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.
Claims23
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 member offset from, and rotatable around, the first actuator rotational axis,
- a plane defined by the operational axis and the first actuator rotational axis being coplanar with a surface of the first engagement edge;
- the first engagement member and first flange being arranged relative to each such that:
- at the body impact position, the first engagement member is operable to engage with the first flange engagement edge, and as the first engagement member rotates around the first actuator rotational axis, the first engagement member
- travels along the first flange engagement land;
- and
- simultaneously urges the body in a direction away from the body impact position toward the body retracted position;
- and
- at the body retracted position the first engagement member is operable to move past the first flange engagement edge to disengage the body from the first engagement member, permitting the body to move on an impact stroke to the body impact position.
