Electric tool
A rechargeable grinder includes a brushless motor, a main body housing configured to accommodate the brushless motor, a main switch and a micro switch configured to distribute power to the brushless motor, and a switch lever capable of moving with respect to the main switch and the micro switch, wherein a lock off lever capable of operating the micro switch in association with movement of the switch lever toward a switch is provided so as to be movable between a lock release position in which the micro switch can be operated and a lock position in which the micro switch cannot be operated.
1. An electric tool comprising;
a motor;
a housing configured to accommodate the motor;
a switch configured to distribute power to the motor; and
an operating member configured to move with respect to the switch, wherein
the operating member is provided with a switch operating portion capable of operating the switch in association with a movement of the operating member toward the switch so as to be movable between a position where the switch can be operated and a position where the switch cannot be operated, wherein the switch operating portion is provided with a projection configured to contact and operate the switch by the movement of the operating member at a lock release position at one side end of the projection.
2. The electric tool according to claim 1 , wherein the switch operating portion is a lock-off member located in a lock position where the movement of the operating member is restricted in a normal state, and is movable to the lock release position where the restriction of movement of the operating member is released, and the lock position corresponds to a position where the switch cannot be operated and the lock release position corresponds to a position where the switch can be operated.
3. The electric tool according to claim 2 , wherein the lock-off member is rotatably attached to the operating member by a supporting pin, and in the lock position, takes a rotating posture in which one end side is in proximity to the housing side to restrict the movement of the operating member, and the other end side penetrates through the operating member and projects therefrom, and in the lock release position, the one end side moves away from the housing side by the operation of the other end side, whereby the movement restriction of the operating member is released.
4. The electric tool according to claim 3 , wherein the lock-off member is rotationally biased to the lock position by a torsion spring.
5. The electric tool according to claim 3 , wherein the lock-off member is provided with a projection capable of operating the switch by the movement of the operating member at the lock release position at one end side thereof.
6. The electric tool according to claim 2 , wherein the operating member is pivotably coupled by a supporting point provided at one end which is retained by the housing, and the switch becomes operable by a push-in operation toward the housing.
7. An electric tool comprising:
a motor;
a housing configured to accommodate the motor;
a switch configured to distribute power to the motor; and
an operating member being configured to pivot about a pivotal movement supporting point coupled to the housing; and
a lock-off member provided so as to be movable toward the operating member,
wherein:
the switch is arranged between the pivotal movement supporting point and the lock-off member; and
the lock-off member is provided with a projection configured to contact and operate the switch by the movement of the operating member at a lock release position at one side end of the projection.
8. The electric tool according to claim 7 , wherein the lock-off member is located in a lock position where the movement of the operating member is restricted in a normal state, and is movable to the lock release position where the restriction of movement of the operating member is released, and the lock position corresponds to a position where the switch cannot be operated and the lock release position corresponds to a position where the switch can be operated.
9. The electric tool according to claim 8 , wherein the lock-off member is rotatably attached to the operating member by a supporting pin, and in the lock position, takes a rotating posture in which one end side is in proximity to the housing side to restrict the movement of the operating member, and the other end side penetrates through the operating member and projects therefrom, and in the lock release position, the one end side moves away from the housing side by the operation of the other end side, whereby the movement restriction of the operating member is released.
10. The electric tool according to claim 9 , wherein the lock-off member is rotationally biased to a lock position by the torsion spring.
11. An electric tool comprising:
a motor;
a housing configured to accommodate the motor;
a first switch and a second switch accommodated in the housing and configured to distribute power to the motor; and
an operating member configured to operate the first switch and the second switch, and includes a switch lever, wherein the switch lever is configured to operate the first switch and not the second switch.
12. The electric tool according to claim 11 , wherein the operating member includes a lock-off member located at a lock position in which the movement of the operating member is restricted in a normal state, and is capable of moving to a lock release position where the restriction of movement of the operating member is released, and the lock-off member is configured to operate the second switch at the lock release position.
13. The electric tool according to claim 12 , wherein the lock-off member is rotatably attached to the operating member by a supporting pin, and in the lock position, takes a rotating posture in which one end side is in proximity to the housing side to restrict the movement of the operating member, and the other end side penetrates through the operating member and projects therefrom, and in the lock release position, the one end side moves away from the housing side by the operation of the other end side, whereby the movement restriction of the operating member is released.
14. The electric tool according to claim 13 , wherein the lock-off member is rotationally biased to the lock position by a torsion spring.
15. The electric tool according to claim 13 , wherein the lock-off member is provided with a projection configured to operate the second switch by the movement of the operating member at the lock release position at one end side thereof.
16. The electric tool according to claim 12 , wherein the operating member is pivotably coupled by a supporting point provided at one end being retained by the housing, and the first switch becomes operable by a push-in operation toward the housing.
