Patent ID: 7303028

Claim:
A power tool comprising: a housing for mechanical and electrical components of the power tool, wherein an exterior surface of the housing has an elongate mounting portion along which is an arcuate track; a handle having a distal gripping portion contiguous with a proximal non-gripping portion mounted on the elongate mounting portion of the housing, wherein an outer circumferential surface of the proximal non-gripping portion is provided with an elongate engaging portion arcuately engageable with the arcuate track so that the handle can slide along the arcuate track to allow the orientation of the handle and the housing to be angularly adjustable; and a locking assembly for selectively interlocking the handle and the housing, wherein the locking assembly comprises: an inner hasp pivotally coupled to the elongate mounting portion of the housing at a first position; and an outer hasp pivotally coupled to the elongate mounting portion of the housing at a second position, wherein the first position and second position are spaced apart along the elongate mounting portion and wherein the inner hasp and outer hasp are mutually pivotal between (A) a partially overlapping juxtapositional engagement with the inner circumferential surface of the proximal non-gripping portion whereby to interlock the housing and the handle and (B) a non-overlapping juxtapositional disengagement from the inner circumferential surface of the proximal non-gripping portion whereby the housing and the handle are not interlocked.
