Abstract: In a dust collection device attached to a hammer drill, a filter is provided in a dust box at a position at which the filter covers an outlet provided on a rear face of a lid body, in a state such that a filter surface projects into the dust box from the rear face of the lid body. A space is formed between an inner face of a box main body and a side face of the filter that is adjacent to the filter surface. Air outlets are provided to guide air, which flows in through an inlet, toward the space.

Abstract: A power tool comprising: a body (103); a dust catching attachment (120) attachable to the body (103); an engagement mechanism portion (151) which engages the body (103) with the dust catching attachment (120); and a spacing member that biases the body (103) and the dust catching attachment (120) in a state that the body (103) and the dust catching attachment (120) are engaged to each other by the engagement mechanism portion (151).

Abstract: A hammer drill includes a dust collector engaged with a housing by sliding. An engagement protrusion, which can engage and disengage with a rear engagement recessed portion provided on a guide groove of the housing, is provided at a position where the dust collector engages with the housing and biased in the direction of engagement with the rear engagement recessed portion. A front engagement recessed portion is also provided on the guide groove, and can engage with the engagement protrusion at a slide position of the dust collector in front of the engagement position. By engaging the engagement protrusion with the front engagement recessed portion, the dust collector can be fixed to the housing even at the slide position.

Abstract: A technique is provided which improves durability in a power tool having a torque transmission device. The representative power tool has a torque transmission device 151. The torque transmission device 151 includes a projection 171 formed on one of opposed surfaces of a first rotating member 153 and a second rotating member 155 and protruding in a direction of a rotational axis, a recess 161 for receiving the projection 171, which is formed in the other of the opposed surfaces and recessed in the direction of the rotational axis, a projection-side engagement surface 175a formed on the projection 171, and a recess-side engagement surface 165a formed on the recess 171. Torque is transmitted when the projection-side and recess-side engagement surfaces 175a, 165a are engaged with each other, while the torque transmission is interrupted when the projection-side and recess-side engagement surfaces 175a, 165a are disengaged from each other.

Abstract: A hammer drill is provided with a connector equipped with a female terminal, movably between a connection position where the female terminal is located inside a plug-in port and a non-connection position where the female terminal is in retreat from inside the plug-in port. The hammer drill is also provided with a torsion spring that urges the connector toward the non-connection position. The connector is provided with a shutter portion that is located inside the plug-in port to close the plug-in port at the non-connection position and is in retreat from inside the plug-in port at the connection position. A dust collecting device is provided with a press rail that comes into abutment on the connector to move the connector to the connection position against the urging of the torsion spring as the dust collecting device is mounted.

Abstract: A dust box joined to a dust collecting device is formed of a box body, and a lid body that is joined to the box body by a hinge and can open and close an opening of the box body, and a main filter and a pre-filter are attached to the lid body.

Abstract: In a hammer drill, a coil spring is disposed rearward of a piston cylinder inside a housing so as to press the piston cylinder to an advanced position when the hammer drill operates in a drill mode, and a supporting plate is disposed at a rear end of the piston cylinder. The supporting plate includes a pair of side plates and a base portion connecting front ends of the side plates. The base portion is in contact with a rear surface of the piston cylinder, and rear ends of the side plates are in contact with a front end of the coil spring. Openings provided in the side plates are configured to hold a pin on which a connecting arm is pivoted.

Abstract: A technique for allowing a user to operate an operating member disposed in a front end region of a power tool in the state in which a dust collecting attachment designed to be attached to the front end region of the power tool is left attached to the power tool. The dust collecting attachment is used on a power tool having an operating member for removal and/or bit angle setting of a tool bit coupled to a front end region of a tool body. The dust collecting attachment has a dust collecting member which can be attached to the front end region of the tool body. The dust collecting member has an opening formed in a region which faces the operating member in the state in which the dust collecting member is attached to the tool body, and the operating member can be operated by user's finger through the opening.
