DEFINITION

Classification: 408/127

(under subclass 124) Device including either (1) a driveshaft turning about an axis that intersects and is skewed with respect to the tool-axis, which driveshaft is rotatably connected to the tool at the point where the tool-axis and the driveshaft-axis intersect so that rotary effort is transmitted from the driveshaft to the tool; or including (2) a shaft-like member connected to the tool to rotate therewith, which shaft-like member is adapted to bend and transmit rotary effort from a driveshaft turning about an axis other than the tool-axis directly to the tool; wherein the means to apply rotary effort is capable of functioning over a range of tool-axis/driveshaft-axis angles.
