  • Publication number: 20190314971
    Abstract: An impact tool includes a tubular tool holder, a hammering mechanism, a resistor, and a biasing member. An impact element moves forward and rearward in conjunction with a piston. An intermediate element is housed movable back and forth between the impact element and a tip tool. The intermediate element abuts on a rear end of the tip tool to indirectly transmit a striking force from the impact element to the tip tool in a normal striking. The resistor is configured to abut on at least one of the intermediate element and the tip tool to apply a resistance to a front-rear movement of at least one of the intermediate element and the tip tool in a non-striking state. The biasing member disposed on the tool holder biases the resistor to a side of at least one of the intermediate element and the tip tool.

  • Publication number: 20190291226
    Abstract: A dust collector for electric power tool includes a casing, a ring-shaped suction opening, a dust collecting route, and a filter. The suction opening protrudes forward from the casing. The tool bit of the electric power tool is insertable into the suction opening in a state where the suction opening is brought into contact with a surface to be processed. The dust collecting route is formed within the casing and guides an air suctioned from the suction opening to a dust collection portion in the casing. The filter is disposed in the dust collection portion to capture dust suctioned with the air. On the dust collecting route in the dust collection portion, a first filter and a second filter are disposed. The first filter includes a dust collecting chamber partitioned inside the dust collection portion. The second filter is arranged outside the first filter independently from the first filter.

  • Publication number: 20170252915
    Abstract: A hammer drill includes a housing, a tool holder, a hammering member, a gear, and a conversion member. The gear is switched to a first state where a rotation of the intermediate shaft is transmitted and a second state where the rotation of the intermediate shaft is not transmitted, and a mode switching member is configured to perform a switching operation of the state of the gear from an outside of the housing. The switching of the state of the gear by the mode switching member provides at least two operation modes of a hammer drill mode where the gear integrally rotates with the intermediate shaft to generate the rotation and a reciprocation of the hammering member on the tool holder and a hammer mode where the gear is separated from the rotation of the intermediate shaft to generate only the reciprocation of the hammering member to be selectable.
