Patent number: 11953342Abstract: A laser marking system in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a laser marker, a beam receiving device, and a notifier. The laser marker includes a laser beam emitter. The beam receiving device includes a beam receiver and a transmitter. The beam receiver receives a laser beam emitted by the laser beam emitter. The transmitter transmits a first positional signal. The first positional signal indicates a receiving position of the laser beam in the beam receiver. The notifier notifies of the receiving position of the laser beam based on the first positional signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Manami Honoki, Yoichiro Koike, Masafumi Noda

Publication number: 20220003545Abstract: A laser marker in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a support body, a rotation body, a motor, a laser beam emitter, a device communicator, and a motor control circuit. The device communicator performs a wireless communication with a portable terminal device and with a beam receiving device. The portable terminal device transmits a rotation start command signal. The beam receiving device generates and transmits a bean receiving position signal. The motor control circuit starts controlling a rotation of the motor based on the beam receiving position signal in response to the device communicator receiving or having received the rotation start command signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2021Publication date: January 6, 2022Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Manami HONOKI, Yoichiro KOIKE, Masafumi NODA

Publication number: 20220003549Abstract: A laser marker according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a laser emitter; an information reception circuit; a measuring circuit; and a disabling circuit. The measuring circuit starts to measure an elapsed time in response to the information reception circuit receiving an enabled time. The disabling circuit disables the laser marker for operating in response to a length of the elapsed time reaching or having reached a length of the enabled time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2021Publication date: January 6, 2022Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Manami HONOKI, Yoichiro KOIKE, Masafumi NODA

Patent number: 8511528Abstract: A technique for improving the cooling performance of a combustion chamber in a combustion power tool is provided. The combustion power tool includes first and second combustion chambers, a partition that separates the first combustion chamber from the second combustion chamber, openings, formed in the partition and communicate the first combustion chamber with the second combustion chamber, and a drive section that moves toward a front end by combustion pressure. The combustion pressure is generated when a flow of flammable gas, which is produced by combustion of the flammable gas in the first combustion chamber propagates to the second combustion chamber through the openings, and burns flammable gas in the second combustion chamber. The combustion gas flows from the first combustion chamber to the second combustion chamber in a direction around a central axis of the second combustion chamber while flowing along an inner wall of the second combustion chamber.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Makita CorporationInventors: Norio Oiwa, Yoichiro Koike, Makoto Takahashi, Kenichi Miyata

Publication number: 20100040474Abstract: A fixing device for fixing a rotary blade to a spindle in a bench circular saw, for example, has a structure in which it is difficult to achieve structural compactification in radial size. Therefore, there has been a problem of sacrificing an inclination angle and a cutting depth of the rotary blade. Provided is a fixing device free from such problems owing to employment of a structure which can be easily compactified in a radial direction. Cam portions are provided on respective surfaces opposite to each other of an intermediate flange and an outer flange so as to mesh with each other. The cam portions slide with each other with a rotational force imparted to the rotary blade so that the rotational force is converted into a displacement in a direction of an axis of the intermediate flange and is applied in a direction of clamping the rotary blade.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2007Publication date: February 18, 2010Applicant: Makita CorporationInventors: Yuji Takahashi, Yoichiro Koike
