Portable Electric Tool

Patent No. EP2659765 (titled "Portable Electric Tool") was filed by Felco Motion on May 3, 2013. The application was issued on Apr 14, 2021.

Patent Summary

A method for introducing commands in a portable electric tool utilizes a trigger to control a movable blade, where pressing the trigger provokes blade movement and releasing it moves the blade in the opposite direction. To execute a special function, the method employs specific trigger input sequences: either successively pressing the trigger twice within a period below a first threshold (T1), and/or holding the trigger pressed for a period exceeding a second threshold (T2). An electronic circuit monitors the trigger's instantaneous position—via magnetic, potentiometric, inductive, capacitive, or optical sensors—to recognize these predetermined sequences. This system eliminates the need for additional haptic members, reducing tool weight, wiring complexity, and operational interruptions.
