Abstract: Pneumatic or pressurized fluid tool, such as a screwdriver, having a control device. The control device includes a pivotally mounted trigger which causes rotation of the motor in a first rotational direction when pivoted in a first direction and which causes rotation of the motor in an opposite rotational direction when pivoted in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The trigger is connected to a piston which is movable in a cylinder. The piston is connected by a rod to a valve and includes a cam. The cam of the piston, cooperating with a plunger, operates a selector so that when the trigger is pivoted in the first direction, compressed air or pressurized fluid is admitted to rotate the motor in the first direction.

Abstract: A pneumatic tool comprises a motor element including a body in which a pneumatic motor is housed. The body is connected at one end to a compressed air supply hose together with a device for controlling the entry of compressed air into the motor. At the other end is a head provided with a bayonet coupling and a tool-holder having a tubular member guiding a shaft coupled to the motor. The tool-holder is provided at one end with a complementary bayonet coupling and at the other end with an angular part provided with a member adapted to support a tool. This member is coupled by a kinematic coupling to the shaft. The tubular member guiding the shaft is mounted to pivot relative to the shaft on the complementary bayonet coupling. The tubular member can be locked in any appropriate angular position.
