- the power operated impact tool illustrated in FIG. 1 incorporates an impact clutch according to the present invention and comprises a rear housing 2% having a handle portion 21 and a front housing 22.
- the front housing 22 encloses the impact clutch proper and is proinvention will beice vided with a central opening 23 at its forward end through which an anvil member 25 protrudes.
- the anvil member 25 is supported by a ball bearing 24 carried inside of and by the front housing 22.
- a ring seal 26 is provided around the opening 23 and tightens against the anvil member 25.
- a reversible rotary motor preferably as shown a pneumatic motor including a rotor or driving member 29 carrying radial vanes or blades 3i slidably supported within suitable grooves formed in the rotor.
- a pneumatic motor including a rotor or driving member 29 carrying radial vanes or blades 3i slidably supported within suitable grooves formed in the rotor.
- the driving member is driven by compressed air admitted to the motor in a conventional manner, preferably through the handle portion 21 and under control of a trigger valve, not shown, and the usual reversing valve 28.
- the constructional features of the motor per se form no part of the present invention and may be carried out in any suitable conventional manner.
- the driving member 253 has an axial bore 31 therethrough and is supported in the rear housing 2t) at its opposite ends by ball bearings 32 and 33.
- the forward end of the driving member 29 extends through the ball bearing 32 and is formed with parallel splines 34, FIG. 4, on its protruding mantle portion.
- the front end of the anvil member 25 carries a polygonal end portion 35 for receiving and carrying various removable tools, such as a socket wrench, not shown, which fits on the end portion 35'.
- the anvil member 25 forms a cam portion 35 of substantially cylindrical configuration but provided with a pair of axially extending spaced apart cam ridges 39 and 4d.
- the cam ridges 39, dill are provided with radially disposed opposite impact receiving faces 41 and 42, respectively, of which one, 41, is turned to receive impacts in clockwise direction, when looking from the rear housing 20 forwardly, while the other, is turned to receive impacts in counterclockwise direction.
- the faces 41, 42 are arcuate and formed by an axial partially cylindrical recess 43 formed in the cam portion 38 along an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the anvil member 25. At its rearmost portion the anvil member 25 forms a slightly reduced cylindrical bearing portion 44.
- a hammer mass 4-5 is arranged coaxially around the anvil member 25 and extends from the collar portion 36 thereof to the rear.
- the hammer mass 45 is journalled by means of cylindrical bearing portions 46 and 47 on the collar 36 and the cylindrical bearing portion 44, respectively, for relative rotation with respect to the anvil member 25.
- the hammer mass 45 preferably is of oval shape and is provided with a central bore 48 therein surrounding the cam portion 38 and allowing free rotation of the cam portion 3% and the cam ridges 39, 4d in the bore 43.
- the rear portion of the hammer mass 45 is supported on the protruding end of the driving member 29.
- the bore 51 is provided with longitudinally extending grooves 52 which receive the splines 34 of the driving member 29.
- the grooves 52 are somewhat broader in circumferential direction than the corresponding splines 34, whereby a slight circumferential play or lost motion is created in the driving connection between the driving member 29 and the hammer mass 45 for a purpose to be explained further on.
- An axial bore having a radius equal to the radius of the recess 43 of the anvil member 25 extends in parallel relation with the axis of the bore 48 and forms a partially cylindrical recess 53 in the hammer mass which recess 53 faces the cam portion 38 of the anvil member.
- the recess 53 receives pivotally therein an impact transmitting dog 54 which is journalled in said recess by means of a partially cylindrical rear bearing portion 55 thereon.
- the main portion of the impact dog 54 extending over the rear end of the anvil member 25 has a crescent shaped cross section and the dog 54- faces the cam portion 38 with the concave recess 56 defining the shorter arc of the crescent shaped cross section.
- the concave recess 56 merges into the rear bearing portion 55 by a pair of spaced apart edges 57.
- the concave recess 56 is provided in order to enable the impact dog 54 to rotate past and ride over the cam ridges 59, 45.
- the rear portion 53 of the impact dog 54 is fully cylindrical and is journalled in a corresponding fully cylindrical rear part of the bore defining the recess 53. Adjacent and at opposite sides of the impact dog 54 the rear face of the hammer mass 45 forms abutments 59, FIG. 4-. On the rear portion 53 of the impact dog 54 there are provided corresponding angularly offset abutments 6t) cooperating with the abutments and defining the maximum swing of the impact dog 54 in both directions.
- the rear portion 58 has a forwardly directed surface 61 which has formed thereon an axially and forwardly protruding pin 62 adjacent the periphery of the rear portion 53 and lying in the plane of symmetry of the concave recessed portion 56 of the impact dog 54.
- the rear end of the hammer mass 45 rests against the inner ring of the ball bearing 32 while the impact dog 54 is kept in place axially between the outer ring of the ball bearing 32 and an end surface 63 provided in the hammer mass 45.
- the rotor or driving member 29 carries at its splined end a pair of diametrically opposed projections 64, FIG. 10, each aligned with one of the splines 3
- an elongated torsion spring 66 having a rectangular cross section and being bent in hair pin fashion.
- the ends of the torsion spring 66 are bent at right angles and form shanks 67 and 68 extending in a transverse plane with respect to the axis of the spring 66 with the longer sides of the rectangular cross section of the shanks 67, 68 in parallel relation to said plane.
- the arrangement of the spring 66 is such that when the spring 66 is inserted in the axial bore 31 the shanks 67, 63 will protrude radially between the rear face 50 of the anvil member 25 and the forward end of the driving member 25, the shanks 67, 68 extending alongside each other and embracing under a certain precompression or twisting of the torsion spring 66 opposed abutments on one of the projections 64 on the driving member 29 and diametrically opposed portions or abutments of the pin 62 on the impact dog 54, FIG. 10.
- Such angularly offset position of the pin 62 is defined by the driving engagement between the splines 34 and the grooves 52 in the hammer mass and causes the impact dog to occupy the driving position 1 of FIG. 7 with the trailing edge 57 of the impact dog 54 inside of the cylindrical central bore 48 and the leading edge 57 outside of said bore 48.
- the impact dog 54 and the anvil member 25 will remain in engagement so that the bolt is rotated constantly until it is run down and the resistance to rotation increases above some predetermined value.
- the driving member 29 now quickly accelerates the hammer mass 45 by rotating it around the now stationary anvil member 25 until the mantle surface of the concave recess 56 and the trailing edge 57 of the impact dog forcefully run against the cam ridge of the cam portion 38, FIG. 9.
- the pin 62 together with the impact dog 54 is now pivoted in a manner to bring the leading edge 57 of the impact dog 54 inside of the cylindrical central bore 48 while the trailing edge 57 is pivoted and accelerated radially away from the ridge 40, whereupon at the next moment the hammer mass delivers an impact against the recessed portion 43 of the cam ridge 59 by means of the rear bearing portion adjacent the leading edge 5'7 of the impact dog 54-, FIG. 3.
- the hammer mass 45 having delivered by means of the dog 54 a rotational blow to the anvil member 25, continues now rotation of the bolt to be tightened until, again, the cammmg force exerted by the cam ridge 39 on the impact dog 54 overcomes the force of the torsion spring 66 exerted by its shanks 68, whereupon the impact dog again overrides the cam ridge 39 and repeats the impact cycle.
- the position of the impact dog 54 in FIG. 9 may also be occupied during running down of the nut.
- the first impact which with increased resistance to rotation follows'upon such drive position will obviously be a weak one because of the angular nearness of the impact position.
- the powerful blow received by the portions of the impact dog adjacent the trailing edge 57 after full acceleration from the position of FIG. 6 or FIG. 7 to the position of FIG. 9 is prevented from rocking the impact dog 54 and its pin 62 too far against the action of the spring shank 63 by s-,i 79,21 e
- the driving member 29 when driving in the reverse direction or the direction of the arrow moves by means of the projection 64 and the spring shanks 67, 63 the pin 62 to an angular position offset in the direction of rotation with respect to the central plane through the axis of rotation of the hammer mass 45 and the pivotal axis of the impact dog 54-.
- the pin 62 has now to counteract the spring action of the shank 67 of the torsion spring 56 during the rocking movement of the impact dog 54 into clutching or impact position as well as during overriding of the cam ridge 46.
- the displacement of the pin 62 in the direction of rotation is attained by the circumferential play or lost motion in the drive connection between the splines 34 and the broad grooves 52, the width of which is calculated to give a play resulting in a suitable angle of attack of. the trailing edge portions of the impact dog and movement of the leading edge to a position outside of the central bore &8.
- the diametrically opposed double arrangement of the projections 64 is provided for creating alternative positions during assembly of the impact clutch mechanism parts.
- the spring 66 may alternatively be mounted in the hole 69 of the anvil member 25.
- a tube not shown, into which the spring 66 may be inserted.
