Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power tool having one or more sound damping members which reduce sound and/or vibration from one or more parts of a power tool. The sound damping member can reduce sound and/or vibration from static or dynamic parts of a power tool. The sound damping member can reduce noise and/or vibration from one or more rotating or moving parts of a power tool and its housing or internal structure. Methods, means, controls, systems and practices for reducing or eliminating undesired sound from a power tool are disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An impact driver, comprising: a housing; a motor housed in the housing; a drive system including a hammer and an anvil; a bit holder assembly; and a sound damping material which reduces sound produced by the impact driver, wherein the sound damping material is disposed between an innermost wall of the housing and the drive system. 2. The impact driver of claim 1 , wherein the sound damping material is on the anvil. 3. The impact driver of claim 1 , wherein the sound damping material is on the hammer. 4. The impact driver of claim 1 , wherein the sound damping material is adjacent to the anvil. 5. The impact driver of claim 1 , wherein the sound damping material is adjacent to the hammer. 6. The impact driver of claim 1 , wherein the sound damping material is on the innermost wall of the housing. 7. The impact driver of claim 1 , wherein the sound damping material is a sound damping tape. 8. The impact driver of claim 1 , wherein the sound damping material is configured to absorb vibration from one or more parts of the impact driver. 9. An impact driver, comprising: a housing; a motor housed in the housing; a drive system including a hammer and an anvil; a bit holder assembly; and a sound damping material that is configured to absorb vibration from one or more parts of the impact driver, wherein the sound damping material is disposed between an innermost wall of the housing and the drive system. 10. The impact driver of claim 9 , wherein the sound damping material is on the anvil. 11. The impact driver of claim 10 , wherein the sound damping material is on the hammer. 12. The impact driver of claim 9 , wherein the sound damping material is on the hammer. 13. The impact driver of claim 9 , wherein the sound damping material is adjacent to the anvil. 14. The impact driver of claim 13 , wherein the sound damping material is adjacent to the hammer. 15. The impact driver of claim 9 , wherein the sound damping material is adjacent to the hammer. 16. The impact driver of claim 9 , wherein the sound damping material is on the innermost wall of the housing. 17. The impact driver of claim 9 , wherein the sound damping material is a sound damping tape. 18. An impact driver comprising: a housing; a motor housed in the housing; a drive system including a hammer and an anvil; a bit holder assembly; and a sound damping material which reduces sound produced by the impact driver, the sound damping material disposed on at least one of the hammer and the anvil. 19. The impact driver of claim 18 , further comprising sound damping material disposed on an inside of the housing. 20. The impact driver of claim 18 , wherein the sound damping material is configured to absorb vibration from one or more parts of the impact driver.
