| 20090096401 | POWER TOOL - The controller determines the presence or absence of operation of the trigger switch according to an ON/OFF state of the main contact of the trigger switch and designating the rotation speed of the motor based on a signal outputted from the speed contact. The controller stops the rotation of the motor, after the trigger switch is activated and the main contact is turned ON and the motor is driven according to a signal outputted from the speed contact, when an OFF state of the main contact is detected, only in the case where a signal value outputted from the speed contact is a predetermined value or less. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090108806 | ADAPTOR, ASSEMBLY OF BATTERY PACK AND ADAPTOR, AND ELECTRIC TOOL WITH THE SAME - When a battery pack having an output voltage of 14.4 V that is connectable to an electric tool in a sliding manner is used as a power supply source for the electric tool that is connectable to a battery pack in an insertion manner and has a rated voltage of 12 V, the electric tool and the battery pack are connected to each other with an adaptor interposed therebetween. The adaptor has an FET that is switched at a predetermined duty of a predetermined frequency. The battery pack and the electric tool are connected or disconnected to or from each other by the switching operation, thereby dropping the output voltage of the battery pack. The voltage from the battery pack is detected. When the detected voltage is out of a predetermined value range, it is judged that the overcurrent or overdischarge has occurred. Then, the FET is turned off to stop the electric tool. | 04-30-2009 |
