Abstract
A work tool includes a motor, a driving mechanism, a housing, a handle, a detecting mechanism and an elastic support part. The detecting mechanism is configured to detect information corresponding to an operating state of the work tool. The elastic support part supports the detecting mechanism so as to be movable relative to the housing in at least two of a front-rear direction, an up-down direction and a left-right direction. The elastic support part includes at least one elastic member disposed between the detecting mechanism and the housing. The elastic support part has respectively different spring constants in the at least two directions.
Claims12
A work tool configured to perform an operation on a workpiece by driving a tool accessory, the work tool comprising:
- a motor;
- a driving mechanism configured to perform at least a hammering operation of linearly driving the tool accessory along a drive axis by power of the motor, the drive axis extending in a front-rear direction of the work tool;
- a housing that houses at least the motor and the driving mechanism;
- a handle connected to the housing, the handle including a grip part, the grip part crossing the drive axis and extending in an up-down direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction;
- a detecting mechanism configured to detect information corresponding to an operating state of the work tool;
- and
- an elastic support part supporting the detecting mechanism so as to be movable relative to the housing in at least two of the front-rear direction, the up-down direction and a left-right direction, which is orthogonal to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction, the elastic support part including at least one elastic member disposed between the detecting mechanism and the housing,
- wherein the elastic support part has respectively different spring constants in the at least two directions.
