Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a power tool.
  • a hand-held power tool may include a bit holder that holds a spare bit, such as a drill bit or a driver bit.
  • Japanese Patent No. 5126596 describes a power tool that includes a bit holder arranged on a battery pack mount, which is located at the bottom end of the power tool.
  • the bit holder of Japanese Patent No. 5126596 is arranged on a rear surface of the battery pack mount.
  • the longitudinal axis of a bit held in the bit holder extends in a sideward direction that is orthogonal to the front-to-rear direction of the power tool.
  • the bit held by the bit holder When the bit held by the bit holder is longer than the sideward width of the power tool, the distal end or basal end projects beyond the bit holder. As a result, the bit may come into contact with the user or a work piece making it difficult to handle the power tool.
  • the bit holder on the rear surface of the battery pack mount limits the length of a bit that can be held without adversely affecting handling of the power tool.
  • One aspect of the present invention is a power tool including a main body, a chuck, and a bit holder.
  • the main body includes a motor, a transmission that directly or indirectly transmits rotation generated by the motor to an output shaft, a grip, and a battery pack mount located at the bottom end of the grip and elongated in a front-to-rear direction.
  • the chuck is arranged on a distal end of the output shaft and projects toward the front from the main body.
  • the bit holder is integrated with the battery pack mount.
  • the bit holder is configured to hold a spare or non-used bit so that a distal end or a basal end of the spare or non-used bit is directed toward the front.
  • Fig. 1 shows a power tool 10 of the present embodiment used as, for example, a drill driver.
  • the power tool 10 includes a main body 11 and a battery pack 12, which is connected in a removable manner to the main body 11.
  • the battery pack 12 incorporates a rechargeable battery.
  • the main body 11 has a housing 13 including a barrel 14, a grip 15 located below the barrel 14, and a battery pack mount 16 located at the bottom end of the grip 15.
  • the housing 13 accommodates a motor 17a driven by, for example, the rechargeable battery of the battery pack 12.
  • a transmission 17 couples the motor 17a to an output shaft 18.
  • the transmission 17 directly or indirectly transmits the rotation generated by the motor 17a to the output shaft 18.
  • a chuck 18a is arranged on a distal end of the output shaft 18 and exposed to the outside of the barrel 14.
  • a bit, such as a driver bit, is attached in a removable manner to the chuck 18a.
  • the bit 19 rotates together with the chuck 18a.
  • the chuck 18a may be referred to as the front end of the power tool 10.
  • the axis L1 of the output shaft 18 extends in the front-to-rear direction of the power tool 10.
  • a trigger switch 20 is arranged on the upper end of the grip 15.
  • the battery pack mount 16 has the form of a rectangular box elongated in the front-to-rear direction.
  • a bit holder 21 is integrated with a left surface 16a of the battery pack mount 16.
  • the bit holder 21 is formed to hold a spare or non-used bit 19 (may be referred to as a spare bit).
  • the distal end or basal end of the spare bit 19 held by the bit holder 21 is directed toward the front of the power tool 10.
  • the left surface 16a of the battery pack mount 16 is one example of an outer panel that is oblong in the front-to-rear direction.
  • the bit holder 21 may be formed by resilient holding pieces (bit holding pieces).
  • the resilient holding pieces form a front (first) clip 22, two rear (second) clips 23, and a third clip 24 located between the two second clips 23.
  • the first clip 22 is longer than the second and third clips 23 and 24.
  • the second and third clips 23 and 24 may have the substantially the same length.
  • the bit 19 of the present embodiment is of, for example, a single-headed Phillips head driver type.
  • the bit 19 includes a distal end 19a, a shank 19b, and a neck 19c.
  • the shank 19b has a non-circular cross-section like a hexagonal bar.
  • the neck 19c has a smaller diameter than the shank 19b.
  • the first clip 22 and the second clips 23 are substantially identical in shape when viewed from the front of the power tool 10.
  • the two resilient holding pieces forming the first clip 22 each include a resilient plate 22a, an arch 22b (engagement portion), and a distal end 22c.
  • the resilient plate 22a projects horizontally from the left surface 16a.
  • the arches 22b of the first clip 22 are curved toward each other.
  • the resilient plates 22a of the first clip 22 are spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction. This forms a bit accommodation gap between the two resilient plates 22a.
  • the size of the bit accommodation gap is substantially the same or slightly smaller than the diameter (distance between two opposed surfaces) of the shank 19b of the bit 19.
  • a gap formed between the two arches 22b is smaller than the bit accommodation gap.
  • the distal ends 22c of the first clip 22 extend away from each other in the vertical direction.
  • each second clip 23 each include a resilient plate 23a, an arch 23b (engagement portion), and a distal end 23c respectively corresponding to the resilient plate 22a, the arch 22b, and the distal end 22c of the first clip 22.
  • the two resilient holding pieces forming the third clip 24 each includes a resilient plate 24a and a distal end 24b.
  • the resilient plate 24a projects horizontally from the left surface 16a.
  • the resilient plate 24a includes a basal portion and a middle portion.
  • the basal portions of the two resilient plates 24a are inclined toward each other from the left surface 16a, and the middle portions extend horizontally.
  • a neck accommodation gap which is smaller than the bit accommodation gap, is formed between the middle portions of the two resilient plates 24a.
  • the size of the neck accommodation gap is substantially the same or slightly smaller than the diameter of the neck 19c.
  • the distal ends 24b extend away from each other in the vertical direction.
  • the bit 19 is guided into the gaps between the distal ends 22c, 23c, and 24b of the first to third grips 22 to 24.
  • the application of force to the bit 19 expands the gaps of the first to third clips 22 to 24.
  • the bit 19 is moved beyond the arches 22b and 23b and into the bit accommodation gaps between the resilient plates 22a to 24a.
  • the shank 19b near the distal end 19a of the bit 19 is held by the first clip 22, the shank 19b at opposite sides of the neck 19c is held by the two second clips 23, and the neck 19c is held by the third clip 24.
  • the bit holder 21 holds the bit 19 so that the distal end 19a or basal end of the bit 19 is directed toward the front of the power tool 10.
  • the bit 19 is held in the longitudinal direction of the battery pack mount 16, which is usually elongated in the front-to-rear direction.
  • the axis of the bit 19 may be parallel to the axis L1 of the output shaft 18.
  • the distal end 19a and the basal end of the bit 19 attached to the bit holder 21 are located outside the first and second clips 22 and 23. This allows the bit holder 21 to hold the bit 19 that is relatively long.
  • the bit holder 21 may hold the bit 19 without the bit 19 projecting beyond the power tool 10 even when the bit 19 has the same length as the battery pack mount 16.
  • the battery pack mount 16 is usually elongated in the front-to-rear direction. This reduces the projected length of the bit 19, which is held by the bit holder 21, from the battery pack mount 16 toward the front or rear. Thus, the limit to the length of the bit 19 may be increased without adversely affecting the handling of the power tool 10.
  • the first and second clips 22 and 23 hold the shank 19b of the bit 19, and the third clip 24 holds the neck 19c of the bit 19. This obviates or reduces movement of the bit 19 in the front-to-rear direction and tightly holds the bit 19.
  • the distal ends 22c and 23c of the first and second clips 22 and 23 project toward the outer side from the bit 19 held by the bit holder 21.
  • the distal ends 22c and 23c each functions as a buffer that protects the bit 19.
  • the present embodiment has the advantages described below.
  • the bit holder 21 is formed to hold the single-headed Phillips head driver type bit 19.
  • the bit holder 21 may hold a double-headed Phillips head driver type bit or a bit that is less the neck 19c.
  • the structure of the bit holder 21 may be changed in accordance with the type of the bit.
  • the bit holder 21 is arranged on only the left surface 16a of the battery pack mount 16. Instead, the bit holder 21 may be held on the right surface of the battery pack mount 16 or on both of the left and right sides.
  • the power tool 10 may be a hand-held power tool other than a drill driver.
  • the bit holder 21 includes the first to third clips 22 to 24.
  • the bit holder 21 may include only one or two of the first to third clips 22 to 24.
