Patent number: 8991517Abstract: An impact tool includes a reaction force transmitting member, a first elastic member that biases the transmitting member forward, and a second elastic member that is pushed by the transmitting member and compressively deforms when the transmitting member moves rearward by receiving a striking reaction force caused when a tool bit strikes a workpiece, thereby cushioning the force. When the tool bit is pressed against the workpiece, the transmitting member is pushed by the tool bit and compresses the first elastic member, and comes in contact with the second elastic member in an uncompressed state, so that the transmitting member is placed in a predetermined working position in the longitudinal direction. When the transmitting member receives the striking reaction force in the working position, the transmitting member moves rearward in the axial direction of the tool bit and compressively deforms the second elastic member, thereby cushioning the striking reaction force.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2011Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Makita CorporationInventors: Yoshio Sugiyama, Hikaru Kamegai, Masanori Furusawa

Publication number: 20130199810Abstract: A rotary power tool includes a housing, a tool element defining a working axis, and a handle coupled to the housing. The handle is movable along a first axis parallel with the working axis between a retracted position and an extended position. The handle includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The rotary power tool also includes an upper joint coupling the upper portion of the handle to the housing and a lower joint coupling the lower portion of the handle to the housing. Each of the upper and lower joints includes a rod extending into the handle and a biasing member disposed between the handle and the housing. The biasing member is operable to bias the handle toward the extended position. Each of the upper and lower joints is operable to attenuate vibration transmitted along the first axis and along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2013Publication date: August 8, 2013Applicant: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventor: Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation

Patent number: 8496073Abstract: The invention relates to a portable power tool having a motor housing (1) and a separate handle housing (3) fastened to the motor housing (1) by means of an elastic vibration damper (2) and secured thereon in a positive-locking manner. The vibration damper (2) is composed of a fastening sleeve (4) assigned to the motor housing (1), an elastic damping sleeve (5) coaxially enclosing the fastening sleeve (4) and a handle holder (6) likewise coaxially enclosing the fastening sleeve (4) and the damping sleeve (5) and assigned to the handle housing (3). The essentially rigid construction unit consisting of the handle holder (6) and the handle housing (3) is secured in a positive-locking manner, with play, directly to the essentially rigid construction unit consisting of the fastening sleeve (4) and the motor housing (1).Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2005Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: AEG Electric Tools GmbHInventors: Armin Eisenhardt, Horst Fahrner

Patent number: 8485276Abstract: An auto hammer includes a housing having a grip, a head assembly arranged on one end of the housing, a motor mounted within the housing, a switch arranged on the housing for controlling the motor. There are at least two hand-holding positions on the housing where the switch can be triggered. The auto hammer may therefore be held by hands at a plurality of positions and will thereby be suitable for use in various circumstances.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2010Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Chervon LimitedInventor: Gan Wei

Patent number: 8475236Abstract: A sander according to the present invention having a housing, a motor mounted in the housing, wherein the housing comprises an upper housing section and a lower housing section, the upper housing section includes an inner surface, the lower housing section includes a motor housing, the lower housing section at least partially overlapped by the upper housing section, and a grip portion formed on the upper housing section. The upper housing section is connected with the lower housing section through a damping means including at least a damping element positioned on the inner surface the upper housing section and on the periphery of the motor housing section, the damping element engaged with engagement member. The arrangement of the damping means simplifies the connection between the upper and lower housing sections, while effectively reducing the vibrations in the horizontal and vertical directions when the sander is in use.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2009Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Chervon LimitedInventors: Jiyu Zhang, Shuming Wu, Xunzhuang Qiu, Yi Lu

Publication number: 20130112450Abstract: A multi-segmented handle built in tiers, with vibration isolators separating one tier from the other tiers. The tier that connects via isolators with a machine base is the one to which the other tiers are attached. The tiers shape is circular or a series of circles to diminish the shock wave and each tiers tubes are filled with a vibration dampening element turning the tier into a harmonic absorber. Each tier has attachments to accommodate the isolators for attaching one tier to another tier. The shapes that the tiers take are not limited to circular but includes all shapes, curved or straight and the isolators include all types of isolators.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2011Publication date: May 9, 2013Inventors: SUSAN J.
