Patent number: 7992652Abstract: A fluid distributor cylinder is for a percussive drill assembly that includes a casing having an inner circumferential surface defining a central bore, a central axis extending through the bore, a bit movably coupled with the casing and a piston movably disposed within the casing bore. The distributor cylinder includes a generally tubular body disposeable within the casing bore and having first and second ends, a central axis extending generally between the first and second ends, an outer circumferential surface. At least a section of the outer surface is configured to engage with the inner surface of the casing so to form an interference fit between the body and the casing. The cylinder includes an exterior thread and/or a radially-extending shoulder configured to releasably engage with the casing inner surface so as to substantially prevent axial displacement of the distributor body with respect to the casing.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2009Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Atlas Copco Secoroc LLCInventor: Timothy J.

Patent number: 7946353Abstract: A power tool, such as a hammer drill and/or a chiseling hammer, includes a lubricated transmission arranged in a sealed transmission box. The transmission box is in fluid connection with the atmosphere via a venting channel. A sealing element is arranged in the venting channel. The sealing element cooperates with the venting channel to create a meandering pathway for air to pass through the venting channel so that leakage of lubricant between the sealing element and the venting channel is at least substantially prevented.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2009Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: AEG Electric Tools GmbHInventor: Thomas Robieu

Patent number: 7710062Abstract: A driver with a reverse-rotation preventer for an inflatable rotating exhibit is mounted inside an inflatable rotating exhibit having a transparent inflatable body and a rotating body and has a rotating assembly and a reverse-rotation preventer. The rotating assembly connects to and rotates the rotating body and has a synchronous motor that rotates in a direction and has a shaft. The shaft is driven by the synchronous motor and rotates the rotating body. However, the synchronous motor will reverse its rotation when the rotating body encounters even temporary resistance while rotating. The reverse-rotation preventer applies a resistance when the rotating body rotates in the wrong direction to make the synchronous motor reverse rotation. Consequently, the reverse-rotation preventer ensures that the rotating inflatable exhibit rotates in the desired direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2007Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Gemmy Industries CorporationInventor: Sheng-Hung Hsu

The reverse-rotation preventer applies a resistance when the rotating body rotates in the wrong direction to make the synchronous motor reverse rotation again to the desired direction. So the reverse-rotation preventer ensures that the rotating inflatable exhibit rotates in the desired direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2007Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Gemmy Industries CorporationInventor: Sheng-Hung Hsu

Patent number: 7426965Abstract: The invention discloses a fluid-driven impactor, a power transmission mechanism for the impactor and the use of the impactor. In the prior art, the working life of the impactor is short, since a rubber primary seal and an upper fluid-diverging lid for the fluid-driven impactor are both liable to erosion and the efficiency in transmitting power is low due to the complexity of the power transmission mechanism. In order to increase the drilling speed and/or extend the life of the impactor, the side cavity passage is formed in such a way that the inner wall of the outer pipe is isolated from the side cavity passage in a watertight manner without the use of the rubber primary seal. The loss in transmitting power is minimized by integrating the anvil of the power transmission mechanism and the lower joint.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2003Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignees: China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, Exploration & Production Research Institute, SinopecInventors: Xinghua Tao, Guoqiang Xu, Xutian Hou, Yijin Zeng

Patent number: 7152692Abstract: A hydraulic hammer having a sealing bushing includes a percussion piston that delivers strokes to a tool. A lower part of the percussion piston is sealed with respect to a frame by the sealing bushing, which includes one or more lower seals. The sealing bushing does not contribute to the bearing of the percussion piston and it is arranged in place through the lower end of the hydraulic hammer.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2005Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: Sandvik Tamrock OyInventors: Arvo Hurskainen, Esko Juvonen

Patent number: 5477932Abstract: An impact device includes a cylinder and a plunger which is received within the cylinder and movable in forward and rearward directions. The plunger includes a first and a second pressure receiving surface for receiving pressure of a pressurized fluid so as to apply force to the plunger in the forward and rearward directions, respectively. An additional pressure receiving surface is formed on the plunger for receiving the pressure from the pressurized fluid so as to apply force in the same direction as one of the first and second pressure receiving surfaces. A first control device is operable to selectively apply the pressure of the pressurized fluid to the additional pressure receiving surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 1994Date of Patent: December 26, 1995Assignee: Teisaku CorporationInventors: Shigeki Asakura, Tokan Okawa

Patent number: 4305473Abstract: A power control device for a pneumatic motor includes a pressure air supply flow limiting means in the form of a flow restriction having a diverging, pressure recovering outlet. The device also comprises a load responsive pressure relief means which is located downstream of the flow restriction and which is arranged to gradually release pressure air from the motor into the atmosphere in response to decreasing load applied on the motor. The device is effective in reducing the motor power in response to decreasing load upon the motor. The disclosed motor is a hammer piston impact tool, and the motor load responsive pressure release means comprises the forward end of the motor cylinder and passages on a thrust sleeve which receives the shank of a chisel and which is slidingly received in the cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1978Date of Patent: December 15, 1981Assignee: Atlas Copco AktiebolagInventor: Per.
