Abstract: A combustion-type power tool having a cooling arrangement for cooling a cylinder. The tool includes a housing, a cylinder head at one end of the housing, a push lever disposed at another end of the housing, and a combustion chamber frame including a base section and a head section. The head section has a disc like connecting portion extending from an end of the base section and a sleeve like abutment section extending from the connecting portion toward a cylinder head. A fan is disposed in a combustion chamber and is fixed to a rotation shaft of a motor supported to the cylinder head. The fan has fan blades. The fan blades define a widthwise center line in the axial direction of the rotation shaft. The center line is offset from the connecting portion and toward the push lever. The fan blades define widthwise edges in confrontation with the cylinder head. The widthwise edge is positioned in alignment with the connecting portion or offset therefrom toward the cylinder head.

Abstract: A combustion-type power tool includes a cylinder and a combustion chamber frame disposed to surround the cylinder and movable along the cylinder. A partition wall divides an inner space of an outer frame into a first space in which the cylinder and the combustion chamber frame are disposed and a second space in which a gas cartridge cylinder is disposed and has a through-hole through which the first space and the second space are in fluid communication with each other. A plurality of ribs is formed on an outer surface of the cylinder for regulating an exhaust gas flow generated by combustion of a gaseous mixture in the combustion chamber. The ribs enable exhaust gas discharged from the combustion chamber to be directed away from the through-hole, thereby enabling the gas cartridge cylinder to be maintained at a substantially constant temperature.

Abstract: A combustion-type power tool having a cooling arrangement for cooling a gas canister. The tool includes a housing having a gas canister accommodating section in which a gas canister is accommodated. An air passage is defined between the gas canister accommodating section and the gas canister accommodated therein. The gas canister accommodating section is formed with an air inlet port in communication with the air passage for introducing air into the air passage. Since air flows along the gas canister, the gas canister can be cooled. If the tool is provided with a fan, the rotation of the fan causes air suction passing through the air passage.

A cylinder head has a motor holder receiving portion in which the motor holder is slidably movably disposed. A coil spring has one end secured to the motor holder and another end secured to the cylinder head to thereby support the motor holder. Initial acceleration applied to the motor when combustion occurs can be suppressed and impact imparted upon the motor can also be suppressed by friction between the outer periphery of the motor holder and the inner periphery of the motor holder receiving portion. A heat shielding plate is interposed between the lower end surface of the motor and the cylinder head in order to prevent hot air combustion gas from entering into the motor.
