International Classification:
B25B 21/02
US Classification:
173 1, 227131
Abstract:
A device for impacting a fastener in one embodiment includes a frame, a motor mounted to the frame and including a drive shaft defining a drive shaft axis, a lever arm including a pivot axis parallel with the drive shaft axis, a flywheel rotatably mounted on the lever arm and operably connected to the motor for storing energy received from the motor, a drive mechanism for impacting a fastener, and a solenoid configured to pivot the lever arm between a first position wherein the flywheel is spaced apart from the drive mechanism and a second position wherein the flywheel can contact the drive mechanism.

Fastening Tool With Releasable Work Contact Element

View page
US Patent:
8146788, Apr 3, 2012
Filed:
Dec 4, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/630896
Inventors:
Eric E. Hlinka - Roselle IL, US
Chia Sheng Liang - Taipei, TW
Chu Hsiang Tseng - Taipei County, TW
Chin Lung Chang - Taoyuan County, TW
Assignee:
Robert Bosch GmbH - Stuttgart
International Classification:
B25F 5/00
B25C 1/00
US Classification:
227 8, 227107
Abstract:
A tool for driving fasteners includes a work contact element configured to move between a first position and a second position. The tool is prevented from driving fasteners when the work contact element is in the first position. The tool further includes an extension member rigidly connected to the work contact element in a releasable connection arrangement. The releasable connection arrangement is configured to maintain a rigid connection between the work contact element and the extension member during normal operation of the tool. The releasable connection arrangement is further configured to release the rigid connection between the work contact element and the extension member during high impact events that are not associated with normal operation of the tool.

Assignee:
Robert Bosch GmbH - Stuttgart
International Classification:
B65B 1/06
US Classification:
173 1, 227131, 227134
Abstract:
A device for impacting a fastener in one embodiment includes a drive mechanism configured to impact a fastener, a lever arm pivotable between a first position and a second position, and a motor including a plurality of permanent magnets mounted on a rotatable housing, the motor mounted on the lever arm such that when the lever arm is in the first position, the rotatable motor housing is isolated from the drive mechanism and when the lever arm is in the second position, the rotatable motor housing is positioned to transfer rotational energy to the drive mechanism.

B27F 7/17
B27F 7/00
B25C 1/00
US Classification:
227 8, 227131
Abstract:
A device for driving a plurality of fasteners includes a driver assembly having a drive block, a flywheel and a driver mount.
