A surgical tool may move a saw blade in a sagittal plane. The saw blade has a distal blade end with teeth. The surgical tool comprises a handpiece body and a carrier operatively attached to the handpiece body. The carrier is configured for oscillating movement about a pivot axis. A retainer is operatively attached to the carrier for concurrent movement and releasably secures the saw blade in the sagittal plane relative to the handpiece body. An actuator is coupled to the handpiece body to selectively oscillate the carrier relative to the handpiece body such that the retainer and the saw blade pivot back and forth about the pivot axis within the sagittal plane. An ultrasonic transducer is operatively attached to the handpiece body to selectively generate ultrasonic energy to resonate the saw blade such that the teeth at the distal blade end reciprocate proximally and distally within the sagittal plane.

A reciprocating cutting tool is provided, wherein the tool has a reciprocating saw mode and a jig saw mode. The tool includes a reciprocating mechanism; an actuating mechanism and a cutter-lifting mechanism. The reciprocating mechanism includes a reciprocating rod and the cutter-lifting mechanism includes an actuating member and a pushing member. The actuating member includes a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion when the reciprocating rod is driven to perform a reciprocating motion, the reciprocating rod drives the pushing member to deflect close to the first engaging portion or second engaging portion; when the first engaging portion or the second engaging portion is driven to move close to the pushing member, the first engaging portion or second engaging portion pushes the pushing member towards the side which the first engaging portion or the second engaging portion deflects to force the reciprocating rod to implement a cutter-lifting motion.

A jigsaw generally includes a housing containing a motor activated by a trigger assembly. A single control member is connected to the housing and configured to be accessible by a user. A reciprocating shaft moves at a reciprocation speed and at a magnitude of orbital motion when the trigger assembly is in a retracted condition. The single control member is operable to be positioned among a plurality of positions. Each of the positions corresponds to a predetermined combination of values of the reciprocation speed and the magnitude of the orbital motion.

A reciprocating cutting tool switches stably between the on and off states of orbital action or between the degrees of orbital action. The reciprocating cutting tool includes a rod-like slider reciprocable in a front-rear direction, a blade holder at the front end of the slider, an orbital unit that causes the blade holder to perform orbital action vertically in response to reciprocation of the slider, and an orbital switcher that switches between orbital modes operable by the orbital unit. The orbital switcher includes a lever body extending laterally. The lever body includes a first flat surface to support the slider indirectly. The first support flat surface includes a first portion frontward from a lateral central axis of the lever body and a second portion rearward from the central axis.

It is an object of the invention to provide a technique for reducing vibration by counter weights which smoothly operate without linearly reciprocating, in a reciprocating power tool. The reciprocating power tool has first and second bevel gears 123, 147 which are opposed to each other on either side of a pinion 119 and rotationally driven in opposite directions at the same reduction ratio by the pinion 119. Further, the reciprocating power tool has a slider 107 which is caused to linearly reciprocate in a longitudinal direction of a tool bit 111 by a crank 129. The first and second bevel gears 123, 147 are provided with first and second counter weights 143, 145 in positions displaced from their rotation axes, respectively. When the first counter weight 143 and the second counter weight 145 revolve, components of the revolving motion in the longitudinal direction of the tool bit oppositely move with respect to linear motion of the slider 107, and the first counter weight 143 and the second counter weight 145 move in the same phase in the longitudinal direction of the tool bit 111 and are disposed on opposite sides of the rotation axis and at the same distance from the rotation axis in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the tool bit 111.

A reciprocating tool includes a housing, a first tubular member, a slider, a second tubular member and a lock member. The first tubular member is pivotable around a first axis and has a single first protrusion protruding radially inward. The second tubular member is disposed in the first tubular member, is coupled to a first end portion of the slider to be pivotable around a second axis, and has a single second protrusion protruding radially outward. The second tubular member has a protruding portion configured to allow the lock member to move from a lock position to an unlock position. The single first protrusion is configured to engage with the single second protrusion and cause the second tubular member to pivot when the first tubular member pivots. The single second protrusion is provided on a portion of the second tubular member other than the protruding portion.

A reciprocating tool includes a housing, a support body, a slider, a motor, a driving mechanism, a first biasing member, a manipulation member and a first change mechanism. The housing has a first axis that defines a front-rear direction of the reciprocating tool. The support body is supported within the housing. The slider is supported by the support body to be linearly movable. The driving mechanism is operably coupled to the slider and configured to reciprocally move the slider relative to the support body using power of the motor. The first change mechanism is operably coupled to the manipulation member and configured to selectively enable and disable the first biasing member to bias the slider in response to manipulation of the manipulation member. When biasing of the slider by the first biasing member is enabled by the first change mechanism, the first biasing member biases the slider downward.

A reciprocating saw includes a housing defining a motor housing portion, and a motor positioned in the motor housing portion, the motor having a motor output shaft defining a rotational axis, and a motor activation switch within the motor housing portion and adjacent the motor. The reciprocating saw also includes a transmission is positioned downstream of the motor and has a sawbar connectable to a saw blade. The transmission converts a rotational input provided by the motor shaft to a reciprocating output of the sawbar along a reciprocating axis that is either coaxial or parallel with the rotational axis.

A reciprocating saw includes a housing; a functional assembly including a motor supported by the housing; a sliding rod for connecting and driving the saw blade; a transmission mechanism connecting the motor and the sliding rod for driving the sliding rod to reciprocate. The reciprocating saw further includes a connecting device configured to rotatably connect the functional assembly to the housing and a buffer arranged between the functional component and the housing.

A reciprocating saw includes a casing, a power assembly, a transmission assembly, a reciprocating assembly, a swing assembly, and a balance weight. The transmission assembly includes a first transmission member that is capable of being driven by the power assembly to rotate around a first axis. The swing assembly includes a floating support member configured to drive the reciprocating assembly to perform an orbital motion. The first transmission member is provided with a cam surface configured to be in contact with the floating support member to drive the floating support member to move in an up-and-down direction parallel to the first axis. The balance weight is provided with an escape opening, and the escape opening is disposed on a path on which the floating support member moves in the up-and-down direction.
