Patent number: 9827659Abstract: A driving tool includes a first piston slidably disposed within a cylinder chamber and having an elongated driving part configured to drive a struck material. A second piston is configured to generate compressed air within the combustion chamber. A compressed air supply passage enables communication between the compression chamber and the cylinder chamber. A valve member opens and closes the compressed air supply passage. A relay member mechanically connects an electric motor with the valve member. The valve member opens and closes the compressed air supply passage via the relay member.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2013Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventor: Tadasuke Matsuno

Publication number: 20170335582Abstract: A rebar tying tool configured to tie plural rebars using a wire is disclosed herein. The rebar tying tool may include a reel supporting mechanism configured to switch between a first state of detachably supporting a reel on which the wire is wound and a second state of undetachably supporting the reel; a wire feeding mechanism configured to feed the wire from the reel; and an openable cover that at least partially covers at least one of the reel supporting mechanism and the wire feeding mechanism. The reel supporting mechanism may switch from the first state to the second state by a user operation of closing the cover, and/or may switch from the second state to the first state by a user operation of opening the cover.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2017Publication date: November 23, 2017Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshitaka MACHIDA, Tadasuke MATSUNO

Publication number: 20170218631Abstract: The disclosure herein discloses a rebar tying tool that ties plural rebars using a wire. The rebar tying tool includes a housing and a twisting motor, and may include a twisting mechanism that twists the wire around the plural rebars by the twisting motor. The twisting mechanism may include a screw shaft, a gripping member that grips the wire in cooperation with rotation of the screw shaft, a first reduction mechanism that reduces and transmits rotation of the twisting motor to a relay shaft, and a second reduction mechanism that reduces and transmits rotation of the relay shaft to the screw shaft. The first reduction mechanism may be a coaxial reduction mechanism, and the second reduction mechanism may be a parallel-axis reduction mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2017Publication date: August 3, 2017Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventor: Tadasuke MATSUNO

Patent number: 9469023Abstract: A power tool has a continuously variable transmission, a condition detection device, and an operation control device. The continuously variable transmission changes a velocity of a rotational output from a drive motor and outputs the rotational output to a spindle to which a tip end tool is mounted. The condition detection device detects a condition of the power tool. The operation control device determines a target RPM of the spindle based on the condition of the power tool detected by the condition detection device, and controls an RPM of the drive motor and/or a transmission gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission based on the target RPM.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2012Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Shinji Hirabayashi, Tadasuke Matsuno

Patent number: 9114520Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may include a power tool having a driving motor, a spindle with a front tool and a continuously variable transmission mechanism. The driving motor is configured to output any number of output rotations. The continuously variable transmission mechanism is configured to shift the number of rotations from the driving motor in any ratio and output the shifted rotation to the spindle. The driving motor changes the number of output rotations. The continuously variable transmission mechanism changes the ratio. Both the driving motor and the continuously variable transmission mechanism serve to alter the rotational speed of the spindle.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2012Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Shinji Hirabayashi, Tadasuke Matsuno

Publication number: 20150174748Abstract: A driving tool includes a first cylinder that generates compressed air by reciprocating movement of a first piston slidably disposed therein. A longitudinal direction of the first cylinder intersects a longitudinal direction of a second cylinder and extends alongside a magazine that feeds fasteners onto an axis of movement of a driving part of a second piston. The first piston reciprocally slides in a direction that extends alongside the magazine. A tool handle is disposed on the side of the first cylinder that is opposite from the magazine in the direction of the axis of movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2013Publication date: June 25, 2015Inventors: Takefumi Furuta, Shinji Hirabayashi, Tadasuke Matsuno

Publication number: 20120247799Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may include a power tool having a driving motor, a continuously variable transmission traction drive, a blast fan and an airflow-guiding structure. The continuously variable transmission traction drive changes number of rotations from the driving motor and outputs the changed number of rotations. The driving motor rotates the blast fan. The blast fan cools the driving motor by sending airflow to the driving motor. The airflow-guiding structure guides the airflow to the continuously variable transmission traction drive.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2012Publication date: October 4, 2012Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Shinji HIRABAYASHI, Tadasuke MATSUNO
