Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090015183 | Power tools - A power tool includes a motor, a first device and a second device. The motor receives a supply of an electric power from a power source externally of the power tool. The first device determines if the electric power supplied from the power source is an AC power or a DC power. The second device permits or interrupts the supply of the electric power to the motor depending on the determination of the first device. | 01-15-2009 |
20090128062 | Electric power tool - An electric power tool, which comprises a motor that drives a tool, a power source unit that applies voltage to the motor, a main switching circuit that makes/breaks an electrical connection between the power source unit and the motor, an illuminator that illuminates a work spot, a switching device that electrically connects the illuminator to the power source unit, and an OR circuit that is electrically connected to terminals of the motor to the base terminal is provided. The OR circuit electrically connects one of the motor terminals at which a voltage is higher to the base terminal. | 05-21-2009 |
20090207035 | Electrical power tools - An electrical power tool may include a housing, a rotating tool that is rotatably attached to the housing, a motor that is positioned in the housing and is capable of rotating the rotating tool, a manipulating portion that is attached to the housing, and an indicator device that is disposed in the housing and is capable of indicating a condition of the electrical power tool. The manipulating portion is positioned to substantially cover the indicator device. The manipulating portion is constructed such that light emitted from the indicator device can be transmitted therethrough. | 08-20-2009 |
20100236800 | POWER TOOL - It is an object of the invention to easily determine a currently-selected operation mode in a power tool which offers several operation modes. A representative electric hammer drill | 09-23-2010 |
20110025207 | ELECTRIC POWER TOOL - An electric power tool can include a main body, which rotates a motor with a pull operation of the switch lever and actuates a head tool by a rotative force of the motor, and an auxiliary tool configured for attaching and detaching to and from the electric power tool main body. In the main body, an actuating part actuated with the pull operation of the switch lever is provided. The auxiliary tool includes a detecting part, which noncontactly detects an actuation of the actuating part, and an electric circuit section for actuating electric devices, provided in the auxiliary part, by a detecting actuation of the detecting part. | 02-03-2011 |
20110114347 | HAND-HELD TOOL - An effective technique for detecting several load conditions different in presence or absence and magnitude of load applied to a tool bit is provided in a hand-held tool. A hand-held tool | 05-19-2011 |
20120068633 | VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH AND ELECTRIC POWER TOOL WITH THE VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH MOUNTED THERETO - A variable speed switch includes a switch main body portion which is accommodated in a housing of an electric power tool and mounted to the housing so as to be capable of relative movement, and a load sensor which is provided in the switch main body portion and capable of outputting an electric signal in proportion to the amount of distortion caused by a pressing force. The switch operating portion is mounted on the surface of the housing so as to be capable of relative displacement with respect to the housing and transmits a pressing force applied to the switch operating portion to the load sensor, with the maximum displacement amount of the switch operating portion being set to equal to or less than 5 mm. | 03-22-2012 |
20130175961 | ELECTRIC POWER TOOL - An electric power tool is configured to control power supply to a motor based on an operational amount of the variable speed switch, and further configured to perform in an intermittent control mode in which power supply to the motor is varied intermittently in the same manner as if an ON operation and an OFF operation of the variable speed switch were repeated. It is also able to perform in a continuous control mode in which power supply to the motor is varied based on the operational amount of the variable speed switch. | 07-11-2013 |
20130271054 | ELECTRIC TOOL - An electric tool may include an electric motor, a switch operable by a user for adjusting the rotational speed of the electric motor, an operation amount detection device configured to detect the operation amount of the switch, and an operation amount indicating device coupled to the operation amount detection device and configured to indicate the detected operation amount to the user. | 10-17-2013 |
20130277081 | RECHARGEABLE ELECTRIC POWER TOOL - A rechargeable electric power tool includes a battery pack that is detachably provided on a housing accommodating a motor and that supplies electric power to the motor, and a tool that is driven by the motor. A standby switch and a lock-on switch are arranged at the housing. The standby switch is able to set the rechargeable electric power tool to a standby state where the rechargeable electric power tool waits for the motor to be driven. The lock-on switch is able to shift the rechargeable electric power tool from the standby state to a state where the motor is driven so as to keep the state where the motor is driven. | 10-24-2013 |
20140125256 | VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH AND ELECTRIC POWER TOOL WITH THE VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH MOUNTED THERETO - A variable speed switch includes a switch main body portion which is accommodated in a housing of an electric power tool and mounted to the housing so as to be capable of relative movement, and a load sensor which is provided in the switch main body portion and capable of outputting an electric signal in proportion to the amount of distortion caused by a pressing force. The switch operating portion is mounted on the surface of the housing so as to be capable of relative displacement with respect to the housing and transmits a pressing force applied to the switch operating portion to the load sensor, with the maximum displacement amount of the switch operating portion being set to equal to or less than 5 mm. | 05-08-2014 |
