20120305819 | SWITCH FOR PNEUMATIC TOOL - Used in a pneumatic tool having an air intake passage and a gas control member set in the air intake passage, a switch is disclosed to include a valve seat set in the air intake passage and movable into contact with or away from the gas control member and defining an air hole, and a valve rod inserted through the air hole of the valve seat and biasable to stop a positioning portion thereof against the air hole or to move the positioning portion away from the air hole. When the positioning portion of the valve rod is stopped against the valve seat and the valve seat is stopped against the gas control member, the air intake passage is blocked. When the valve rod is biased relative to the valve seat, the positioning portion is moved away from the air hole of the valve seat for allowing a compressed gas to pass through the air hole, and when the valve rod is biased further to carry the valve seat away from the gas control member, the compressed gas is allowed to pass between the valve seat and the gas control member. | 12-06-2012 |
