Patent number: 7762348Abstract: A power tool has a handle capable of limited movement mounted to its housing. An axle is rotatably connected to the housing and is movable between a first and second positions and is spring biased towards the first position. Arms are connected to and rotate with the axle. Connectors are slidably mounted within guides and are connected at one end to the arms and at the other end to the handle. Vibrations in the body of the power tool cause movement of one end of the handle, which causes movement of a connector and in turn movement of an arm. Movement of the arm causes rotation of the axle which therefore causes movement of the other arm. This in turn causes the related connector to slide within its guide and move the other end of handle. Thus, movement of one end of the handle is coupled to the other end.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2004Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Michael Stirm, Reimund Becht, Norbert Hahn

The motor (21) has a drive shaft (22). The casing (2) accommodates at least the motor (21). The piston (54) is driven by a rotary motion of the drive shaft (22). The intermediate shaft (41) extends parallel to the drive shaft (22) and is driven to rotate by the rotary motion of the drive shaft (22), the intermediate shaft (41) defining an axial direction. The motion conversion mechanism (51A, 52, 52B; 51B, 53, 53B) is disposed on the intermediate shaft (41) and is capable of moving in association with the intermediate shaft (41) for converting the rotary motion of the drive shaft (22) to a reciprocating motion.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2007Publication date: July 1, 2010Inventors: Takahiro Ookubo, Tsukasa Suzuura

Publication number: 20100163260Abstract: A drilling and/or percussive hammer comprises a handle (10) and a hammer housing (1), which can move relative to the handle (10) and inside of which, among other things, a pneumatic spring percussive mechanism (4) is housed. The pneumatic spring of the pneumatic spring percussive mechanism (4) can be ventilated via a no-load operation duct (13, 15, 17, 26, 27) that is opened and closed by a valve (16, 17, 25). The valve (16, 17, 25) can be opened and closed according to a pressing force acting upon the handle (10). A delay device (18, 20, 21, 29, 30) controls the valve (16, 17, 25) during closing so that the valve reaches the position corresponding to the detected pressing force only with a time delay. This causes a smooth transition from the no-load operation to the percussive operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2006Publication date: July 1, 2010Applicant: WACKER CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT AGInventors: Rudolf Berger, Wolfgang Schmid

Publication number: 20100154226Abstract: A hedge trimmer having a rear handle, a tubular handle and a blade arrangement with at least one cutter bar disposed in a cutter bar plane. An internal combustion engine drives the cutter bars in a reciprocating manner, and has a combustion chamber and a crankshaft mounted in a crankcase so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation. The combustion chamber faces the rear handle, and the crankcase faces the blade arrangement. The blade arrangement has a longitudinal central axis, and the hedge trimmer has a longitudinal plane that is disposed parallel to the axis of rotation of the crankshaft and transverse to the cutter bar plane. The longitudinal central axis of the blade arrangement lies in the longitudinal plane of the hedge trimmer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2009Publication date: June 24, 2010Applicant: Andreas Stihl AG & Co.

Publication number: 20100139940Abstract: A power-driven hammer including a body including a tubular housing and a barrel assembly received in the housing. The barrel assembly has an at-rest position relative to the housing. The barrel assembly includes a barrel having a forward end adapted to hold a tool, an opening, and a rearward end. The barrel assembly includes a mass received in the opening of the barrel. The mass moves in the barrel opening when the hammer is operating through a power stroke and a return stroke. The barrel assembly moves forward and rearward from its at-rest position relative to the housing when the hammer is operating. The hammer includes a vibration reducing mechanism connecting the barrel assembly to the body reducing shock transmitted to the housing as the mass moves forward and rearward in the barrel.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2009Publication date: June 10, 2010Applicant: SP AIR KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Shigeki Kobayashi

Publication number: 20100132969Abstract: It is an object of the invention to reduce size of a dynamic vibration reducer in a power tool. A power tool according to the invention includes a dynamic vibration reducer 151 having a body 153, a weight 155 and elastic elements 157, 159. The body 153 is formed by a plurality of cylindrical members 161, 163 which are coaxially disposed to face each other. The elastic elements 157, 159 exert biasing forces on the cylindrical members 161, 163 such that the cylindrical members 161, 163 are held apart from each other. The cylindrical members 161, 163 are fixed to the tool body 103 side under the biasing forces of the elastic elements 157, 159.
