タCが回転する。Reference numeral 21 denotes a clap case that covers the clutch section, and a thrust bearing 22. A torque spring 24 is biased through spring seats 23, 6, 23/1-2. 251. Torque tensioner (no. 1) screwed onto the comb, socket, and s. 2.6 is: 7. with a ring fitted on its left end. , Iratch case: Several pins 27 in the clutch case 21 press the spring I9!!'237 as the nut moves. 28 is a clutch case. 521 (a knob that fits and interposes a knob 29 between it, is fixed to the clutch case 21 with a steel ball 30, and a bushing 31 is press-fitted to the tip; book; 31 is fitted with a retaining ring 32. 33 is the knob 2"
8 is a retaining ring, 34 is a solid ring for each camshaft, and 35 is a steel ball for stopping the bit 1 from being removed. Bit 1
When the screw is pressed against the screw, the claw 14a of the claw holder and the claw 10a of the hammer ring 10 now engage. At this time, the limit switch 3 is activated by the movement of the switch rod 2, and the motor C is rotated.

0a。As shown in FIG. 5, when the screw (orally speaking) reaches a certain l·lux, bit 1. Bit holder 11 and claw holder 1
4 stops, but the motor C continues to rotate, so the pivoting force is transmitted through the reducer section B.
The transmission is transmitted to the shaft 7, which also rotates the ring cam 8, causing the steel ball 9 to climb the cam crest 8a of the ring cam 8, and the merging 10 moves in the direction of arrow a. Push back 14. At this time, 20 steel balls
is moved by the pressure of the lock spring 19 that presses the lock cam 17, and enters the hole of the pawl receiver 14. At this time, the switch 2d returns to its original position and the limit switch 3 is stopped. As shown in FIG. 6, the nozzle ring 10 does not climb the cam ridge 8a and moves in the direction indicated by the arrow. On the other hand, nail receiver 14 nails, Tlj 2
Since it is not possible to return to the original position due to the action of claw 1,
0a.

山8aに沿って移動させる。The seventh chest shows the state in which the steel ball 9 has climbed the cam mountain 8a of the ring cam 8, but the ring cam 8 and the cam l11
1+7 are meshed with each other with some play in the rotational direction, and when the camshaft 7 rotates in the direction of arrow C, the surface 7a of the camshaft 7 and the surface 8b of the ring cam 6 come into contact, exerting force on the steel ball 9. It is moved along the mountain 8a.

なくなる。At the moment when the steel ball 9 has finished climbing the mountain 8a, the steel ball 9 is now in the trench.
1. The rotational force applied to the ball 9 is released, and the ring cam 8 is swung in the direction of arrow d by the reaction force given by the inertia force. On the other hand, the paulownia ball 9 tries to roll in the direction of the arrow e in the opposite direction to the ring cam 8, and the steel ball 9 cannot be stopped at the top dead center position F.
このため、クラッチの中立点停止が起こらなくなるので
ある。This prevents the clutch from stopping at the neutral point.

れる。Next, a second example of I/C will be shown. In FIG. 8, reference numeral 36 denotes a spring stretched between the cam shaft 7 and the ring cam 8. When tightening the screw, the spring 36 is pulled so that the faces a and 8b come into contact with each other, and the steel ball 9 is held at the position where the cam ridge 8a is shown by the dashed line. cam mountain 8a
This movement is carried out, but the moment it is exceeded, the elastic force of the spring 36 returns it to its original position, and the steel ball 9 is operated so as to be removed from the top of the cam crest. This prevents the clutch from stopping at the neutral point.

態の一!、1になる。In the conventional example shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the camshaft 7' has a cam ridge 8'a on its circumferential surface and moves the steel ball 9' in the radial direction. When the steel ball white' reaches the top of the cam ridge 8a, it moves away from the drive source at a point q, which is integrated with the cam ridge 8'a. A state in which the steel ball 9' is caught between the ring 1d! , becomes 1.
この為中立点停止が起こるのである。For this reason, a neutral point stop occurs.

“ものがある。Effects of the Invention As described above, the conventional camshaft is divided into a ring-shaped cam having cam ridges in the axial direction and a shaft that holds this, and the ring-shaped cam and the shaft are provided with a margin in the direction of rotation. interlocking,
Or, by applying the elastic force of a spring between the two, we can eliminate the need to stop at the neutral point of a torque-responsive clutch that disengages according to the torque when tightening a screw, and reduce the use of unreliable power tools. There is something about it that increases its practical effectiveness.
