  • Portable working machine
    Patent number: 9644618
    Abstract: A working machine has an oil groove communicating a pump chamber with a gear chamber, and a small amount of oil is delivered to the gear chamber when oil is discharged from the pump chamber. Thus, the oil adheres to the outer peripheral surface of a rotating pump shaft and is kept remaining between a pump case and the pump shaft. Therefore, the viscosity is increased and a pressure loss between the pump chamber and the gear chamber is increased. Accordingly, the airtightness can be maintained, and the stable and inexpensive oil pump mechanism requiring less man-hour can be realized without depending on the accuracy of a gap between the pump case and the pump shaft. Since oil is kept remaining on the outer peripheral surface of the pump shaft, it is possible to prevent the pump case from being worn out and to improve the durability of components.

  • ELECTRIC TOOL
    Publication number: 20170036327
    Abstract: Provided is an impact type electric tool. A striking mechanism is used, which uses a hammer having striking claws that are equally arranged in the rotational direction and an anvil having struck claws. A relationship between a striking energy E, which the hammer has right before striking the anvil, and a disengaging torque TB, which is applied between the hammer and the anvil right before the hammer is disengaged from the anvil, is set as 5.3×TB<E<9.3×TB in the case of three claws and set as 9.3×TB<E<15.0×TB in the case of two claws, so as to perform striking by skipping one of the claws of the hammer and the anvil when a high torque is required. Accordingly, the electric tool achieves output of a high torque while maintaining a favorable operational feeling during striking.
