  • Publication number: 20090236110
    Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a technique which is effective in improving the durability of an angular positioning device of a tool bit and in reducing weight of a tool body in an impact tool. A representative impact tool includes a tool body, a lubricant sealed in the housing space, a driving mechanism, a tool holder, an angular positioning device disposed on a tip end side of the tool body and serves to fix a position of the tool bit around the axis with respect to the tool body. The angular positioning device includes first and second locking members. The first locking member is disposed between the tool body and the tool holder. The second locking member is disposed opposite to the first locking member. One end of the first locking member in the axial direction of the tool bit extends into the housing space of the tool body and is connected to the tool body within the housing space.

  • Patent number: 7438139
    Abstract: A tool assembly (10), for example a hydraulic or pneumatic hammer assembly, includes a housing (11) defining a chamber (16), a removable reciprocating work tool (20) arranged in the chamber, and a tool retention member (80) having an aperture through which the work tool extends. The housing (11) includes an engaging structure (50) which permits the engagement of the tool retention member (80) with the housing by relative rotation of the tool retention member and housing. The work tool (20) is provided with retention structure (44) such as a retaining flange which prevents the removal of the work tool from the housing when the tool retention member is engaged with the housing. At least some of the disclosed embodiments may eliminate the need for a retainer pin, thereby allowing the work tool to rotate, possibly avoiding wear, increasing tool life and simplifying tool replacement.

  • Patent number: 7380612
    Abstract: An electric power tool is provided which prevents malfunction with excellent operability even when one operation mode among various modes is selectable. In a gear case of a housing, there are provided a clutch switching groove which engages with a connecting projection of a clutch switching lever, a slit which guides a guide body having a stepped pin which penetrates an impact switching groove to engage with an auxiliary ring, and a percussion switching groove which engages with a connecting projection of a percussion switching lever. In addition, a switching case is externally provided, so that combination of sliding positions of each switching member can be changed. As the switching case can be operated by a switching button, any of all operation modes, which are, a drill mode, an impact mode, a percussion drill mode, and a clutch mode can be selected with the switching button only.

  • Patent number: 7364168
    Abstract: The inventive device includes a casing, inside of which the body is accommodated that has the hydraulic striking mechanism, inside of which a bush is mounted for guiding a tool. Said tool is held in a manner that enables it to rotate in the guiding bush and its horizontally displacement therein is limited by a cotter. The guiding bush includes at least one non-circular peripheral area that interacts with an area having a complementary shape that is made in the front of the casing in order to limit the rotation of the bush and thus of the body relative to the casing.

  • Patent number: 7222862
    Abstract: A tool holder for a power tool, in particular a drilling and/or hammering tool comprising a manually actuable sleeve (40) wherein components of the tool holder are held within the sleeve by a snap ring (100) which snap ring is fitted within the sleeve. The snap ring has at least one resilient arm (102) and the sleeve has a corresponding number of through holes (105) which extend to a radially outwardly facing surface of the sleeve, arranged such that the or each arm is engageable with a corresponding through hole in a snap fit. Each arm and through hole cooperate so that the portion (104) of the or each arm which can be viewed from the radially outwardly facing surface of the sleeve appears in the shape of a symbol. Thus, the snap ring (100) has the dual function of maintaining components, such as a locking ring (42) within the sleeve (40) and of providing an external indication to a user of how to actuate the sleeve.
