Abstract: A rotary shaft is spline coupled to a carrier of a final-stage planetary gear mechanism. A bearing for supporting the rotary shaft is arranged on an outer circumferential side of the carrier. The bearing and the carrier are arranged so as to overlap in a direction perpendicular to a motor axis.

Abstract: An air compressor improves the dustproof performance of an intake path to a crankcase. The air compressor includes a compression assembly that reciprocates a piston in a cylinder to produce compressed air, a crankcase accommodating the compression assembly and having an inner inlet to allow outside air to be drawn, a filter located in the crankcase and covering the inner inlet from outside, a filter cover having an outer inlet and covering the filter from outside, and a dust cover covering the filter cover from outside, covering the outer inlet, and including an outer circumferential portion. The outer circumference portion and the filter cover have a space to draw outside air between the outer circumference portion and the filter cover.

Abstract: An embedded-object scanner device includes a housing and a sensing device, which is housed in the housing and senses one or more embedded objects embedded in a target material when moved across the target material. One or more illumination devices is provided on the housing for illuminating at least a portion of the surface of the target material.

Abstract: A driving tool comprises a cylinder extending in an up-down direction and a piston that moves downward within the cylinder due to a compressed gas to drive a driving member. The driving tool further comprises a main body housing that houses the cylinder and a grip extending rearward from a rear surface of the main body housing. The driving tool further comprises an upper chamber that is provided above the cylinder and communicates with the cylinder. The driving tool further comprises an air chamber that extends downward from the upper chamber and that extends only in an area on a right or left side of the main body housing with respect to both an axis center of the cylinder and an axis center of the grip.

Abstract: An embedded-object scanner device includes a sensing device housed in a housing and configured to sense one or more embedded objects embedded in a target material, and a display device provided on the housing. The display device is configured to collectively display multiple sets of display data generated in multiple sensing operations performed by the sensing device.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a technique for bringing a center of gravity of a battery-powered power tool closer to a working axis of a tool bit in the battery-powered power tool. The battery-powered power tool performs an operation by movement of a tool bit 119 in an axial direction of the tool bit. The power tool includes a battery 110, a motor 111 that is driven by power supply from the battery 110, a mechanical arrangement 113, 115, 117 that drives the tool bit 119 by rotative power transmitted from the motor 111, and a tool body 103 that houses the motor 111 and the mechanical arrangement 113, 115, 117 and has a front end region in which the tool bit 119 is disposed. A sum of weights of the motor 111 and the battery 110 is smaller than a weight of the mechanical arrangement 113, 115, 117.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved technique for preventing leakage of lubricant from an accommodating space that houses a driving mechanism, while regulating the internal pressure of the accommodating space in a power tool. A representative power tool includes a power tool body, a tool bit, a driving mechanism, a lubricant, an accommodating space, a passage and a lubricant leakage preventing region. The accommodating space is disposed in the body to house the driving mechanism and is hermetically sealed. The passage has an accommodating space side opening and an outside opening. The passage extends, starting from the accommodating space side opening, in a direction away from the outside opening. Then, the passage turns around and extends toward the outside opening. Further, the lubricant leakage preventing region is provided with the passage to prevent the lubricant from leaking from the inside to the outside of the accommodating space.

Abstract: A power-driven hammer drill 1 includes a rotary lever 8 for transmitting and disabling the transmission of the rotation of a motor 5 to a tool bit 4 and a slide lever 9 for transmitting and disabling the transmission of hammer blows to the tool bit 4. The rotary lever 8 is formed with a chamfer 52, whereas the slide lever 9 is formed with a straight portion 54 and a cut-out 53 which conforms to the circular edge of the rotary lever 8. When the slide lever 9 is in the lowermost position with the rotary lever 8 fitted in the cut-out 53, the rotary lever 8 is in the position to disconnect the rotation of the motor 5 to the tool bit 4, and while in this position, the slide lever 9 cannot be slid to its uppermost position, in which hammer blows cannot be transmitted to the tool bit 4.
