Patent number: 8978520Abstract: A tightening machine has a socket unit which tightens a reaction washer and a nut to each other. The socket unit includes an inner socket whose tip end can engage with the nut, and an outer socket formed concentrically with the inner socket. A tip end of the outer socket can engage with the reaction washer. The socket unit concentrically includes an inner socket holder and an outer socket holder. The inner socket holder and the outer socket holder can rotate in opposite directions from each other, and the outer socket holder is formed around an outer periphery of the inner socket holder. The inner socket is detachably engaged with the inner socket holder, and the outer socket is detachably engaged with the outer socket holder. The inner socket is engaged with the inner socket holder with clearance in its circumferential direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2011Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Maeda Metal Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Akihiro Yoshimachi, Yukio Torigai

Patent number: 7135791Abstract: A controller compares a minimum value of power source voltage which decreases in association with starting current generated upon start of a motor with a threshold value in a storing unit. When the minimum value is less than the threshold value, the controller notifies of shortage of the power source terminal voltage, and stops the motor. The controller also compares a value obtained by integrating the power source voltage which decreases in association with starting current generated upon start of the motor for only predetermined time with the threshold value in the storing unit, when the integral value is less than the threshold value, notifies of shortage of the power source terminal voltage, and stops the motor.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2005Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignee: Maeda Metal industries, Ltd.Inventors: Toshihiko Kushida, Yukio Torigai
