Patent number: 11745301Abstract: Provided is a rotary tool. In the rotary tool, the rotating tip tool is mounted on a spindle by the fixture, and the spindle and the tip tool are rotated by a motor. The rotary tool has a switch which can switch the motor between a rotation state and a stop state, and a control device which controls the rotation of the motor corresponding to the operation of the switch. When the switch is turned off after a required time T elapses after the motor is started, the control device stops the rotary tool (104d, 106d) by performing a common braking operation on the spindle, and when the switch is turned off before the required time T elapses after the motor is started, the control device stops the tip tool (101d) by inertia without applying a braking force.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Koki Holdings Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hironori Sakai, Takuya Yoshinari, Hironori Mashiko

Publication number: 20230173650Abstract: A work machine is configured so that multiple groups are prepared in advance as drive modes and so that it is possible to switch between these groups. The work machine having multiple drive modes is configured so that multiple sets (first to third groups) of drive modes are provided and so that it is possible to switch between the first to third groups, whereby it is possible to provide a variety of drive modes to an operator. The operation for switching between the first to third groups includes both a normal operation and a long-press operation of a first switch for changing drive modes in the work machine. This makes it possible for an operator to switch from a standard drive mode group (first group) set as a factory default to a desired drive mode group (second or third group).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2021Publication date: June 8, 2023Applicant: Koki Holdings Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shunya SHINTO, Hironori MASHIKO

Patent number: 9950417Abstract: An electronic pulse driver includes a motor, a hammer, an anvil, an end tool mounting unit, a power supply unit, and a control unit. The hammer is rotatable together with the anvil. The end tool mounting unit transmits the rotation of the anvil to an end tool. The power supply unit supplies a drive electric power to the motor. The control unit controls the power supply unit to halt a supply of the drive electric power to the motor when an electric current flowing to the motor increases to a prescribed value. The control unit controls the power supply unit to supply to the motor a prestart electric power lower than the drive electric power before supplying the drive electric power in order to permit the power supply unit to supply the drive electric power after the hammer is in contact with the anvil.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2011Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yutaka Ito, Katsuhiro Oomori, Mizuho Nakamura, Tomomasa Nishikawa, Hironori Mashiko
