  • Publication number: 20110308096
    Abstract: A chain saw includes a housing, a sprocket wheel which is provided in the housing for driving a saw chain, and a chain guide for guiding the movement of the saw chain. The chain guide extends out longitudinally from the housing and is movable longitudinally relative to the housing. The chain saw includes a chain tensioning device. The chain tensioning device comprises a driven member arranged on the chain guide and a driving member which drives the driven member to move the chain guide longitudinally and a rotating device rotating the driving member. A stepless clutch device is arranged between the rotating device and the driving member. The chain tensioning device presses the chain guide while it tensioning the saw chain. Thus it prevents effectively the chain guide from loosing after the saw chain is tensioned. The operation of the chain tensioning device is labour-saving. The chain tensioning device has a stable structure and it is hard to be worn.

  • Publication number: 20110154921
    Abstract: A reciprocating cutting tool including a motor housing, a gear box connected with the motor housing, a motor disposed in the motor housing and a reciprocating mechanism disposed in the gear box. The reciprocating mechanism includes a suspending rack and a reciprocating shaft driven by the motor. The reciprocating shaft is connected to the motor by a reduction gear and an eccentric shaft. The suspending rack comprises a top plate and a bottom plate, the reciprocating shaft movably connected to the bottom plate, and would not reciprocate beyond the top plate in a reciprocating direction. Due to the reciprocating shaft not being guided and restricted by the top plate of the suspending rack, the reciprocating shaft would not extend beyond the top plate during the reciprocating motion, The present invention decreases the height of the gear box greatly relative to prior tools, and thus the height of the reciprocating cutting tool is likewise decreased, thereby increasing its application ability.

  • Patent number: 7900715
    Abstract: The present invention has disclosed a variable speed tool and a variable speed control method. The tool includes a switch; a gearbox housing; a motor; an outputting shaft; a multistage transmitting gear train and a gearshift ring which are mated with the motor and the outputting shaft, the gearshift ring having inner teeth; a gearshift fork mated with the gearshift ring; a tension spring arranged between the gearbox housing and the gearshift fork; and a torque sensing ring provided with a sliding groove in which the gearshift fork is movably disposed. When the load of the outputting shaft has reached to a predetermined value, the torque sensing ring makes the gearshift fork move axially in the sliding groove under the action of the tension spring, thus bringing the gearshift ring to move axially. The variable speed tool of the present invention may automatically adjust the rotating speed and the torque of the outputting shaft according to a variation of the load torque.

  • Patent number: 7874077
    Abstract: The device (12) comprises a laser (14) which is attached to the tool (2). During operation a laser beam (16) is emitted onto an optical lens (20) which is of cylindrical shape. The lens (20) is suspended to swivel freely, e. g. by means of a swivel arm (24) which is operatively connected to the tool (2). Thus, the main axis (28) of the lens (20) is kept vertically by the gravity force when the tool (2) is moved or tilted. The shape of the laser marker (I1 II, III) generated on a workpiece (8) is an indication for the user of the tool (2) concerning an inclination (x, y) of the tool (2).
