Abstract
A power tool including an impact tool, a body and an actuator. The actuator is operable to move the body along an operational axis from an impact position, at which the body is operable to transfer impact energy to a head end of the impact tool, to a retracted position spaced apart from the impact position along the operational axis.
Claims20
A power tool, comprising:
- an impact tool having a head end;
- a body, comprising:
- a first flange, comprising:
- a first engagement land, and
- a first engagement edge;
- a first actuator configured to move the body along an operational axis between
- an impact position at which the body is operable to transfer impact energy to the head end of the impact tool, and
- a retracted position spaced apart from the impact position along the operational axis;
- the first actuator, comprising:
- a first actuator rotational axis, and
- a first engagement element offset from, and rotatable around, the first actuator rotational axis,
- the first engagement element and the first flange being arranged relative to each such that:
- at the impact position, the first engagement element is operable to engage with the first flange engagement edge, and as the first engagement element rotates around the first actuator rotational axis, the first engagement element
- travels along the first flange engagement land;
- and
- simultaneously urges the body in a direction away from the impact position toward the retracted position;
- and
- at the retracted position the first engagement element is operable to move past the first flange engagement edge to disengage the body from the first engagement element, permitting the body to move on an impact stroke to the impact position,
- wherein the body is further operable to travel along the operational axis between the impact position;
- and
- a rest position spaced apart from the impact position in a direction away from the retracted position along the operational axis, and
- at the rest position, the first engagement element is spaced apart from the first flange such that, as the first engagement element rotates about the first rotational axis, the body is not engageable by the first engagement element.
