A hammer drive mechanism for a hammer strike mechanism of a hammer drill is provided including: a drive shaft capable of being rotationally driven by a motor, a rod capable of reciprocatingly driving a piston, and a conversion mechanism that converts the rotary movement of the drive shaft into a reciprocating movement of the rod. The drive shaft comprises a first part connected to the conversion mechanism and a second part capable of being rotationally driven by a motor. The second part connects to the first part via at least one dampener such that rotary movement of the second part is transferred to the first part via the at least one dampener.

An impact tool includes a motor, a driving mechanism, a tool body, an elastically-connected part elastically connected to the tool body to be movable at least in a front-rear direction relative to the tool body, a detecting mechanism configured to detect pressing of a tool accessory against a workpiece, and a control part configured to control driving of the motor based on a detection result of the detecting mechanism. The detecting mechanism includes a movable member that is provided in one of the tool body and the elastically-connected part and configured to be moved by relative movement of the other of the tool body and the elastically-connected part in the front-rear direction, and a detector that is provided in the one of the tool body and the elastically-connected part and configured to detect rearward pressing of the tool accessory by detecting movement of the movable member.

An impact tool includes a motor, a driving mechanism, and a vibration sensor. The driving mechanism is configured to perform a hammering operation of linearly driving a tool accessory along an impact-axis by power of the motor. The impact-axis extends in a front-rear direction of the impact tool. The vibration sensor is configured to detect vibrations. The vibration sensor is disposed such that the vibration sensor is capable of detecting vibrations of a first frequency among vibrations caused in the impact tool, and such that transmission of vibrations of a second frequency to the vibration sensor is suppressed. The vibrations of the first frequency result from the hammering operation. The second frequency is different from the first frequency.

A force-limiting and damping device has a body, a tapping element, a shock-absorbing element, and a limiting module. The body has a connecting segment and a holding segment. The tapping element is connected to the body to move relative to the connecting segment and has a mounting segment, a tapping segment, and a fixing segment. The mounting segment is movably connected to the connecting segment. The tapping segment is disposed on an end of the mounting segment below the connecting segment. The fixing segment is connected to the mounting segment and abuts the connecting segment. The shock-absorbing element is mounted on the mounting segment and abuts the connecting segment and the tapping segment. The limiting module is mounted between the body and the tapping element and has a force-limiting element mounted between the mounting segment and the connecting segment to provide a force-limiting reminder effect and a damping effect.

An impact tool includes a motor, a driving mechanism, a tool body, an elastically-connected part elastically connected to the tool body to be movable at least in a front-rear direction relative to the tool body, a detecting mechanism configured to detect pressing of a tool accessory against a workpiece, and a control part configured to control driving of the motor based on a detection result of the detecting mechanism. The detecting mechanism includes a movable member that is provided in one of the tool body and the elastically-connected part and configured to be moved by relative movement of the other of the tool body and the elastically-connected part in the front-rear direction, and a detector that is provided in the one of the tool body and the elastically-connected part and configured to detect rearward pressing of the tool accessory by detecting movement of the movable member.

An impact tool includes a tool-accessory holding part, a body and a first hammering member. The tool-accessory holding part has a through hole extending in a hammering-axis direction and is configured to hold the tool accessory inserted into the through hole to be movable in the hammering-axis direction. The body is connected to the tool-accessory holding part in the hammering-axis direction and has an internal space communicating with the through hole. The first hammering member is linearly movable in the hammering-axis direction and configured to drive the tool accessory in the hammering-axis direction by colliding with the tool accessory. The tool-accessory holding part and the body are connected in the hammering-axis direction via a first elastic element to be movable relative to each other. A second elastic element is interposed between the first hammering member and the body in a radial direction with respect to the hammering axis.

A hydraulic, pneumatic, gasoline, diesel, or electric tool may include a spindle that is adapted for rotational movement. A swing arm may be coupled to the spindle such that rotational motion of the spindle is transferred to the swing arm. The swing arm makes contact with a piston such that the rotational motion causes the piston to move along a linear path. The piston may interact with an energy storage medium when the swing arm moves the piston in the first direction, causing energy to be stored in the energy storage medium. As the swing arm continues to rotate, the swing arm may lose contact with the piston, thus allowing the energy storage medium to urge the piston in a second direction opposite the first direction to strike an anvil. The swing arm may be a multiple roller swing arm. The energy storage medium may be a compound spring assembly.

A striking tool restricting movement of an intermediate member toward a striker reliably prevents no-load strokes. A hammer drill includes a cylindrical tool holder holding a tip tool, a motor, a piston that reciprocate with rotation from the motor, a striker that reciprocate in cooperation with the piston, an intermediate member reciprocably accommodated in the tool holder between the striker and the tip tool and in contact with a rear end of the tip tool at a normal strike to indirectly transmit a strike from the striker to the tip tool, and at least two ring members that move in a front-rear direction accommodated in the tool holder at a front of the intermediate member between the tool holder and the intermediate member. At least one ring member is made of metal.

A hand-held power tool has a tool socket 2, a drive 5, 6 for driving the tool socket 2, and a housing 19 in which the drive 5, 6 is accommodated. A stationary part 14 of the drive 5 is connected by means of at least one detachable clamped connection 21 to at least one element 19, whereby the element 19 is the housing 19 or another stationary part of the drive 5, 6. The clamped connection 21 has a cylindrical pocket 22 in the one stationary part 14, a bushing 27 that is made of plastic and that is inserted into the cylindrical pocket 22, and it has a screw 30 that is screwed into the bushing 27.

A hammer drive mechanism for a hammer strike mechanism of a hammer drill is provided including: a drive shaft capable of being rotationally driven by a motor, a rod capable of reciprocatingly driving a piston, and a conversion mechanism that converts the rotary movement of the drive shaft into a reciprocating movement of the rod. The drive shaft comprises a first part connected to the conversion mechanism and a second part capable of being rotationally driven by a motor. The second part connects to the first part via at least one dampener such that rotary movement of the second part is transferred to the first part via the at least one dampener.
