ABSTRACT:
An operating handle system for a hand-held power tool comprises an operating handle including first and second courses enabling it to be gripped in first and second orientations, respectively. A trigger is movably attached to the operating handle for movement between an operative position for energizing a motor for driving an operating element such as a grinding wheel and an inoperative position at which the motor is de-energized. The trigger includes a first portion associated with the first course and spaced therefrom when the trigger is in the inoperative position and contiguous therewith when in the operative position. The trigger includes a second portion associated with the second course when the trigger is in the inoperative position and contiguous therewith when in the operative position. The first and second courses are mutually perpendicular as are the first and second portions. The trigger is pivotally attached to the operating handle such that when the trigger is in the inoperative position, the first portion and the first course are angularly disposed and the second portion and the second course are angularly disposed, and such that when the trigger is in the operative position, the first portion and the first course are contiguous, and the second portion and the second course are contiguous. The operating handle is generally U-shaped including a third course projecting from the second course at a location distant from the first course and being generally parallel to the first course.
