Patent number: 8205683Abstract: A handheld power tool has a housing having two separate housing parts, between which a primary damping element is disposed, wherein a secondary damping element is disposed acting parallel to said primary damping element. During regular function of the primary damping element, the secondary damping element is at least approximately force-free. In the event of a changed relative position between the two housing parts, the damping occurs via the secondary damping element.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2008Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Joachim Schadow, Joerg Maute

Patent number: 8196675Abstract: An impact hammer with pre-pressing damping and buffering effect includes a handle, outer barrel, air inlet, internal slide, actuating cylinder, air flow switching module and air inlet coupling portion. A front damper is assembled between the front end of the internal slide and the front end wall of the holding space and is characterized by a two-section pre-pressing rear damper assembled between the rear end of the internal slide and the rear end wall of the holding space. The two-section pre-pressing rear damper includes superposed upper and lower elastic buffers. At least the lower elastic buffer is pressed by a pre-pressing member to the preset degree. When the impact hammer yields recoil force under the impaction of the piston, the pre-pressing rear damper is employed to realize stronger buffering effect, so that the impact force is not much affected, thereby improving the impact efficiency and yielding excellent buffering effect.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Sing Hua Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ching-Shun Chang

Patent number: 8196674Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a technique that contributes to further improvement of an impact tool. A representative impact tool includes a motor, a tool body that houses the motor, a dynamic vibration reducer and a driving mechanism part that is driven by the motor and forcibly drives the dynamic vibration reducer by applying an external force other than vibration of the tool body to the dynamic vibration reducer, during hammering operation. At least one of the dynamic vibration reducer and the driving mechanism part is mounted to the tool body in a form of an assembly into which at least one of a plurality of component parts forming the dynamic vibration reducer and a plurality of component parts forming the driving mechanism part are assembled in advance.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2009Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Makita CorporationInventors: Hiroki Ikuta, Shin Nakamura, Yoshio Sugiyama, Masao Miwa, Takuya Sumi, Takuo Arakawa

Publication number: 20120129436Abstract: An improved hand-held power tool is provided which can effectively reduce whirling vibration caused by imbalance of a rotating element. The power tool has a grip that is connected to a tool body and designed to be held by a user and a self-synchronous mechanism that reduces whirling vibration caused in the tool body or the grip when the tool bit is driven. The self-synchronous mechanism is of a phase variable type, having a rotating body which serves as a vibrator and is rotationally driven by a driving source different from a driving source for the tool bit. The self-synchronous mechanism is disposed in the tool body or the grip in which whirling vibration is caused, and arranged such that a phase of vibration of the rotating body is automatically tuned to a phase of the whirling vibration, thereby reducing the whirling vibration.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2011Publication date: May 24, 2012Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Ryo SUNAZUKA, Hirokatsu YAMAMOTO, Takaaki OSADA

Publication number: 20120125649Abstract: A hand-held machine tool having a linear drive for moving a tool along a working axis, e.g. a motor-driven pneumatic driving tool, is provided. At least two dampers are provided in the hand-held machine tool for damping vibrations along the working axis. A resonant excitation of a vibration of the first damper along the working axis occurs at a first resonance frequency, which differs from a second resonance frequency of the second damper for the vibration along the working axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2011Publication date: May 24, 2012Inventors: Oliver Ohlendorf, Jorg Martin

Publication number: 20120129435Abstract: A hand-held rotary tool is provided which can offer improved usability while realizing reduction of vibration of a tool body. The rotary tool has a tool body, a drive shaft disposed in the tool body, a driven shaft to which a tool bit is attached, an Oldham's coupling that transmits rotation of the drive shaft to the driven shaft, and an elastic element disposed between the driven shaft and the tool body. The driven shaft is prevented from moving in a longitudinal direction of the driven shaft relative to the tool body and allowed to move in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the driven shaft relative to the tool body. During this relative movement, power transmission from the drive shaft to the driven shaft is maintained via the Oldham's coupling. The elastic element absorbs the movement of the driven shaft relative to the tool body.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2011Publication date: May 24, 2012Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventor: Hiroki IKUTA

Patent number: 8181715Abstract: A power tool according to the invention includes a dynamic vibration reducer having a body, a weight and elastic elements. The body is formed by a plurality of cylindrical members which are coaxially disposed to face each other. The elastic elements exert biasing forces on the cylindrical members such that the cylindrical members are held apart from each other. The cylindrical members are fixed to the tool body side under the biasing forces of the elastic elements. Venting members for forced vibration are provided on the cylindrical members and protrude radially outward from the cylindrical members, respectively. The venting members are mounted by inserting into venting member mounting parts on the tool body side in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical members. At least one of the venting members can move with respect to the cylindrical member in the longitudinal direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2009Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Makita CorporationInventors: Shinya Bito, Takuro Konishi
