  • Patent number: 9827641
    Abstract: A low pressure shut off for a pneumatic tool. The tool may include an air path for input air. A shaft may be positioned along the air path and movable relative to the air path between a first position and a second position. First and second pistons may be spaced axially apart along the shaft and each may extend radially outward beyond the shaft. In the first position, the first piston may extend across the air path to block the air path. In the second position, the second piston may be positioned to be acted on by air from a secondary inlet to apply a force to the second piston that overcomes a biasing force and positions the first piston to allow air to flow along the air path.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8469640
    Abstract: This machine includes a casing (2), a tool-holder spindle (4), a motor (6), a drive mechanism (12) having positive feed which mechanically connects the motor to the spindle and which includes a first drive member (32) for rotating the spindle, a second drive member (34) for driving the spindle in translation and which is screwed onto the spindle (4) in order to advance or return the spindle, and a clutch (36) having a return configuration which disengages the second member and the motor and an advance configuration which engages them. The clutch includes a rotary engagement member (44), a first key (48) which is movable between a position for connecting the rotary member to the motor and a position for disengaging the rotary member, and a second key (50) which is movable between a position for connecting the rotary member to the casing and a position for disengaging the rotary member.
