  • Patent number: 8667695
    Abstract: The present application provides a work head for a rotational brush cutter. The work head comprises an upper plate, a lower plate and a blade, the upper plate and the lower plate being fixedly coupled. The lower plate is circular and has a passage therethrough with a gear arranged in the passage. The blade has a body portion and a connection portion with the body portion able to be extended outside of the upper and lower plates. The through passage is designed so that the blade can be replaced without requiring the upper plate and lower plate to be disassembled. As a result, because the blade is not restricted by a narrow space between the upper plate and the main frame, the work head does not need to be removed from the brush cutter to replace the blade thereby saving time and effort.

  • Patent number: 8439243
    Abstract: A nailer device includes a housing having a nozzle portion formed in an upper end thereof. A motor and a rotary-linear motion transmission mechanism are arranged in the housing and the rotary-linear transmission mechanism functions to couple an output shaft of the motor to a striking rod disposed in the nozzle portion to thereby move the striking rod in a reciprocating manner. A bias device exerts a force on the striking rod towards the outside of the housing along a longitudinal direction of the striking rod.

  • Publication number: 20130019482
    Abstract: An electric pruner includes a housing, a motor accommodated within the housing, a transmission mechanism, a movable blade, and a fixed blade extending from the front end of the housing. The fixed blade is fixedly mounted on the housing, and the movable blade is rotatably connected to the fixed blade via a shaft and driven by the motor via the transmission mechanism. A locking device manually operable by the user is arranged n the shaft for locking the movable blade, the locking device being switchable between a first position where the movable blade is locked to stay connected with the transmission mechanism and a second position where the movable blade is releasable from the transmission mechanism. Thus, the replacement of the movable blade is very simple and convenient.

  • Patent number: 8348119
    Abstract: A nailer device has a housing containing a motor, a gear box, a transmission mechanism, and a striking rod. The motor, the gear box, and the transmission mechanism cooperate to cause the striking rod to be moved back and forth. The striking rod has a peripheral outer surface and a longitudinal axis and the striking rod and the gear box are connected through a sliding connection structure which allows the striking rod to be moved along its longitudinal axis and which prevents the striking rod from rotating around its longitudinal axis.

  • Publication number: 20120017447
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool for pruning and cutting vegetation and a method for replacing blades thereof. The hand-held power tool has a main body and a work head detachably mounted on the main body. The main body has a housing, a motor placed in the housing, and a first gear transmissively connected with the motor. The work head has a blade assembly and a second gear. The second gear engages with the first gear and is provided with a eccentric member connected with the blade assembly. By arranging one portion of the transmission mechanism on the work head, especially the second gear used for providing the eccentrically rotary output on the work head, the transmission mechanism is directly connected with the blade assembly. When the work head needs to be mounted on the main body, it only needs the second gear to be placed on the mandrel arranged on the main body where it will engage with the first gear.
