Abstract
A wheel cover including a first cover attachable to a body of a power tool and a second cover removably attachable to the first cover reduces rattling of the second cover. The wheel cover includes a first cover attachable to a body of the power tool to cover at least a portion of a first surface of the tip tool adjacent to the body of the power tool, a second cover removably attachable to the first cover to cover at least a portion of a second surface of the tip tool opposite to the body of the power tool, and a rattle restrainer that reduces, while the second cover is attached to the first cover, rattling of the second cover relative to the first cover.
Claims21
A wheel cover for covering a disk-shaped tip tool attached to an output shaft of a power tool, the wheel cover comprising:
- a first cover attachable to a body of the power tool to cover at least a portion of a first surface of the tip tool, the first surface being adjacent to the body of the power tool;
- a second cover removably attachable to the first cover to cover at least a portion of a second surface of the tip tool, the second surface being opposite to the body of the power tool;
- and
- a rattle restrainer configured to reduce, while the second cover is attached to the first cover, rattling of the second cover relative to the first cover.

A wheel cover for covering a disk-shaped tip tool attached to an output shaft of a power tool, the wheel cover comprising:
- a first cover attachable to a body of the power tool to cover at least a portion of a first surface of the tip tool, the first surface being adjacent to the body of the power tool, the first cover including
- a first plate face protector facing the first surface of the tip tool to protect a first plate face of the tip tool, and
- a first periphery protector facing a peripheral edge of the tip tool about the output shaft to protect a periphery of the tip tool;
- and
- a second cover removably attachable to the first cover to cover at least a portion of a second surface of the tip tool, the second surface being opposite to the body of the power tool, the second cover including
- a second plate face protector facing the second surface of the tip tool to protect a second plate face of the tip tool,
- a second periphery protector facing the peripheral edge of the tip tool about the output shaft to protect the periphery of the tip tool,
- a bend located on a first circumferential end of the second periphery protector and engageable with a first circumferential end of the first periphery protector,
- an engagement member located on a second circumferential end of the second periphery protector and deformable in the circumferential direction of the second periphery protector, the engagement member being manually engageable with a second circumferential end of the first periphery protector when the second cover is attached to the first cover, and
- an urging member located on the second circumferential end of the second periphery protector, to urge the engagement member from the second circumferential end toward a middle of the second periphery protector,
- wherein the second cover is attachable to the first cover to have the second periphery protector overlapping the first periphery protector and the second periphery protector covering the first periphery protector.
