Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, one of the general disadvantages of this type of mechanism is that the mechanism does not attach the tool shaft to the tool in a manner that prevents the tool from being or becoming misaligned with respect to the tool during use of the tool and implement, making it often necessary to attach the tool Remove and reattach it to the tool to reposition the implement into proper alignment with the tool
[0007] Also, another common disadvantage of this type of mechanism is that the connection between the shaft of the implement and the tool is not perfectly rigid, allowing the user to feel the amount of movement, toggle or play between the handle and implement
This may lead to errors during use, or to a perceived loss of quality or confidence in the tool's performance

Embodiment Construction

[0033] Referring now to the drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the specification, tool handles constructed in accordance with the present invention are described in figure 1 The total is represented by 100. The handle 100 can be formed into any shape for use as a hand tool, and is preferably ergonomically formed with tactile features 102 to help an individual maintain a firm grip on the handle 100 . In addition to the features 102, the handle 100 may also have other design elements 104 positioned thereon as desired. An example of such a handle is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 9,027,219 to Gauthier et al., entitled "Shaft Securing Mechanism For A Tool," which is expressly referenced in its entirety for all purposes at way into this article.

[0034] Watch now Figure 1-11 , the handle 100 has a securing mechanism 106 capable of releasably securing an implement shaft 108 to the handle 100 . Shaft 108 may include any implement or feature ...

Abstract

A securing mechanism is provided for a tool that allows for the attachment and release of the shafts of a variety of implements from the tool. The mechanism has a construction that provides an easilyreleasable, but secure engagement of the implement shaft within the mechanism while also having an alignment feature which engages the implement at multiple locations when engaged with the mechanism to maintain the alignment and concentricity of the implement shaft with regard to the mechanism and the tool when in use.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 796,672, filed January 25, 2019, and U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 940,413, filed November 26, 2019, both in their entirety for all purposes It is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to hand tools, and more particularly to a mechanism for releasably securing various implements and shafts to hand tools. Background technique [0004] Hand tools are designed to be used in a variety of ways to enable individuals to perform a variety of tasks. These tools include handles that can be grasped by an individual for safer tool handling. [0005] Many tools of this type include various mechanisms that enable the tool to have a number of different implements with attachment shafts that are releasably attached to the tool. These mechanisms enable the shaft of the implement to be attache...
