Description

Clip accessory mounting system The present application claims priority from U.S. application Ser. No.63/715,259, filed on 1 at 11 at 2024, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field The present disclosure relates to hand held power tools, and more particularly to hand held power tool systems having multiple accessory tools. Background The manual electric sander has various models so as to adapt to different applications. These models include random orbit models and orbit models. Conventional sanding machines often use a sanding plate attached by screws to a main drive plate that is connected to a motor eccentric and a flexible mounting arm. The sanding plate is used to modify the surface of the work piece. Some hand-held power tools are configured for use with different types of accessory tools in addition to sander tools. Changing between accessory tools requires removing one accessory tool and changing another accessory tool. In many systems, this process is cumbersome and may result in unstable attachment tool attachment. There is a need for a system that allows a user to quickly and easily switch between different accessories. It would be beneficial to have a system that ensures that accessories remain securely connected during use, thereby providing reliable and safe operation. A system that allows for quick and easy replacement of various accessories would be useful. A system that enables stable and precise sanding would also be beneficial. Disclosure of Invention In one embodiment, a power tool system includes a hand-held power tool and a base plate assembly configured to be mounted on the hand-held power tool. The floor assembly includes a locking member configured to rotate about a first axis. The locking member is configured to rotate about a first axis between a first position in which the accessory clip cannot be locked to the floor assembly and a second position in which the accessory clip can be locked to the floor assembly. The locking member is configured to flex a portion of the accessory clip away from the first axis when the locking member is rotated from the first position to the second position during installation, thereby locking the accessory clip to the floor assembly. In one or more embodiments, the power tool system further includes a base plate of the base plate assembly. In at least some of these embodiments, the base plate assembly is configured to be mounted to a hand-held power tool by attaching the base plate to the hand-held power tool. In some embodiments, the base plate includes a locking aperture. The locking member includes a locking plate and a locking arm extending upwardly from the locking plate and configured to extend into the locking aperture. The locking aperture is configured to receive a locking tab of the accessory clip that is located outside of the locking arm when the locking arm extends into the locking aperture. The locking tab is a portion of the accessory clip where the locking member is configured to bend and the locking member is configured to bend the locking tab with the locking arm. In one or more embodiments of the power tool system, the locking aperture is configured to receive the locking tab without bending the locking tab, including an outwardly extending locking lip of the locking tab. In these embodiments, the locking aperture is configured such that when the locking arm flexes the locking tab, the outwardly extending locking lip extends onto a portion of the base plate. In one or more embodiments of the power tool system, the locking arm includes an outwardly extending latch member configured to contact the angled portion of the locking tab when the locking tab is flexed by the locking arm. The latch member is configured to be positioned at least partially within the inwardly facing groove of the locking tab when the locking member is in the second position and the locking tab is in the outwardly facing position of the locking arm. In one or more embodiments of the power tool system, the locking plate includes a circular center portion configured to mate with a circular center portion of the accessory clamp. In at least some of these embodiments, the locking plate includes an expanded end configured to mate with the expanded end of the accessory clip such that when the locking tab is in the locking aperture in a position outward of the locking arm, the rounded central portion of the locking plate mates with the rounded central portion of the accessory clip and the expanded end of the locking plate mates with the expanded end of the accessory clip, thereby securely orienting the accessory clip with the floor assembly. In one or more embodiments of the power tool system, the base plate includes a first plurality of suction openings, the locking plate includes a second plurality of suction openings, and the first and second plurality of suction openings are configured such that when the accessor
