Abstract

A power tool includes a housing including: a body part having a substantially cylindrical shape and extends in a front-rear direction; and a handle part connected to the body part. The body part includes: a driving source; a power transmission mechanism part configured to transmit a driving force of the driving source; and a tip tool holding part to which the driving force of the driving source is transmitted from the power transmission mechanism part. The handle part includes a switch. A top part protruding from a surface of the handle part is formed on a side surface of the handle part along a longitudinal direction of the handle part. At least a portion of the top part is arranged at a position deviating rearwards from a center of the handle part in the front-rear direction.

Claims (19)

1. A power tool comprising:

a housing comprising:

a body part that has a substantially cylindrical shape and extends in a front-rear direction; and

a handle part that is connected to the body part,

wherein the body part comprises:

a driving source;

a power transmission mechanism part configured to transmit a driving force of the driving source; and

a tip tool holding part to which the driving force of the driving source is transmitted from the power transmission mechanism part,

wherein the handle part comprises a switch,

wherein the housing is formed by multilayer molding a hard layer of a synthetic resin and a soft layer softer than the hard layer,

wherein the hard layer on a side surface of the handle part is formed with a mold line for molding processing,

wherein the mold line has a divided portion and is arranged such that an entire shape thereof becomes a substantial W shape, when seen from a side surface, and

wherein one or two places of three places of upper, middle and lower portions of the handle part are formed with U-shaped mold lines that are parts of the W shape.

2. The power tool according to claim 1 ,

wherein the side surface of the handle part is formed with the substantially U-shaped mold line at one of the three places of the upper, middle and lower portions or at the upper and lower portions.

3. The power tool according to claim 2 ,

wherein the side surface of the handle part is formed with the substantially U-shaped mold line at the upper and middle portions or upper and lower portions of the three places of the upper, middle and lower portions.

4. The power tool according to claim 3 ,

wherein the side surface of the handle part is formed with the substantially U-shaped mold line at one of two or three places of the upper, middle and lower portions and with a substantially L-shaped mold line at the remaining place.
