Abstract

An electric oscillating tool which actuates a tool around a spindle is provided. The electric oscillating tool comprises a motor, the spindle which is driven by the motor, and a driving transmission member which transmits a rotational output of the motor to the spindle. The driving transmission member includes an eccentric moving member, a driven arm, a spindle connecting arm, and a pin which connects the driven arm and the spindle connecting arm in a relatively rotatable manner. The eccentric moving member comprises an eccentric shaft which moves eccentrically around a rotational shaft of the motor, a first bearing, and a second bearing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A power tool which actuates a tool around a predetermined axis, comprising: a motor; a driving shaft which is driven by the motor; and a driving transmission member which transmits a rotation output of the motor to the driving shaft, wherein the driving transmission member includes (i) an eccentric moving member which moves eccentrically around a rotational shaft of the motor, (ii) a first member to which a movement of the eccentric moving member is transmitted, (iii) a second member which is a different and separate member from the first member, one side of the second member being fixed to the driving shaft and the second member rotating together with the driving shaft around an axial direction of the driving shaft, and (iv) a pivot portion which connects the first member and another side of the second member such that the second member rotates around the axial direction of the driving shaft when the first member is moved by the movement of the eccentric moving member, wherein the eccentric moving member includes an eccentric portion which is arranged to be offset to the center of the rotational shaft, and two bearings which are arranged on a periphery of the eccentric portion, wherein the first member includes two arms which face each other, each of the two arms contacts with respective peripheries of the two bearings simultaneously, and wherein the two bearings are arranged in line in the axial direction of the rotational shaft.

2. The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the pivot portion and the eccentric moving member are arranged to be equally distant from the driving shaft in the axial direction of the rotational shaft.

3. The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein a tool attached shaft to which the tool is attached is arranged coaxially to the driving shaft.

4. The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the pivot portion includes a lubricant holding portion which holds lubricant for lubricating the first member and the second member during rotation.

5. The power tool according to claim 1 , wherein the pivot portion includes an elongate member which is arranged parallel to the driving shaft.
