Abstract
A hammer drill includes a unit for supplying impact force to a tool inserted into the hammer drill and a unit for supplying rotational forces to the tool. A first drive motor drives the impact force unit and a second drive motor drives the rotational force unit. The motors can be operated independently of one another. A first drive train interconnects the first drive motor to the impact force unit and a second drive train interconnects the second drive motor and the rotational force unit. A coupling device interconnects the first and second drive trains so that at least one of the impact force unit the rotational force unit can be selectively driven by both the first and second motors.
Claims5
Hammer drill for selectively providing rotational force, impact force or rotational and impact forces to a tool inserted into a hammer drill, comprising a housing, means within said housing for applying impact forces to the tool, means within said housing for applying rotational forces to the tool, a first drive motor arranged to drive said impact force means, a second drive motor arranged to drive said rotational force means, said first and second drive motors being controllable independently of one another, wherein the improvement comprises a first drive train interconnecting said first drive motor and said impact force means, a second drive train separate from said first drive train and interconnecting said second drive motor and said rotational force a coupling device, and means for interconnecting said first and second drive trains so that at least one of said impact force means and said rotational force means can be selectively driven by both said first and second drive motors.
