  • Patent number: 11964356
    Abstract: A hand-held tool, such as a disc grinder, is used to perform work at a high work site, a countermeasure is taken to prevent the hand-held tool from falling by using a suspension tool, such as a tether strap. If a coupling part that couples the suspension tool to the hand-held tool is damaged, this fact is notified to a user. Thereby, an original function of the suspension tool can be reliably performed. If a large impact is applied to a coupling member via a suspension tool, the coupling member is displaced to a second position, due to the deformation of a first position retaining member. A conductive portion disengages from contacts to cause a power circuit to be shut off, thereby prohibiting a main body part from being activated.

  • Patent number: 6179708
    Abstract: In a casing 11, a rear guide 23 is formed above a cylindrical impeller 13 and a stabilizer 24 is formed below the impeller. A minimum gap dimension between the cylindrical impeller 13 and the stabilizer 24 on the outlet port 17 side has a value of 14% to 24% of the outer diameter of the cylindrical impeller 13. An angle between a straight line connecting the center of rotation of the cylindrical impeller 13 and a minimum gap position on the outlet port 17 side of the stabilizer 24 and the horizontal plane has a value of 38° to 43°. A minimum gap dimension between the cylindrical impeller 13 and the stabilizer 24 on the inlet port 16 side has a value of not smaller than 7% of the outer diameter of the cylindrical impeller 13. An angle between a straight line connecting the center of rotation of the cylindrical impeller 13 and a minimum gap position on the inlet port 16 side of the stabilizer 24 and the vertical plane has a value of 11° to 15°.

  • Patent number: 5562952
    Abstract: In a plasma-CVD method and apparatus, plasma is formed from a film material gas in a process chamber and, in the plasma, a film is deposited on a substrate disposed in the process chamber. Formation of the plasma from the material gas is performed by application of an rf-power prepared by effecting an amplitude modulation on a basic rf-power having a frequency in a range from 10 MHz to 200 MHz. A modulation frequency of the amplitude modulation is in a range from 1/1000 to 1/10 of the frequency of the basic rf-power. Alternatively, the rf-power is prepared by effecting on the basic rf-power a first amplitude modulation at a frequency in a range from 1/1000 to 1/10 of the frequency of the basic rf-power, and additionally effecting a second amplitude modulation on the modulated rf-power. A modulation frequency of the second amplitude modulation is in a range from 1/100 to 100 times the modulation frequency of the first amplitude modulation.
