Patent number: 8747191Abstract: In an endless belt type grinding tool, a tension bar includes a front portion and a rear portion which are divided from each other in a tubular holding portion. The front portion and the rear portion forcibly abut against each other when the endless grinding belt wound around the drive pulley and the idle pulley is applied with a tension by the spring. The endless belt type grinding tool includes a locking member which, when the tension bar is pushed into the tubular holding portion against the spring, engages with the rear portion of the tension bar to retain the rear portion at the pushed position against the urging force of the spring. Thus, in a state in which the grinding belt is removed, it is possible to reduce damage even if the tension bar, which is being pushed in, accidentally jumps out.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2008Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Nitto Kohki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Katsunobu Kishi, Kuniaki Shibuya, Yasumasa Suzuki

Patent number: 8353361Abstract: A pneumatic tool which can be easily assembled. This pneumatic tool includes a tool housing and an air supply pipe. The tool housing includes a motor housing having a tubular wall, and a tubular air supply/exhaust portion connected to the side surface of the tubular wall and extending rearwardly of the pneumatic tool. The air supply pipe has a valve unit, and is inserted into and set in the air supply/exhaust portion. The air supply/exhaust portion has an air supply passage extending from the motor housing. When the air supply pipe is inserted into and fixed to the air supply/exhaust portion, the forward end portion of the air supply pipe is communicated with a rear end opening of the air supply passage of the air supply/exhaust portion, whereby a compressed air supply passage to an air motor is formed.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2008Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Nitto Kohki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasumasa Suzuki, Katsunobu Kishi, Kuniaki Shibuya

Publication number: 20110009038Abstract: In an endless belt type grinding tool, a tension bar 18 includes a front portion 18-3 and a rear portion 18-4 which are divided from each other in a tubular holding portion 16. The front portion 18-3 and the rear portion 18-4 forcibly abut against each other when the endless grinding belt wound around the drive pulley and the idle pulley is applied with a tension by the spring. The endless belt type grinding tool includes a locking member 26 which, when the tension bar is pushed into the tubular holding portion 16 against the spring 24, engages with the rear portion 18-4 of the tension bar 18 to retain the rear portion 18-4 at the pushed position against the urging force of the spring 24. Thus, in a state in which the grinding belt is removed, it is possible to reduce damage even if the tension bar, which is being pushed in, accidentally jumps out.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2008Publication date: January 13, 2011Inventors: Katsunobu Kishi, Kuniaki Shibuya, Yasumasa Suzuki

Patent number: 7677325Abstract: The invention of this application provides a pneumatic tool with a simple structure. The tool has a tubular housing, a stationary shaft, a first piston slidable along the stationary shaft, a second piston, a tool attachment member drivingly connected to the second piston, a compressed air supply path extending through the stationary shaft to supply compressed air between the first and second pistons, and an air discharge path for discharging the compressed air supplied between the first and second pistons to the outside of the housing when the first and second pistons are separated by a predetermined distance. The compressed air supply path has an axial portion in the stationary shaft and a radial portion, a compressed air inlet recess in the inner wall surface of a shaft sliding hole, and a supply outlet extending forward from the forward end of the compressed air inlet recess and communicating with a portion between the first and second pistons.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2006Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Nitto Kohki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kuniaki Shibuya, Munenori Yamaguchi, Yasumasa Suzuki, Takashi Nakajoh

Patent number: 5259369Abstract: A remedial device for hand insufficiency includes a device body having an obverse surface and a reverse surface, a compressed air supply source and an air supply-discharge hose interconnecting the device body and the compressed air supply source. Each of the obverse and reverse surfaces of the device body is provided thereon with a plurality of air sacks inflated and shrunken by the action of compressed air supplied and discharged for expanding and elongating the fingers and for elongating the wrist and arm joint. The air supply-discharge hose constitutes an air supply-discharge circuit provided with two branched circuits for compressed air which are disposed independently on an air supply-discharge side for the air sacks for elongating and expanding the fingers and on an air supply-discharge side for the air sacks for elongating the wrist and arm joint.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1991Date of Patent: November 9, 1993Assignee: Nitto Kohki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mitsuma Matsumura, Kuniaki Shibuya
