Abstract:
A rotor has reduced weight. A hammer drill includes a motor including a stator and a rotor rotatable relative to the stator. The rotor includes a rotor core having a first space, and a permanent magnet fixed on the rotor core.
Abstract:
A power tool, such as a rotary hammer or hammer drill, includes a first housing that contains a motor and a drive mechanism for linearly reciprocally driving a tool accessory, and a second housing that includes a handle, a first portion and a second portion. At least one elastic element connects the first and second housings such that the handle is biased away from the first housing. A first set of sliding contact surfaces is defined on or connected to the first housing and the first portion of the second housing. A second set of sliding contact surfaces is defined on or connected to the first housing and the second portion of the second housing. The first and second sets of sliding contact surfaces are located on opposite sides of the motor such that the rotational axis of the motor intersects the first and second sets of sliding contact surfaces.
Abstract:
A hammer drill comprises a motor including an output shaft, a shaft assembly rotationally engaged therewith, a hollow spindle, and a hammer mechanism comprising a piston arranged for reciprocating motion within the spindle. The shaft assembly comprises a first part carrying a first gear engaged with a gear on the spindle to cause spindle rotation, a second part carrying a crank member to cause piston reciprocation, and a connecting part configured to rotationally interconnect, or disconnect, the first and second parts. In a first position of the connecting part only one of the first and second parts is rotationally engaged with the output shaft to enable rotation of only one of the first gear and the crank member respectively, while in a second position both the first and second parts are rotationally engaged with the output shaft to enable rotation of both the first gear and the crank member.
Abstract:
The invention provides a reciprocating electric tool (1) having a brushless motor (3), a plunger (52), and control means (6). The plunger (52) is driven by the brushless motor and reciprocating between two dead centers. A end bit (7) is mounted to one end of the plunger in a reciprocating direction. The control means (6) controls a rotational speed of the brushless motor based on a position of the plunger.
Abstract:
A tool assembly is disclosed that provides reciprocating motion to a tip of the assembly. The tool assembly has a drive assembly, a shaft assembly and a retraction mechanism contained within a housing. The tip of the shaft assembly protrudes from the housing during a portion of the stroke of the drive mechanism and upon disengagement of a motor of the drive assembly, the tip of the shaft assembly is recessed within the housing of the tool assembly.
Abstract:
A drive mechanism for a power tool, a power tool and a reciprocating saw. The power tool includes a housing, a motor supported by the housing and including a drive shaft, an output member supported by the housing and adapted to support a tool element, and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a drive assembly driven by the drive shaft for rotation about an axis, the drive assembly including a gear, a hub selectively driven by the gear for rotation about the axis, and structure positioned between the gear and the hub, the structure selectively transmitting drive force between the gear and the hub and selectively allows relative movement between the gear and the hub. The drive mechanism may also include a drive arm drivingly connected between the drive assembly and the output member of a tool, and the drive arm may be configured to absorb an impact.
Abstract:
A power operated tool includes a prime mover, an output member and a power transmission mechanism arranged to transmit rotary motion of the prime mover to a reciprocatory output member. The power transmission mechanism includes a first member mounted for reciprocating motion, a link coupled at one end to the first member, and a second member mounted for rotation about an axis transverse to the path of reciprocating motion of the first member. The arrangement is such that rotation of the second member reciprocates the first member and also imparts a cyclic partial rotation to the first member during said reciprocation. The second member has a bore therein spaced from the axis of rotation and inclined there towards. The bore has an axis which intersects the axis of rotation at an angle of about one quarter of the angle through which the first member partially rotates.
Abstract:
A TOOL DRIVE ASSEMBLY FOR CONVERTING ROTARY MOTION TO RECIPROCATING MOTION. A DRIVEN MEMBER IS ROTATABLY SUPPORTED IN A HOUSING AND INCLUDES A SHANK PORTION AND AN ENLARGED HEAD PORTION WITH A CENTER OF MASS OFFSET FROM THE AXIS OF ROTATION. AN INTERMEDIATE MEMBER HAS A CYLINDRICAL PORTION INTEGRAL THEREWITH AND DISPOSED IN A HOLLOW IN THE HEAD PORTION. A PEG EXTENDS UPWARDLY FROM THE INTERMEDIATE MEMBER AND FORMS A PART OF A CONNECTION MEANS WHICH IS CONNECTED TO A RECIPROCATING TOOL HOLDER MEMBER. THE INTERMEDIATE MEMBER AND THE CONNECTION MEANS HAVE COUNTERBALANCING MASSES WHICH, IN COMBINATION WITH ONE ANOTHER, COUNTERBALANCE THE OFFSET MASS OF THE HEAD PORTION DURING ALL ADJUSTED ROTARY POSITIONS OF THE INTERMEDIATE MEMBER RELATIVE TO THE DRIVEN MEMBER, WHICH IN TURN ADJUSTS THE LENGTH OF THE STROKE OF THE TOOL HOLDER MEMBER. A TOOL HOLDER ASSEMBLY INCLUDES A TUBULAR MEMBER EXTENDING FROM THE HOUSING WITH A DUST COVER ATTACHED TO THE TOOL HOLDER MEMBER AND SLIDABLY AND RECIPROCALLY DISPOSED ABOUT THE EXTERIOR OF THE TUBULAR MEMBER. A DRIVE MEANS INTERCONNECTS THE TOOL HOLDER MEMBER AND THE CONNECTION MEANS FOR TRANSMITTING THE RECIPROCATING MOTION. A KNURLED MEMBER IS DISPOSED ABOUT THE TUBULAR MEMBER ADJACENT THE HOUSING AND IS CONNECTED TO THE DUST COVER BY A SHAFT SLIDABLY DISPOSED IN THE KNURLED MEMBER FOR ROTATABLY ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE TOOL HOLDER MEMBER.
Abstract:
A PORTABLE ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN HAMMER FOR RIVETING AND OTHER USES. QUICK-RETURN RECIPROCAL MOTION IS IMPARTED TO A SPRING-BIASED PISTON BY MEANS OF A CONNECTING ROD AND ATTACHED CRANKPIN WHICH SLIDABLY ENGAGES AN ARCUATE SLOT IN A ROTATING GEAR. THE QUICK-RETURN MOTION OF THE PISTON IS UTILIZED TO EFFECT REPEATING, SHARP HAMMER BLOWS.
