Abstract

A reciprocating saw, comprises: a housing [13], a plunger [15], a driving gear [7], a link shaft [4], a pushing member [9], a lifting member [11], a front end portion of said link shaft [4] rotatablely connect with a rear end portion of said plunger [15], said lifting member [1] connect with said housing [13] and contact with a front end portion of said pushing member [9], said lifting member [11] also contact with a sleeve bearing which disposed on a rear end portion of said plunger [15], a angle between lines through a center of a first eccentric shaft [5], a rotating center of said driving gear [7] and a rotating center of a second eccentric shaft [8] is an obtuse angle. Said pushing member will move back and forth when said link shaft [4] move forward, the movement of said pushing member in the direction opposite to the movement of said link shaft will eliminate the vibration which resulting from the reciprocating movements of said plunger.

Dependent claims

A reciprocating saw comprising:

a housing;
a plunger in the housing for exteriorly mounting a saw blade;
a driving gear connected to a driving mechanism;
a first eccentric shaft and a second eccentric shaft disposed on the driving gear;
a link member, having a rear end portion and a front end portion, the rear end portion connected to the first eccentric shaft and the front end portion pivotally connected to a rear end portion of the plunger;
a pushing member having a rear end portion rotatably connected to the second eccentric shaft;
a lifting member pivotally connected to the housing, characterized in that:
the lifting member contacts a front end portion of the pushing member and a sleeve bearing disposed on a rear end portion of the plunger, wherein an angle formed between lines through a central axis of the first eccentric shaft, a central axis of the driving gear and a central axis of the second eccentric shaft is obtuse, wherein the lines lie in a plane which is perpendicular to the first eccentric shaft.

5 more elements

A reciprocating saw comprising:

an elongate housing;
a bearing having an exterior radial connecting pin;
a linearly reciprocative plunger extending internally along the elongate housing, said linearly reciprocative plunger having a trailing end portion and a leading end portion, wherein said linearly reciprocative plunger at or near to the trailing end portion is journalled within the bearing;
a saw blade exteriorly connected to the leading end portion of the linearly reciprocative plunger;
a rotary driving gear upon which are eccentrically disposed a first elongate shaft and a second elongate shaft, wherein an angle formed between lines through a central axis of the first elongate shaft, a central axis of the rotary driving gear and a central axis of the second elongate shaft is obtuse, wherein the lines lie in a plane which is perpendicular to the first elongate shaft;
a link member having a first end and a second end, the first end of the link member being mounted radially on the first elongate shaft and the second end being coupled radially to the trailing end portion of the linearly reciprocative plunger, wherein in use the link member is linearly reciprocative in response to the rotation of the rotary driving gear;
a push rod having a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the first end portion of the push rod is mounted radially on the second elongate shaft and the push rod is linearly reciprocative in response to the rotation of the rotary driving gear in an opposing direction to the link member;
a rocker pivotally mounted transversally on the elongate housing adjacent to the trailing end portion of the linearly reciprocative plunger, said rocker having a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the first end portion of the rocker is in contact with the second end portion of the push rod and the second end portion of the rocker is engaged with the exterior radial connecting pin such that linear reciprocation of the push rod causes the rocker to pivot reciprocatively on the housing thereby causing the second end portion of the rocker to reciprocatively displace the exterior radial connecting pin substantially transversally thereby reciprocatively displacing the trailing end portion of the linearly reciprocative plunger substantially transversally;
and
a pivot member mounted in the elongate housing at or near to the leading end portion of the linearly reciprocative plunger about which the substantially transversally displaced trailing end portion of the linearly reciprocative plunger pivots thereby substantially transversally displacing the saw blade in an opposing transverse direction.
