Saber saw tool
The present invention relates to a reciprocating saw tool ( 10 ) having a motor drive ( 17 ) with a reciprocating driver ( 21 ) for a tool ( 15 ) and having a mass equilibrating body ( 22 ). In addition, a device ( 20 ) is provided, which serves to convert a rotary movement of the motor drive ( 17 ) into a reciprocating movement of the reciprocating driver ( 21 ) along a first movement axis ( 41 ) and an opposite reciprocating movement of the mass equilibrating body ( 22 ) along a second movement axis ( 42 ). For improving the sawing performance, the mass equilibrating body ( 22 ) is guided at an angle α to the reciprocating driver ( 21 ) so that its movement axis ( 42 ) is constantly at an angle to the movement axis ( 41 ) of the reciprocating driver ( 21 ).
1. A reciprocating saw tool operable in an oscillating reciprocating mode and a purely reciprocating mode, the saw tool comprising a motor drive ( 17 ); reciprocating driver means ( 21 ) for a tool ( 15 ); a mass equilibrating body ( 22 ); a device for converting a rotary movement of the motor drive ( 17 ) into a reciprocating movement of the reciprocating driver means ( 21 ) along a first movement axis ( 41 ) and a reciprocating movement of the mass equilibrating body ( 22 ) in a direction opposite a direction of movement of the reciprocating driver means ( 21 ) and along a second movement axis ( 42 ) that extends at a constant angle α relative to the first movement axis ( 41 ) in the purely reciprocating mode, wherein the constant angle α is in a range between 2° and 30°; and means ( 30 ) for superimposing oscillating movement on the reciprocating driver means ( 21 ) for oscillating the reciprocating driver means ( 21 ) within an angle (αN–αP) lying in a range between 2° and 30°.
2. The reciprocating saw tool of claim 1 , further comprising a switchable oscillating device ( 30 ) for the reciprocating driver means ( 21 ), wherein the angle a between the mass equilibrating body ( 22 ) and the reciprocating driver means ( 21 ) varies, during a stroke cycle between the value αaN and αP.
3. The reciprocating saw tool of claim 1 , wherein the angle αis in a range between 3° and 15°.
