Abstract: A plate spring is attached to the distal-end portion of a piston. The distance L1 between the distal-end portion of a plunger and a core (recessed portion) that faces the distal-end portion of the plunger is set to be shorter than the distance L2 between the distal-end portion (plate spring) of the piston and the projecting end surface of a valve main body that faces the distal-end portion of the piston with drive of a solenoid portion stopped. Consequently, when the solenoid portion is driven, the plate spring collides against the projecting end surface of the valve main body so that the plunger does not collide against the core. As a result, a shock applied to the piston can be absorbed by the elastic force of the plate spring, which suppresses generation of a sound of collision.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and devices utilizing magnetized components to assist operation of an internal mechanism of a tool. Magnetic fields can assist a power tool comprising internal mechanisms that cycle very quickly. Magnetized components can assist in a load/reset action relative to internal components of the power tool. In one example, one or more hammers of a hammer drill/driver can be reset more efficiently when various magnetized elements are oriented in certain ways relative to one another. Additionally, friction between components can be reduced by repulsive magnetic fields between two or more components. Utilizing the magnetic fields can improve the overall function of internal components of the tool. In another example, a tool such as a nailer or stapler can utilize magnetism to assist its internal components. In a nailer or stapler the magnetism can assist, for example, acceleration and deceleration of components utilized to drive the nail/staple.
