  • Impulse tool having shut off system
    Patent number: 4604943
    Abstract: An impulse tool has an air motor connected to rotate a housing that carries a spindle adapted to be connected to a tool. The housing and cavity provide a pulsating force for rotating the spindle and tool to a pre-selected torque limit. When the limit is reached a rod in the housing is moved rearwardly to contact an "L" shaped arm. The "L" shaped arm is moved to release a valve assembly that operates to close off the air supply to the air motor and thereby turn off the tool.

  • Controlled torque air motor
    Patent number: 4183265
    Abstract: A power operated wrench having a clutch means disposed to effect relative rotation between the drive means and the output spindle. The clutch means cooperates with the gear reduction system to allow the drive means to continue rotating thereby allowing repeated application of the maximum torque output of the drive means. The clutch means further effects a reduction of the system inertia which must be absorbed by a fastener after high speed run down and thereby prevents overtorque.
