Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to an eccentric mechanism for coupling a tool head with a tool handle. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to the eccentric mechanism having a tilt-avoiding mechanism.
  • Cleaning devices such as a broom are used in various application areas such as gardening, household etc. for cleaning purposes.
  • Such cleaning devices may generally include a handle coupled with a broom head.
  • the handle may be coupled to the broom head through various coupling mechanisms known in the art.
  • One of the examples of such a coupling mechanism is an eccentric mechanism.
  • An eccentric mechanism may use a lever to provide a pressing force between two parts such that the two parts may be held together.
  • the eccentric mechanism may hold the handle and the broom head together.
  • the eccentric mechanism provides efficient means to couple the broom head with the handle.
  • the lever may be operated by a user to switch between an open and a closed position.
  • the lever of the eccentric mechanism may tilt sideways while the lever is switched between the closed position and the open position. Such tilting motion may adversely affect the coupling action of the eccentric mechanism. Further, unwanted tilting may damage the parts of the broom head and the handle as well.
  • the eccentric mechanism for coupling a tool handle with a tool head.
  • the eccentric mechanism includes a first pin member extending through an opening in the tool handle.
  • the eccentric mechanism includes a second pin member coupled to the first pin member.

  • the lever includes at least one arcuate portion which presses against the tool head in the closed position.
  • the eccentric mechanism is characterized in that the eccentric mechanism further includes a tilt-avoiding mechanism associated with the lever.
  • the tilt-avoiding mechanism provides a stable configuration for the eccentric mechanism when the lever is in the open position.
  • the tilt-avoiding mechanism prevents the lever from tilting sideways in the open position.
  • the tilt-avoiding mechanism includes at least one protrusion next to the at least one arcuate portion of the lever.

  • the protrusion has a semi-circular shape.
  • the semi-circular shape of the protrusions ensures that the protrusions are always engaged in the slits in both open position and the closed position of the lever. Thus, the tilting of the lever is prevented which provides stability to the eccentric mechanism.
