  • Vibration generating device having a weight caulked to a shaft
    Patent number: 6600246
    Abstract: A vibration-generating device having a weight that is formed semicircular in section and has a recess near an insertion hole of a shaft. The weight, after being inserted onto the shaft, is supported in an inclined position by a support member. A pressing member applies a pressure to the recess. Preferably, the pressure is offset from the rotational axis of the shaft.

  • Vibration generating device, and method for mounting weight to the same
    Patent number: 6288459
    Abstract: A vibration generating device having a weight which is formed semicircular in section and provided with a recess in the vicinity of an insertion hole of a shaft. The weight, after insertion on the shaft, is supported in an inclined position on a support block. Then, a tapered pressing member is moved downwardly to apply the pressure to the recess. In this case, the direction of pressure application of the pressing member is deviated from the axis of the shaft.
