Things that stuck out to me:
Pins on the fence in the sample
Swivel dust port attachment similar to the track saws
Language in the patent:
"The milling device is in particular a (hand-held) CNC machine and can also be referred to as a (hand-held) CNC milling device."
If it remains in current Domino form, it seems that the best you can do for the actual mechanism for securing is Figure 12, given the way the machine actually works. I don't see enough movement within the wiggle mechanism to rotate through a 180-degree curve to cut the keyway that Figures 10 and 11 suggest.
That said, the rest of the patent describes a microprocessor and controller to program in movement to create keyways, which is what the box shape is all about.
"The milling device 10 includes the electronic control unit 37, which includes, for example, a microprocessor, in particular a microcontroller, and is preferably designed as a microcontroller. The control unit 37 is designed to control the electrical positioning device 26 according to movement information, so that the electrical positioning device 26 moves the milling tool 17 into a movement sequence defined by the movement information along the at least two positioning degrees of freedom 31, 32, 33, while the milling tool 17 carries out a rotary removal movement in order to produce the depression 1 with a predetermined depression geometry. The term “recess geometry” means the geometry of the recess 1 to be produced, i.e. in particular the dimensions and/or shape of the recess to be produced, preferably in each of the positioning degrees of freedom 31, 32, 33. Preferably, the milling tool 17 carries out the rotary removal movement during at least part of the movement sequence, optionally during the entire movement sequence. In particular, the milling tool 17 carries out the rotary removal movement (in the movement sequence) at least during a movement along the first positioning degree of freedom 31 and/or during a movement along the second positioning degree of freedom 32 and/or during a movement along the third positioning degree of freedom 33 through.
...
The movement information is, for example, stored in the electronic control unit 37, for example as a file, and/or is received by the electronic control unit 37 and/or is generated by the electronic control unit 37. For example, the movement information defines a plurality of successive target positions of the milling tool 17, in particular in relation to the at least two positioning degrees of freedom 31, 32, 33. Preferably, the movement information for the milling tool defines a feed speed, feed direction and / or milling cutter speed, in particular for every movement of the milling tool between two successive target positions.
The movement information preferably defines the movement sequence along the three positioning degrees of freedom 31, 32, 33 and the movement sequence indicates the recess Geometry in relation to the three positioning degrees of freedom. For example, the movement information defines a plurality of successive target positions of the milling tool 17, in particular in relation to the three positioning degrees of freedom 31, 32, 33."
So it appears to be a number of things.
With the DF500 patent expiring soon, we've been wondering how TTS would stay ahead of the competition that is sure to come out with their own versions of the domino. This is certainly one way.
