アピールするような機能が求められる。In the case of a power tool, it is preferable that its existence be easily recognized. This is because a blade, a drill, or the like is often attached to the tip or the like as a tip tool. Particularly, in the case of a portable power tool, there is a possibility that the power tool is left in an unsteady position. If the lighting after the work is turned off or the lighting is not sufficient, it is often considered that the lighting is left behind or it is difficult to find. Nevertheless, there has been no power tool and its accessories that have a function of appealing their existence, and no measures have been taken. Therefore, in an environment where the lighting condition is not good, a function is required that the power tool or its accessory itself appeals its existence in order to prevent the power tool from being left behind and to recognize its existence at an early stage. .

確認することができる。As shown in FIG. 1, a self-luminous part 4 is attached to a body part 6 of a power tool T according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, the self-luminous portion 4 is in the form of a sheet, in which a pre-designed manufacturer's mark is drawn, and the mark self-emits. Therefore, the mark can be confirmed even when the illumination is dark or in a dark place.

In the present invention, the mounting location is not limited to the body portion 6 as long as the location can be visually confirmed in a normal state. In the embodiment of the present invention, the sheet-like self-light-emitting portion 4 is a kind of a sticker. However, it may be plate-shaped and attached to the power tool T, or may be drawn directly on the power tool T.

るように構成することができる。[0010] Luminescent pigments are used for self-emission. When a plate is used, a circuit for charging by operating the power tool T or charging from sunlight or the like, a rechargeable battery and a light-emitting diode are incorporated in the plate, so that the light-emitting diode emits light when the surroundings are dark. It can be configured as follows.

イッチは一つに限らない。In the present invention, the switch 2, which is an operation component of the power tool T, can emit light by itself.
In that case, when forming the switch 2 with resin, the phosphorescent pigment may be mixed with the raw resin. Alternatively, a phosphorescent pigment may be applied to the outer surface of the formed switch 2. In this case, the material of the switch 2 is not limited to resin. Naturally, the switch 2 that emits light is not limited to the grip portion 8 and may be installed anywhere on the power tool T. The number of switches is not limited to one.
【００１２】その結果、照明が暗い状態又は暗所におい

問わず、作業者に注意を促すことも可能である。As a result, the presence of the power tool T on which the switch 2 is installed can be confirmed even in a dark state or a dark place. Since the switch 2, which is an operation component, emits light by itself, the position can be recognized early even in a dark state or a dark place. Further, when the switch 2 emits light, it is possible to alert the worker regardless of whether the switch is in use.

品の材質は樹脂に限らない。Further, in the present invention, the body 6, the grip 8, the tip tool attachment 10, and the battery pack 12 can emit light by themselves. These parts can be molded with a resin containing a luminous pigment. Alternatively, luminous pigments may be applied to their outer surfaces. In this case, the material of these components is not limited to resin.

認識することが可能である。As a result, the presence of the power tool T composed of the body portion 6, the grip portion 8, the tip tool mounting portion 10, and the battery pack 12 can be confirmed even in a dark or dark place. By the way, it is conceivable that the work is interrupted or left unattended while the tip tool (not shown) is attached to the tip tool mounting portion 10. Therefore, especially when the tip tool mounting portion 10 emits light by itself, the position can be recognized at an early stage.
