Abstract:
1. A remote trigger actuating mechanism for a power tool, comprising: a mounting bracket; means for fixedly securing said mounting bracket upon the power tool; an elongated handle fixedly secured upon said mounting bracket; a sleeve member disposed substantially concentric-ally around said elongated handle for relative movement with respect to said elongated handle between a forward position and a rearward position; and a linkage member having a rearward end portion fixedly mounted upon said sleeve member and a forward end portion adapted to engage a trigger mechanism of the power tool wherein when said sleeve member is disposed at one of said forward and rearward positions, said forward end portion of said linkage member will be disengaged from the trigger mechanism of the power tool so as not to actuate the power tool, whereas when said sleeve member is disposed at another one of said forward and rearward positions, said forward end portion of said linkage member will be engaged with the trigger mechanism of the power tool so as to actuate the power tool.
