Description
\ \1 @3531 CQDESOUTTER 7 ROTARY TOOL DEVICE Filed NOV. 22, 1934 Patented Dec. 17, 1935 ROTARY TOOL DEVICE Charles Desontter, London, England Application November 22, 1934, Serial No. 754,366 In Great Britain October 22, 1934 1 Claims. (01. 172-36) This invention relates to hand applied rotary tool devices incorporating an electric motor and particularly, although not exclusively, to such devices suitable for rotary drilling purposes.
Such rotary tool devices according to the invention include a single handle (or pistol-grip) projecting at a desired angle transversely to the axis of the motor and are characterized by the fact that a brush of the said motor extends longitudinally within the said transverse handle.
Such an arrangement enables brushes of comparatively great length to be accommodated conveniently whilst maintaining the main casing of the tool device of short length and of small radial dimensions, with the result that the tool is partic-' ularly efficient and robust whilst nevertheless being of light weight and consequently can be easily manipulated. According to a further feature of the invention the electric motor incorporated in the device has a magnetic field element of the so-called "horseshoe type, and the arrangement is such that the yoke portion of this field element, which yoke portion may incidentally carry field windings, is dis- 25. posed at the opposite side of the axis of the motor to that occupied by the transversely extending handle portion or pistol grip, for the purpose of providing suflicient space for the acconmiodation of a further brush which is oppositely disposed with respect to the brush contained within the said'pistol-grip handle portion. This arrangement enables the further brush also to be of comparatively great length without requiring any radial extension of the casing beyond that necessary to conveniently accommodate the magnetic system of the motor. Further the arrangement also provides sufficient spacefor the accommodation of on-and-oif switch mechanism which includes manually operable means,. whereby the user of the tool can control the motor. Further features of the invention will appear during the course of the description now to be given with reference to the accompanying drawing, which drawing shows by way of example a device is indicated at 4 and is adapted to enclose an electric "motor consisting of, a fleld magnet system 5 of the so-called horse-shoe type, which includes a yoke portion 6 upon which latter is mounted field windings carried by a bobbin I. The motor also includes an armature element 4 carried upon a shaft 9 which is mounted in bearings l0 and II.
The outer ring member of the bearing ll is fixed to a plate l2 which divides the main casing 4 from a removable front portion or nose piece ii of the tool device.
Within the compartment bounded by the inner walls of the nose piece 13 and the intermediate i plate I2, there is accommodated a gear wheel l4 '5 which is fixed to a chuck shaft IE but is mounted in bearings l6 and I1 carried by the nose piece I3 and the intermediate plate "respectively, said chuck shaft i5 having mounted at its outer end a chuck it for holding drilling or other tools. 20 The hearing it is closed at the front by means of a detachable plug I 9.
The gear wheel I4 is adaptedto co-operate with a correspondingly-toothed portion .24 provided at the end of the motor shaft 9 for the pur- 35 pose-of transmitting the torque from the said shaft 9 to chuck shaft l5 and consequently to a tool held in chuck l8.
Integral with the main casing 4 there is provided the forward portionof a transversely extending handle 2| which constitutes what may be termed a pistol-grip". This handle portion'2l provides accommodation with a tube 22 of insulating material, this tube itself carrying a'metal tube 23 within which is slidably fitted a brush 24 which is 35 adapted to co-operate with a commutator 25 of the electric motor. The end of the brush 24 is held in contact with the commutator 25 by means of a spring 26, the outer end of which abuts against a detachable cap 21 formed of insulating material. It will be obvious that by locating the brush 24 in the pistol-grip handle of the device said brush can be of comparatively great length, thus assuring highly efficient functioning of the 8 motor and reducing the necessity of the replacement of brushes through wear, to a minimum.
It will be observed upon reference to Figs. 1 and '3 that the yoke portion 6 of the magnetic field system 5 is disposed at the opposite side of the axis of the motor to that occupied by the pistol-grip handle portion of the device, with the result that there is provided adjacent the bobbin 1 suflicient space for the accommodation of an on-and-oif switch mechanism located in a compartment indicated at 28 and operable by means of a "button device 28". In addition the arrangement also provides space for the accommodation of a further brush 24' and associated parts 22'-23-26' and 21', and it should be noted that the brush 24' is also of comparatively great length and is conveniently accommodated without requiring any radial extension of the main casing 4 beyond that necessary for the accommodation of the field magnet system.
The main casing and the pistol-grip are completed by a removable rear portion 29 which is secured .to the main casing by means of a screw 30.
The handle portion encloses: a terminal block 3| to which conducting leads 32 are adapted to be coupled for connecting the device to the source of electric supply. Further connections extend from said terminal block to the brushes 24 and 24', the circuit also including the "on-and-off switch device aforesaid. The leads 32 are conducted from the handle by way of a short tubular member 33.
The forward portion of the motor shaft 9 carries a fan wheel 34 which is adapted to rotate with the shaft and as a result of such rotation draw cooling air in through a passageway 35 formed in the pistol-grip handle portion, and opening at 31 in the base or bottom of the handle to the exterior by way of the tubular member 33 and the space between this tubular member and the rear portion 29. 38 is a further opening for the entry of air. Said cooling air is passed to the 7 main casing 4 and through the armature tunnel,
to be finally exhausted from the casing through a plurality of apertures 36 provided in spaced apart relationship around the circumference of the said casing 4. It will be appreciated that the drawing-in of cool air through the handle portion will at all times maintain said handle portion in a cool condition and thus facilitate the convenient manipulation of the device.
It is to be understood that in some cases the passageway 35 in the pistol-grip handle portion of the device may be provided with air filter means to prevent dust and other foreign matter entering the casing 4, as a result of the suction exerted by the fan wheel 3!.
The invention is not limited to the precise forms or details of construction described as these may be varied to suit particular cases within the scope of the appended claims.
