Description

  The present invention relates to a power tool such as a disc grinder.

  A disk grinder currently widely used in construction sites, for example, is represented by a disk-type cutting tool (grinding stone 15) at the tip of a spindle that is rotationally driven by a built-in electric motor, as represented by the embodiment shown in Patent Document 1, for example. With a semicircular guard (grinding wheel cover 7) that includes an adapter part that clamps the outer periphery of the bearing part that pivotally supports the spindle and covers a part of the outer periphery on the concentric circle of the disk-type cutting tool. doing.

  By the way, disc grinders often have different outer diameters of bearings depending on manufacturers.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, when the same guard 46 with an adapter is attached to a disc grinder having a different outer diameter of the bearing portion 6, there is a shift 47 between the center axis of the disc-shaped blade 4 and the guard 46 with an adapter. Will occur.
When the deviation 47 occurs, the gap 48 between the disk-type cutting tool 4 and the inner wall of the guard 46 with an adapter decreases, and in the worst case, both may come into contact with each other. Moreover, when it mounts | wears with a bearing part with too small diameter, the deformation | transformation of the adapter part of the guard 46 with an adapter will become excessive, and there exists a possibility of damaging.

  Therefore, it is basically necessary to use a dedicated guard that matches the outer diameter of the bearing portion of each disc grinder.

  On the other hand, a guard having a dust collecting function or the like as an example shown in Patent Document 2 is provided as a general-purpose product.

In this embodiment, the adapter parts (the first adapter 31 and the second adapter 32) are detachable from the guard (protective cover 1), so prepare an adapter that matches the bearing part of the disc grinder to be installed. For example, the center of the disc-shaped cutting tool (cutter 11) and the guard can be matched.
However, it is not practical to prepare dedicated adapters for all of the various disk grinders on the market, and the more adapters that are provided, the more likely errors will be made during installation.

As one of the solutions to the above-mentioned problems, for example, in the embodiment shown in Patent Document 3, the adapter part is composed of three independently movable holders (brackets 34), each of which is an elastic band (warm drive host). The guard connected by clamp42) is introduced.
In the present embodiment, since the position of each holder can be adjusted in accordance with the outer diameter of the bearing portion, it can be mounted on various disc grinders without replacing the adapter.

  However, since the elastic band used in this embodiment is freely deformable and cannot always maintain a perfect circle state, as shown in FIG. 4 (FIG. 4) in Patent Document 3, it depends on the situation. There is a possibility that the center of the guard (body 14) does not coincide with the center of the bearing portion sandwiched between the three holders.
