Hook structure of power tool

Abstract

The present invention to provide a hook structure of a power tool in which a hook rendered retractable when not in use and protrusible at either side of the power tool when in use is realized with a simple configuration. In a housing of a power tool is formed a hook-receiving portion, with openings facing leftward and rightward, through which a substantially U-shaped hook having a left hook leg and a right hook leg is movable among a left protruding position in which the left hook leg protrudes leftward from the hook-receiving portion, a right protruding position in which the right hook leg protrudes rightward from the hook-receiving portion, and an accommodating position in which the left and right hook legs are both accommodated in the hook-receiving portion. Also provided in the housing is a retaining mechanism by which the hook is retainable in one of the positions of the left protruding position, right protruding position, and accommodating position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a hook structure of an electric tool provided on the electric tool for hanging. Background technique [0002] In some cases, the power tool is provided with a hook to be hung on a hook provided on the wall or a worker's belt or the like. If the hook is always in a protruding state, it will hinder the work. Therefore, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses the following structure: the housing of the electric tool is provided with an accommodating portion for the hook, and the hook can be accommodated when not in use. in the container. [0003] On the other hand, when the worker hangs on the belt, it is desirable to be able to hang it on the left and right for ease of use. Patent Document 2 discloses the following hook device: centered on a square-section shaft provided on the handle, The hook arms having hooks on the left and right are provided slidably and can be fixed at both ends of the sliding range.

Problems solved by technology

[0006] In this way, for the convenience of use, the accommodation of the hook when not in use and the use on both sides are all necessary, but in the accommodation structure of Patent Document 1, it is only conceived from one use position (pull-out position) to the accommodation. It is structurally difficult to realize the situation of accommodating from two use positions on both sides.

In addition, the hook arm of Patent Document 2 is also a simple structure that can be slidably connected by a square cross-section shaft. Therefore, although a hook accommodating portion is provided on the handle and can be accommodated from one side, it cannot be accommodated from both sides. accommodate

Assuming that if the hook arm can be fixed at the middle position, the length in the sliding direction of the hook arm needs to be large in order to ensure that the left and right sides are shared, and the both ends of the hook arm protrude to the left and right, and as a result, the work will still be hindered.
