Patent number: 5673758Abstract: An improved structure of an impact screwdriver is provided which achieves a low-noise screw-driving operation. The impact screwdriver includes a clutch assembly for transmitting torque provided by a motor to a tool bit. The clutch assembly includes a toque-transmitting member, a torque-outputting member, and a clutch coil spring. The clutch coil spring is selectively wound around the torque-transmitting member and the torque-outputting member according to a rotational difference therebetween to establish torque transmission for providing the torque to the tool bit intermittently.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1995Date of Patent: October 7, 1997Assignee: Hitachi Koki Company LimitedInventors: Yasuo Sasaki, Mitsuo Ogura

Patent number: 5350025Abstract: A fluid-activated, percussive impact tool has a piston therein that reciprocates longitudinally but not rotationally. The piston activates a wrap spring clutch to rotate the drill steel. A removable splined nut in combination with the tool's housing restrains rotation of the piston, while permitting longitudinal reciprocation of the piston.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1993Date of Patent: September 27, 1994Assignee: Ingersoll-Rand CompanyInventors: Paul B. Campbell, Robert R. Kimberlin, Sean M. O'Malley, Roland P. Holt

Patent number: 5337841Abstract: A hammer device is coupled to an outer portion of a handle, an operating portion is attached to the other portion of the handle, a holding section is attached to one side of the operating portion, and at the same time, a pair of excavators is rotatably attached to an outer portion of the holding section to conduct a bumping operation and opening and closing operations upon transmission from the operating portion. By this, burdens imposed on workers are reduced, at the same time, security of work is assured and time required for completion of works can be greatly shortened and reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1993Date of Patent: August 16, 1994Inventor: Toshio Mukai

Patent number: 5191946Abstract: A clutch assembly transmits rotary motion in a percussive apparatus to a drill steel. The clutch assembly includes a first hub having a first cylindrical surface formed thereon. A second hub which is substantially rotationally coupled to the drill steel has a second cylindrical surface formed thereon. The second cylindrical surface is coaxial with the first cylindrical surface. A wrap spring engages a portion of both the first cylindrical surface and the second cylindrical surface, wherein relative rotary motion between the first hub and the second hub is permitted in a first direction and restricted in a second direction. The wrap spring clutch transmits motion supplied from a rifle bar assembly as well as a plunger bar arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1992Date of Patent: March 9, 1993Assignee: Ingersoll-Rand CompanyInventors: Leland H.

Patent number: 3955628Abstract: A driven output shaft is mounted in a housing and has freedom of limited axial displacement between a first and a second position. A biasing spring permanently biases the output shaft to the first position. An impact member surrounds the output shaft and has a plurality of angularly spaced first axial projections which interdigitate with angularly spaced second axial projections provided on a disk member axially fixed on and turnably surrounding the output shaft. A retaining arrangement is provided in the housing and is engageable with the disk member to prevent rotation of the same when an axial force is exerted upon the output shaft counter to the action of the biasing spring, causing axial displacement of the output shaft to the second position thereof, and engagement of the disk member with the retaining arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 1974Date of Patent: May 11, 1976Assignee: Robert Bosch G.m.b.H.Inventors: Dieter Grozinger, Heribert Schramm, Steffen Wunsch, Erich Vogel
