Abstract: A rechargeable battery type electric power tool is widely used for a construction work or a horticultural work. A battery of the electric power tool can also be used as a power source of an electric apparatus. Because of this construction, there is provided the electric apparatus that has a function equivalent to that of an AC power source type apparatus.

Abstract: A nozzle pipe is to be coupled to a distal open end of an air blow-off tube of a blower apparatus for regulating the profile of an airflow blown out from the blow-off tube. The nozzle pipe comprises an outer tubular member and an inner tubular member coaxially disposed within the outer tubular member. The inner tubular member has a circumferential wall formed with apertures allowing air passage therethrough. The outer tubular member and the inner tubular member provides a first space therebetween to form a first air passage, while the inner tubular member provides a second space therein to form a second air passage. A plurality of rectifier fins are disposed inward from the outer tubular member, standing radially and extending longitudinally, and spaced apart circumferentially from each other. The fins extend inclined at an angle with reference to the longitudinal central axis of the tubular members.

Abstract: A power tool is provided with a first unit, a second unit rotatable with respect to the first unit, a lock operation member and a lock cooperative switch. The lock operation member is configured to be operated by the user between a lock position and an unlock position, and configured to prevent rotation of the first and second units at the lock position and allow the rotation between the first and second units at the unlock position. The lock cooperative switch is disposed on the supply circuit of energy to the prime mover, and configured to enable the supply circuit when the lock operation member is at the lock position and cutoff the supply circuit when the lock operation member is at the unlock position.
