Patent number: 10328560Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-mode drive mechanism. The multi-mode drive mechanism may be employed, for example, in a power tool, for driving a chuck supporting an end effector, such as a drill bit or spiral cut bit, for acting on a work surface. For example, when employed in a power tool, the mechanism can generate rotating, reciprocating, or simultaneous rotating and reciprocating motion. Cutting with simultaneous rotational and reciprocating motion lessens the potential for undesired walking or wandering of the cutting bit by actively removing debris from the cut. Additionally, multi-mode drive mechanisms provide increased functionality in a single tool to accommodate a variety of situations and materials. One aspect of the invention provides a multi-mode drive mechanism including: an input shaft, a reciprocating assembly, an output shaft, a reciprocating block, and a shift collar. The input shaft terminates in an input external spur gear.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Inventor: Brian Romagnoli

Patent number: 8800682Abstract: A power tool with a working head for holding a working element. The power tool includes a motor having a motor output shaft for driving said working element and a duct having an inlet locatable in proximity to a point of contact between the working element and a workpiece. A dust collection chamber has an inlet in fluid communication with an outlet from said duct, and an outlet in fluid communication with atmospheric air. A fan is operable to transport air from the inlet of said duct to the inlet of said dust collection chamber. A first drive wheel is mounted on the motor output shaft. A second, driven, wheel mounted on a second shaft and a drive belt connects the first, drive wheel to the second, driven wheel, for transmitting power from the motor output shaft to the second shaft. The fan is mounted on the second shaft.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventor: Andrew Walker

Patent number: 8757286Abstract: An impact tool includes a motor, a hammer casing with an opened rear end and a disk-shaped member coupled to the hammer casing to close the opened rear end and to rotatably support a spindle. A first engagement member is formed on an outer face of the disk-shaped member. A second engagement member is formed on an inner face of the recess and engaging with the first engagement member to restrict a movement of the hammer casing in a second direction parallel to a rotation axis of the spindle. A third engagement member is formed on an outer face of the hammer casing. A fourth engagement member is formed on an inner face of the housing body and engaging with the third engagement member so as to restrict a movement of the hammer casing in the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Makita CorporationInventors: Hidenori Nagasaka, Takuji Kimura, Katsushi Miyashita
