Patent number: 7404450Abstract: A pneumatic rotary tool has a housing formed primarily from plastic so that the weight and price of the tool are substantially reduced. The air motor is formed for economic assembly while permitting greater structural stability should the housing deflect under an impact. The tool includes a torque selector which controls the amount of pressurized air allowed to enter the air motor, thereby controlling the torque output of the motor. The user may adjust the torque selector to a number of set positions which correspond to discrete torque values. The tool additionally incorporates early and late stage exhaust ports, so that backpressure within the air motor does not slow motor rotation or decrease tool power.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2001Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Assignee: S.P.

Patent number: 7198116Abstract: A wholly air-controlled impact mechanism invented for creating a more compact and powerful pneumatic wrench comprises a flying hammer, a pressure impulse generator and a pressure container containing the hammer and the generator. The main part of the flying hammer is a flywheel with 2 cavities and a number of air passages. A pilot valve and an impact pin are fitted in the cavities. The impact pin rests in its cavity during energy-accumulation phase and stretches out rapidly from the flywheel to finish an impact during impact phase. The generator transmits pressure impulse periodically, affecting the differential pressure acting on the pilot valve. The higher the differential pressure, the greater the impact torque developed. The unique design of the air passages of present invention results in a very reliable, powerful and durable energy-accumulating pneumatic wrench. Its production cost is much lower due to simplicity of its configuration.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2005Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Inventor: Xiaojun Chen

Patent number: 7194938Abstract: An angular impact wrench is disclosed. The angular impact wrench can comprise a lever that is rotatable about a pivot axis and a reciprocably movable ram that is operatively arranged with the lever to rotate the lever. The lever includes a concave contact surface that is positioned to receive a convex contact surface of the ram. The convex contact surface of the ram is engageable with the concave contact surface of the lever. The lever, in turn, is connected to a drive that is suitable for receiving a socket, for example. The rotatable lever transmits the linear movement of the ram to a rotational movement, thereby imparting a torque to the drive suitable for loosening or tightening a fastener. In some embodiments of the angular impact wrench, the wrench is a removable component suitable for connection to a standard air hammer. In other embodiments, the angular impact wrench of the present invention is an integral unit that is directly connectable to a power source, such as a source of compressed air.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2005Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Inventor: Kenneth Gene Hollar
