Publication number: 20260226756Abstract: A rebar binding device is configured to be capable of traveling on a plurality of rebars arranged at a first pitch and that is configured to be capable of traveling on a plurality of rebars arranged at a second pitch larger than the first pitch. The device includes: a first wheel that has a width larger than a difference between the second pitch and the first pitch and smaller than a difference between 1.5 times the second pitch and 0.5 times the first pitch; a second wheel that has a width larger than the difference between the second pitch and the first pitch and smaller than the difference between 1.5 times the second pitch and 0.5 times the first pitch; and a driver that is configured to rotate the first wheel and the second wheel.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2024Publication date: August 6, 2026Inventors: Takanari Azami, Kigen Agehara

Publication number: 20260226757Abstract: A reinforcing bar binding device includes a binding mechanism configured to bind a first reinforcing bar and a second reinforcing bar at a binding position where the first and second reinforcing bars intersect with each other, a main body to which the binding mechanism is mounted, a leg configured to travel along the first reinforcing bar in a first direction, a first drive unit configured to move the leg away from the first reinforcing bar, a second drive unit configured to move the leg in a second direction intersecting the first direction relative to the main body, and a control unit. The control unit controls the first drive unit to move the leg away from the first reinforcing bar and then controls the second drive unit to move the leg in the second direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2024Publication date: August 6, 2026Inventors: Takanari Azami, Kazuhiko Kishi

Publication number: 20260226754Abstract: A reinforcing bar binding device includes a binding section configured to bind a reinforcing bar, a holding section configured to hold the binding section, and a lifting section configured to move the holding section in a movement direction with respect to a body section of the reinforcing bar binding device. The lifting section includes a connecting section connected to the holding section, and driving section configured to move the connecting section. The connecting section includes an engaging section. The holding section includes an engaged section configured to engage with the engaging section. In a state where the binding section abuts against the reinforcing bar, the driving section is configured to move the connecting section and the engaging section relative to the engaged section to release engagement between the engaging section and the engaged section.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2024Publication date: August 6, 2026Inventors: Takanari Azami, Kazuhiko Kishi

Publication number: 20260216781Abstract: A binding device includes a binding mechanism configured to feed a wire around a reinforcing bar and twist and bind the wire fed around the reinforcing bar, a binding mechanism movement section configured to move the binding mechanism between a binding position for binding the reinforcing bar and a retracted position away from the reinforcing bar, and a wire drawing section configured to draw out the wire wound on a reel. The wire drawing section draws out the wire in a movement direction of the binding mechanism, in conjunction with the movement of the binding mechanism by the binding mechanism movement section. An amount of the wire drawn out by the wire drawing section is greater than a movement amount of the binding mechanism moved by an operation of the binding mechanism movement section.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2024Publication date: July 30, 2026Inventors: Takanari Azami, Kazuhiko Kishi

Publication number: 20260217325Abstract: A robot includes: a main body; a front driver which is provided in front of the main body in a first direction and which is configured to drive the robot in the first direction; and a rear driver which is provided behind the main body in the first direction and which is configured to drive the robot in the first direction. The front driver and the rear driver are configured to be relatively movable along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2024Publication date: July 30, 2026Inventors: Takanari Azami, Kigen Agehara

Patent number: 12103150Abstract: A driving tool includes: a body provided with an outlet where a fastener is driven; an urging member attached to the body; and a plunger movable in a projecting direction toward the outlet by extension of the urging member. An urging force in the projecting direction acts on the body from the urging member when the urging member is extended.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2022Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: Max Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiko Kondo, Tetsuya Ohno, Takashi Suzuki, Takanari Azami

Patent number: 11897107Abstract: A driving tool includes: a plunger movable in a first direction along a direction in which a fastener is launched; an urging member that is extendable and contractible in the first direction and serves as a drive source of the plunger; and guide rails configured to guide movement of the plunger in the first direction. The guide rails extend along the first direction of the urging member and are disposed on both sides sandwiching the urging member, and the guide rails are arranged such that a virtual line connecting the guide rails on the both sides of the urging member is deviated from a central axis of the urging member in a plan view of the urging member as viewed from the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Max Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tetsuya Ohno, Takashi Suzuki, Takanari Azami
