  • Publication number: 20120073848
    Abstract: A battery pack includes cylindrical columnar battery cells arranged at least in two rows and two columns along vertical and horizontal directions orthogonal to center axes of the battery cells. Each of the battery cells includes an electrode terminal formed in one end portion thereof. The battery pack further includes a connector plate to which the electrode terminals of four vertically and horizontally adjoining battery cells are joined. The connector plate is arranged to parallel connect each pair of the battery cells adjoining in the same direction to form battery cell blocks. The connector plate is configured to serially connect the battery cell blocks. The center axes of the battery cells are positioned at vertexes of a parallelogram when the vertically and horizontally adjoining battery cells are seen at one end side thereof. The connector plate has a contour conforming to respective sides of the parallelogram.

  • Patent number: 7875316
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a surface-coated cutting insert that includes an insert body having a substrate of tungsten carbide-based cemented carbide, titanium carbonitride-based cermet or ceramics, a base layer, an intermediate layer and an outermost layer. The base layer and the outermost layer are made of a single layer or two or more layers formed of carbides, nitrides, oxides, or borides of one selected from the group consisting of Group IVa metals, Group Va metals, Group VIa metals, aluminum and silicon, or complex compounds thereof, and the intermediate layer is formed of primarily Al2O3. The outermost layer is removed on part of the insert body surface including the flank face and a flank face-side cutting edge portion of the intersecting edge line region, with the outermost layer being left on part of the rake face inside a boundary with the intersecting edge line region.

  • Patent number: 7479252
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a throwaway tip is presented in which a green compact Q obtained by press-forming raw material powder for the throwaway tip is placed and sintered on a sintering plate 8. The green compact Q is press-formed so that the density of the raw material powder is gradually decreased toward a predetermined direction R, and the direction R is oriented substantially toward the outer circumference of the sintering plate 8 in plan view. Thus, it is possible to obtain a throwaway tip having sintering accuracy.

  • Patent number: 7395873
    Abstract: A power tool includes a grip portion having a vertically extending axis; a main body provided at a top end of the grip portion and having an axis intersecting the vertical axis; a motor; an output portion projecting from the grip portion and rotatingly driven by the motor; a trigger provided for movement along a trigger moving zone; a stopper portion accommodated in the grip portion for protrusion and retraction into and from the trigger moving zone, the stopper portion adapted to selectively make contact with the trigger to thereby limit the maximum pulling amount of the trigger; and a stopper operating portion for operating the stopper portion. The stopper portion is protruded into or retracted from the trigger moving zone by slidingly actuating the stopper operating portion in a crosswise direction perpendicularly intersecting the axis of the main body as viewed from the top.

  • Patent number: 6988563
    Abstract: A hammer drill is equipped with a connector shaft, which is rotationally driven by a motor, a spindle that transmits the rotation through a connector shaft, and a percussive impact impact mechanism that applies a percussive force in the axial direction to a drill bit held by the spindle through performing a reciprocating motion, in the axial direction, relative to a spindle that receives the rotation of the connector shaft through a motion converter mechanism. The hammer drill is provided with a percussive force converter from the percussive impact impact mechanism by changing the speed reduction ratio between the motor and the connector shaft. This makes it possible to adjust the percussive force according to the drill bit used.

  • Patent number: 6234726
    Abstract: An indexable insert having a tip body formed of a polygonal flat plate. An upper surface of the tip body serves as a rake face, and edges are formed along ridges defined by sides of the rake face. Nose portion edges are formed at corners of the rake face at which the edges adjacent to each other intersect. The nose portion edges each have a rake angle varied between both ends of the nose portion edge.
