Power tool having hammer mechanism

A power tool, comprising:

• a final output shaft configured to removably hold a tool accessory and to be rotatable around a driving axis;
• a motor having a motor shaft that extends in a direction intersecting the driving axis;
• a first intermediate shaft extending in parallel to the driving axis;
• a second intermediate shaft extending in parallel to the driving axis and to the first intermediate shaft;
• a motion-converting mechanism configured to convert rotation of the first intermediate shaft into linear reciprocating motion to hammer the tool accessory along the driving axis;
• a rotation-transmitting mechanism configured to transmit rotation of the second intermediate shaft to the final output shaft to rotationally drive the tool accessory around the driving axis;
• a driving bevel gear disposed on the motor shaft;
• a driven bevel gear disposed on the first intermediate shaft adjacent to a bearing that rotatably supports one end portion of the first intermediate shaft, the driven bevel gear meshing with the driving bevel gear disposed on the motor shaft;
• a driving gear disposed on the first intermediate shaft between the driven bevel gear and the motion-converting mechanism;
• and
• a driven gear disposed on the second intermediate shaft, the driven gear meshing with the driving gear.

A power tool, comprising:

• a motor having a motor shaft that is rotatable around a rotational axis;
• a first intermediate shaft;
• a second intermediate shaft extending in parallel to the first intermediate shaft;
• an output shaft configured to removably hold a tool accessory, the output shaft having a driving axis that extends in parallel to the first intermediate shaft and to the second intermediate shaft;
• a motion-converting mechanism configured to convert rotation of the first intermediate shaft only into linear reciprocating motion and thereby hammer the tool accessory along the driving axis;
• and
• a rotation-transmitting mechanism configured to transmit rotation of the second intermediate shaft to the output shaft and thereby only rotationally drive the output shaft around the driving axis;
• wherein:
• the rotational axis of the motor shaft intersects the driving axis or is skewed with respect to the driving axis;
• a pair of first gears operably couples the motor shaft to the first intermediate shaft;
• a pair of second gears operably couples the first intermediate shaft to the second intermediate shaft;
• a first one of the first gears is disposed on the first intermediate shaft adjacent to a bearing that rotatably supports one end portion of the first intermediate shaft;
• a first one of the second gears is disposed on the first intermediate shaft between the first one of the first gears and the motion-converting mechanism;
• and
• the first gears are bevel gears.
