Publication number: 20140318820Abstract: Disclosed are methods and devices utilizing magnetized components to assist operation of an internal mechanism of a tool. Magnetic fields can assist a power tool comprising internal mechanisms that cycle very quickly. Magnetized components can assist in a load/reset action relative to internal components of the power tool. In one example, one or more hammers of a hammer drill/driver can be reset more efficiently when various magnetized elements are oriented in certain ways relative to one another. Additionally, friction between components can be reduced by repulsive magnetic fields between two or more components. Utilizing the magnetic fields can improve the overall function of internal components of the tool. In another example, a tool such as a nailer or stapler can utilize magnetism to assist its internal components. In a nailer or stapler the magnetism can assist, for example, acceleration and deceleration of components utilized to drive the nail/staple.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2014Publication date: October 30, 2014Applicant: Shining Golden Yida Welding & Cutting Machinery Manufacture, Ltd.Inventors: Davey Z.

Patent number: 4433736Abstract: A device for preventing secondary impacts of a mass against a target member, as used in particular for generating shear waves in the earth, is provided. The mass is secured at the end of a pivotable rigid arm actuated by driving device, and the driving device adapted to block the fall of the rigid arms, comprises a cam co-operating with a pawl when it registers therewith and with a flat part of the cam with the registering conditions occurring only after the first impact of the mass and its bounce against the target member.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 1982Date of Patent: February 28, 1984Assignees: Institut Francais du Petrole, Compagnie Generale de GeophysiqueInventors: Pierre-Claude Layotte, Laurent Bozec

Patent number: 4278295Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US79/01087 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 13, 1979 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 13, 1979 PCT Filed Dec. 13, 1979An impactor (10) having a fracturing portion (11) including a crank (12) and a force transferring structure (13). The force transferring structure (13) is hammered as a result of rotation of the crank (12) by a hammer (14) rotatably mounted to the crank for concurrent revolution about the crank axis (16) and rotation about a hammer axis (24). The hammer is rotated in synchronization with the crank to move a contacting portion (20) of the hammer reciprocatively toward and from the force transfer structure (13) with contact between the hammer and force transfer structure being free of rolling movement therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1979Date of Patent: July 14, 1981Assignee: Caterpillar Tractor Co.Inventor: Delwin E. Cobb

Patent number: 4144939Abstract: An apparatus for converting centrifugal energy into percussive energy is operated by a motor continuously rotating a driven shaft whereby a rocking shaft is caused to oscillate about a pivot axis under the influence of the centrifugal force produced by a weight body during rotation of the driven shaft. The rocking shaft has a slot at its pivot axis and a bar extends through the slot and radially beyond opposite sides of the rocking shaft. Upon the rocking shaft oscillating in opposite directions, the opposite ends of the bar are deflected in opposite directions, so that one end of the bar urges a spring biased striker away from an anvil when the shaft rocks clockwise while the other end of the bar acts on the striker in a similar manner when the shaft rocks counter-clockwise.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1977Date of Patent: March 20, 1979Inventor: Fritz E. Knothe

Patent number: 4084645Abstract: A relatively quiet-operating rotary hammer for use in apparatus for securing T-edging and similar edging bands. The hammer includes a pivoted hammer head that is intermittently and continuously impacted to provide a hammering action. The hammer is impacted by a rotary structure carrying spaced hammering elements for forcibly pivoting the hammer head.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1976Date of Patent: April 18, 1978Assignee: Evans Rotork, Inc.Inventor: Saverio Salamone
