Abstract:
1. A power tool comprising: a housing; a handle having a first end opposite a second end, the first end being moveably mounted to the housing via a first mounting assembly, and the second end being moveably mounted to the housing via a second mounting assembly, such that the first mounting assembly is located at an opposite end of the handle from the second mounting assembly; wherein the first mounting assembly comprises: a first part mounted on the housing and a second part mounted on the first end of the handle, one of the first and second parts comprising a sleeve, the other of the first and second parts comprising a rod mounted in an axially slideable manner in the sleeve to enable the first end of the handle to slide towards or away from the housing; and a biasing mechanism connected between the two parts which biases the first end of the handle away from the housing; wherein the second mounting assembly comprises: a third part mounted on the housing and a fourth part mounted on the second end of the handle, one of the third and fourth parts comprising a support, the other of the third and fourth parts comprising a pin located in the support which is capable of being rotated in the support to enable the second end of the handle to rotate relative to the housing and to move linearly in the support to enable the second end of the handle to move linearly relative to the housing; wherein the support comprises a passage in which the pin is located, the pin being capable of freely moving within the passage either rotationally to enable the second end of the handle to rotate relative to the housing or linearly to enable the second end of the handle to move linearly relative to the housing; and wherein the rod of the first mounting assembly can further move in the sleeve in a direction which is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the rod when it axially slides in the sleeve.
