Publication number: 20120073849Abstract: A vibratory appliance includes a tool driven to oscillate by a rotary electric motor. A shaft supported, at an intermediate portion by a pivot, is driven by an orbital drive mechanism. The orbital drive mechanism includes a rotor rotated about a rotor axis by the motor, an elongate part, and a coupler. The elongate part and the coupler are each fixed to a respective one of the inner end and the rotor. The elongate part and the coupler are mutually connected for sliding movement relative to one another, between first and second relative positions in which the inner end orbits about the rotor axis at first and second orbital radii, respectively, to vary the amplitude of oscillation of the tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2011Publication date: March 29, 2012Applicant: HAYCO MANUFACTURING LIMITEDInventors: Bengt IVARSSON, Bettina LEINWEBER, Hei Wai CHOI, David DYCHER, Greg SPOONER, Hoss VONG, James MACKINTOSH, Yee Wah LAM, Teruo HISHIKI

Patent number: 8125804Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit minimizing standby power in a power adapter with a power-frequency transformer (T1), which includes a sensing circuitry (1), a driving circuitry (2), a switching circuitry (3) and a resistive element (Z). When the sensing circuitry (1) senses a power supply signal of the power-frequency transformer (T1) in work mode, the switching circuitry (3) shorts the resistive element (Z); and when the power-frequency transformer (T1) is in standby mode, the electronic switch (3) is switched off and the resistive element (Z) is coupled to the power-frequency transformer (T1). The circuit attached to the power adapter reduces the standby power consumption very much, and achieves energy-saving effect with low cost.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2007Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Inventors: Shuguang He, Chun Wah Lam
