Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pneumatic hand tool, and more particularly to a pneumatic hand tool according to the preamble portion of claim 1.
  • FIG. 9 A currently available pneumatic hand tool is shown in Fig. 9 , which includes a body (90), a cylinder (91), a rotor (92), a bearing (93), a sealing cap (94) and a control knob (95).
  • the conventional pneumatic hand tool as shown is characterized in that the sealing cap (94) is firmly secured to a rear side of the body (90) so as to sealingly encase and position the cylinder (91), the rotor (92) and the bearing (93) inside the body (90).
  • the sealing cap (94) is provided with an inlet passage and a pair of mutually corresponding air conducting passages incorporative with the control knob (95) to control and adjust the air path and air volume entering the cylinder (91). Accordingly, the rotation direction and rotational torque of the pneumatic hand tool is controlled.
  • the separation of the control knob (95) and the cylinder (91) limits that the body (90) has to be made of a metal material and the airtight capability has to be enhanced so as to accomplish safety requirements. Enhancing safety abilities of this conventional pneumatic hand tool increases the manufacture cost. Also, the metal material limitation for the production of the body (90) results in that the overall weight of the pneumatic hand tool is heavy. As a result of heavy weight of the hand tool, it is not easy for the user to operate the hand tool.
  • the present invention tends to provide a novel pneumatic hand tool to mitigate the aforementioned problems.
  • a pneumatic hand tool comprising the features of the preamble portion of claim 1 is known from US 2003/0136570 A1 and also from US 2003/0230423 A1 .
  • the primary objective of the present invention is to provide a compact pneumatic hand tool.
  • the invention provides a pneumatic hand tool comprising the features of claim 1.
  • Advantageous embodiments are laid down in further claims.
  • the pneumatic hand tool in accordance with the present invention includes a hollow body 10, a cylinder assembly 20 received inside the body 10, a sealing pad 30, a striking assembly 40, a front cap 50 sealingly connected to the body 10 with the sealing pad 30 sandwiched therebetween, a control knob 60 rotatably mounted on a side face of the body 10, an exhaust cap 70 connected to a bottom face of a handle 14 of the body 10 and threaded bolts 80 extended through the body 10 to securely connect the front cap 50 to the body 10.
  • the body 10 has a front opening, a space 11 defined in a front portion thereof to communicate with the front opening, a closed rear end provided with a control knob mounting portion 12 and threaded bolt extending portion 13 and a handle 14 extending downward from a bottom face of the body 10 and having a connection portion 140 defined in a bottom face of the handle 14.
  • the cylinder assembly 20 is composed of a cylinder 21, a rotor 22, a front cover 23, a first bearing 24, a second bearing 25, a resilient control assembly 26 and a airtight seal 27.
  • the cylinder 21 has a first leakproofportion 21A, a second leakproof portion 21 B, a receiving recess 21C and a rotor receiving chamber 21D.
  • the first leakproof portion 21A and the second leakproof portion 21B respectively have the airtight seal 27.
  • the receiving recess 21C is defined to receive therein the resilient control assembly 26 and the rotor receiving chamber 21D is defined to receive therein the rotor 22.
  • the rotor 22 has a front shaft 220 provided with a first coupling portion 221, a rear shaft 222 extending from a rear side of the rotor 22, multiple slits 223 defined in an outer periphery thereof to respectively receive therein a blade 224.
  • the rear shaft 222 extends through the cylinder 21 to have the second bearing 25 mounted therearound and the front shaft 220 extends through the front cover 23 to have the first bearing 24 mounted therearound with the front cover 23 mounted on the front portion of the cylinder 21.
  • the cylinder 21, which is received in the space 11 of the body 10, has a rear inlet opening 211, a first inlet 212, a second inlet 213, a first exhaust opening 214, a second exhaust opening 215, a first inlet passage 216, a second inlet passage 217, a bottom inlet opening 218 and an inlet 219, wherein the first inlet 212 and the second inlet 213 respectively communicate with the first inlet passage 216 and the second inlet passage 217, the bottom inlet opening 218 communicates with the rear inlet opening 211 via the inlet 219.
  • the sealing pad 30 is mounted between the front cap 50 and the body 10 to secure the engagement between the front cap 50 and the body 10 in an airtight manner.
  • the striking assembly 40 has a central axle 41 extending from a first side thereof and a second coupling portion 42 extending a second side thereof opposite to the first side to couple with the first coupling portion 221 of the front shaft 220.
  • the front cap 50 has a through hole 51 defined in a front side thereof to allow extension of the central axle 41 therethrough and apertures 52 defined around a face thereof to allow extension of the threaded bolts 80 after extending through the threaded bolt extending portion 13 of the body 10 to secure the engagement between the front cap 50 and the body 10.
  • the control knob 60 is mounted at the control knob mounting portion 12 of the body 10 and has a stop recess 61 corresponding to the receiving recess 21C of the cylinder 21 to sandwich the resilient control assembly 26 therebetween, an air inlet 62, a first air exhaust hole 63, a second air exhaust hole 64 and a leak prevention portion 65 with a leak seal 650 such that after the control knob 60 is mounted at the control knob mounting portion 12, the leak seal 650 is able to prevent any leakage between the control knob 60 and the body 10.
  • the exhaust cap 70 has a coupling portion 71 corresponding to and engaged with the connection portion 140 of the handle 14.
  • Figs. 2-8 are exploded perspective view, sectional view and enlarged perspective views of the components of the present invention
  • the rear end of the central axle 41 of the striking assembly 40 is mounted with the first bearing 24.
  • the outer rim of the first bearing 24 is fitted into the front cover 23.
  • the front shaft 220 of the rotor 22, after extending through the first bearing 24. is connected to the second coupling portion 42 of the striking portion 40 via the first coupling portion 221 thereof, such that rotation of the rotor 22 is able to drive the striking portion 40 to rotate simultaneously.
  • the blades 224 are securely received in the slits 223 of the rotor 22.
  • the front portion of the cylinder assembly 20 is securely connected to the front cover 23 to form a closed space to receive therein the rotor 22 as well as the blades 224.
  • the rear shaft 222 of the rotor 22 is extended through the cylinder 21 to have the second bearing 25 mounted therearound.
  • the control knob 60 is mounted at the rear portion of the cylinder 21 and the central axle 41 of the striking assembly 40 is extended through the through hole 51 of the front cap 50.
