lens (14) has a planar shape extending from the inner surface (16) facing the light-emitting part (17) of the emitter (15) to the outer surface (18) and adapted to pass through the At least one slot-shaped opening (19) extends wherein the lens (14) is configured to emit light in a plurality of directions along the cover (12) separated by an angle of at least 90 degrees, thereby providing light visible from different angles of the pointing device Signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an indicating device for a power tool. In particular, the invention relates to an indicating device having improved visibility. Background technique [0002] Power tools (for example, nutrunners or screwdrivers) are becoming increasingly complex. Today's conventional industrial power tools are provided with sensors (eg angle encoders and / or torque meters) which enable control of the quality of the operating work performed (eg tightening a joint). Many power tools are therefore provided with some kind of indicating device configured to signal to the operator that the operation performed is OK or NOK. Typically, a successful operation job (OK) can be indicated with a green light and an unsuccessful operation job (NOK) can be indicated with a red light. [0003] A problem with conventional pointing devices is the location of the pointing device. That is, during operation, the operator may need to keep his eyes fixed on the wor...
