20080283264 | Impact tool - It is an object of the invention to provide a technique that contributes to rationalization of a mechanism relating to reduction of vibration in an impact tool. Representative impact tool includes a tool body, a hammer actuating member, a dynamic vibration reducer and a positioning elastic element. The positioning elastic element contacts the hammer actuating member and thereby positions the tool body with respect to the workpiece so as to absorb a reaction force caused by rebound from the workpiece and acts on the hammer actuating member when the hammer actuating member performs the hammering operation on the workpiece. The positioning elastic element includes the elastic element formed as a component part of the dynamic vibration reducer. | 11-20-2008 |
20080283265 | Impact tool - It is an object of the invention to provide an effective technique for further enhancing the effect of reducing a reaction force inputted during hammering operation. Representative impact tool comprises a tool body, a hammer actuating member, a cylinder and a compression coil spring. The compression coil spring contacts the hammer actuating member and thereby positions the tool body with respect to the workpiece when the hammer actuating member is pressed against the workpiece and pushed rearward in advance of the hammering operation. In such position, the compression coil spring absorbs a reaction force that is caused by rebound from the workpiece and acts upon the hammer actuating member when the hammer actuating member performs the hammering operation on the workpiece. The cylinder is inserted into the tool body from the front along the axial direction of the hammer actuating member and thereby housed within a predetermined housing part of the tool body. The compression coil spring applies a biasing force to the cylinder in a rearward direction and thereby holds the cylinder in the housing part. | 11-20-2008 |

When a tool bit is not pressed against a workpiece, the power transmitting mechanism is held in a power transmission interrupted state, and when the tool bit is pressed against the workpiece, the power transmitting mechanism is held in a power transmission state in which the tool bit moves together with the driven-side member in an axial direction of the tool bit so that the driving-side member receives the torque from the driven-side member and the tool bit is driven. Tapered portions are provided between the driving-side member and the driven-side member and inclined with respect to the axial direction of the tool bit. When the driven-side member moves in the axial direction of the tool bit, frictional force is caused on the tapered portions and the torque of the driving-side member is transmitted to the driven-side member by the frictional force. | 06-28-2012 |

The intervening member is configured as a planetary member and at least caused to rotate by frictional force acting on its contact surface in contact with the driving-side member when the driving-side member is rotationally driven, so that torque of the driving-side member is transmitted to the driven-side member at reduced speed. | 06-28-2012 |
20120227527 | IMPACT ABSORBING MECHANISM OF GEAR TRAIN - An impact absorbing mechanism for absorbing impact generated upon meshing of gears by starting or stopping an electric motor, for example, in a speed reduction gear train of a disk grinder, has the problem that its ease of manufacture and the durability are lowered because small elastic components are located between a driven gear and a driven shaft when an impact absorbing action occurs in the rotational direction in the related art. The present invention is aimed to improve the ease of manufacture and the durability of the impact absorbing mechanism. It is configured to absorb impact by displacing steel balls in a diameter expanding direction by relative rotation of a driven gear and a driven shaft due to rotational power generated upon meshing and by displacing an axial displacement member in an axial direction against an axial elastic member. | 09-13-2012 |
