The anvil includes a base portion (51), an end bit attachment portion (80, 180), and a connecting portion (90, 190). The base portion is rotatably supported by the housing. An end bit is attachable to the end bit attachment portion. The end bit attachment portion has a flat surface portion. The connecting portion integrally connects together the base portion and the end bit attachment portion. The connecting portion has a diameter gradually reduced in a direction from the base portion toward the end bit attachment portion.

    Abstract: Falling of a substrate and deformation or breakage of the substrate are inhibited. A substrate holder includes a hole portion in which a disk-shaped substrate is placed upright, and at least four supporting members attached elastically-deformably on a periphery of the hole portion. Two of the four supporting members support disk-shaped substrate at first- and second-side circumferential end portions of disk-shaped substrate positioned at vertical-direction upper positions of disk-shaped substrate. Remaining two of the four supporting members support disk-shaped substrate at third- and fourth-side circumferential end portions of disk-shaped substrate positioned at vertical-direction lower positions of disk-shaped substrate. Central angle in disk-shaped substrate between either first- or second-side circumferential end portion and uppermost end portion of disk-shaped substrate is from 15° through 40°.

  • Publication number: 20230311292
    Abstract: The present invention improves the convenience of a work machine. A two-dimensional code 15a and a serial number 15b are marked on a name plate 15. The two-dimensional code 15a is a two-dimensional code indicating unique information such as the serial number of a work machine 1. A communication adapter 30 is connected to a battery pack mounting portion 2c of the work machine 1. The communication adapter 30 has a function of supplying power to the work machine 1 and a function of communicating with the work machine 1 and a PLC 60. A camera 67 reads the two-dimensional code 15a of the work machine 1, and transmits the serial number of the work machine 1 to the PLC 60. The PLC 60 transmits the serial number to the communication adapter 30. The work machine 1 stores the received serial number in its own internal memory.

  • Publication number: 20230202004
    Abstract: An impact tool includes a hammer that is rotated by a motor and energized toward a front side from a spindle by a cam mechanism and a spring, and an anvil that is struck by the hammer. The hammer includes a main body part, and claw parts extending forward from the main body part, and tapered surfaces are formed such that an inner diameter side end of each of the claw parts of the main body part is located on the front side relative to an outer diameter side end of the claw part. The tapered surfaces are formed, on an outer peripheral side of a front facing surface of the hammer, in such a shape that the tapered surfaces recede as separating in a radial direction from a rotation axis.

  • Publication number: 20230147598
    Abstract: In a working device, a cover added outside an enclosure portion is used to utilize vibration of the working device during an operation thereof to cool the enclosure portion. The working device has: a motor; a speed reduction mechanism for decelerating rotation of the motor; a striking mechanism; an enclosure portion (main body housing, hammer case 5) accommodating them; and a cover covering at least a portion of an outer surface of the enclosure portion. An airflow passage is formed between an outer surface of the hammer case and the cover and is configured so as to allow inflow and outflow of outside air. The cover is held so as to be slightly movable by sandwiching an elastic member in an axial line direction and, by the cover being moving forward and backward during its operation, air goes into or comes out of the airflow passage to cool the hammer case.
