  • Patent number: 6662455
    Abstract: Two different eccentric shaft portions are formed on a secondary shaft. A contact plate has two different contact portions which are selectively brought into contact with two eccentric shaft portions of the secondary shaft. The contact plate is attached to a guide sleeve. A plunger is slidably coupled in the guide sleeve. A saw blade, attached to a front end of the plunger, causes an orbital motion according to a phase difference between two eccentric shaft portions regardless of attached direction (i.e., normal or upside-down) of the saw blade.

  • Patent number: 6282797
    Abstract: A saber saw includes a housing. A motor is contained in the housing. A second shaft is rotatably connected to the housing, and is rotated by the motor. A plunger connected to the housing is used for holding a saw blade. The plunger is free to reciprocate. A motion converting mechanism provided between the second shaft and the plunger operates for converting rotation of the second shaft into reciprocation of the plunger. A guide member is connected to the housing, and has a track surface. The plunger is moved along the track surface of the guide member during reciprocation of the plunger.

  • Patent number: 6276065
    Abstract: A blade is inserted into a slit which extends in an axial direction of a plunger. A bore extends in a direction normal to the axial direction of the plunger and merges with the slit. A locking pin is slidably disposed in the bore. A blade holder is coupled around the plunger and slidable in the axial direction of the plunger. The blade holder shifts in an axially forward direction to generate a pushing force applied to the locking pin. The locking pin engages with a hole of the blade. Furthermore, the blade holder shifts in an axially rearward direction to release the pushing force applied to the locking pin. The locking pin disengages from the hole of the blade.

  • Publication number: 20010006017
    Abstract: A saw blade is used on an electric power saw designed to reciprocate the saw blade. The saw blade has a plurality of saw teeth, a first line extending along tips of the saw teeth, a second line that extends straight between one tip of a distal endmost saw tooth and another tip of a proximal endmost saw tooth. The first line is curved toward roots of the saw teeth with respect to the second line. The second line ranges from 100 to 400 mm in length. One of tips of the saw teeth at a maximum distance from the second line is spaced apart from the second line by a distance of not more than 12 mm.

  • Patent number: 5194774
    Abstract: An electric-powered tool comprises: a housing; and a brush motor contained in the housing, having: brush holders, each of brush holders holding a carbon brush; and brush terminals, made of an electrical conductive and elastic material having at least one blade portion, a palm portion, and an arm portion, for providing electrical connection thereof to the brushes through the brush holder by catching and griping the brush holder by the blade and the palm portions, the arm portion extending from the palm portion to an end where a fixing portion is provided, each of the brush terminals being fixed by the fixing portion with a positional offset to develop a contact pressure between the palm portion and the brush holder. Further, the arm portion is further extending over the fixing portion to form a connecting portion. On the other hand, one end of a field coil is connected to a connector. Thus, the brush holder is connected to the field coil through the connection portion and the connector.

  • Patent number: 5121545
    Abstract: An electric circular saw of the type including a mechanism for tilting a base relative to the plane of a blade is provided wherein a side knob for being gripped by the user during cutting operation pivotally connects the base and a body of the circular saw through a base attachment portion and a bevel plate having an arcuate guide groove extending through an angular distance corresponding to a tilt angle of the base relative to the blade. The side knob is threaded to the base attachment portion and movable together with the base when the base is tilted. The side knob is spaced from a guide surface of the base by a distance at least larger than a maximum radius of the side knob. The distance between the base and the side knob is constant regardless of the relative angular position of said base and the blade, so that circular saw can be held stably and hence is capable of performing an accurate cutting operation.
