Apparatus and method for reducing low frequency vibrations in power tools

Abstract

A power tool having a low frequency reduction apparatus includes a first handle portion, a second handle portion, and a dual-density bladder disposed between the first and second handle portions. By disposing such bladder accordingly, the second handle portion is effectively isolated from the first handle portion, thus reducing the low frequency vibrations transmitted to the second handle portion. Preferably, a gap is formed between the first and second handle portions. In another embodiment of the invention, a dual-density bladder between a handle portion and a main housing portion of the power tool.

I claim: 
     
       1. A power tool comprising: a first handle portion,   a second handle portion, and   a dual-density bladder disposed between the first and second handle portions.   
     
     
       2. The power tool of claim 1, wherein a gap is formed between the first and second handle portions. 
     
     
       3. A power tool comprising: a handle portion,   a main housing portion, and   a dual-density bladder disposed between the handle portion and the main housing portion.   
     
     
       4. The power tool of claim 3, wherein a gap is formed between the first and second handle portions.
