Included are: a clamp configured to switch between a mounting state in which a tip tool is mounted and a releasing state in which the tip tool is removed; a clamp moving portion configured to move between a first position at which the clamp is in the mounting state and a second position at which the clamp is in the releasing state; a clamp urging portion configured to urge the clamp moving portion to the first position; a case accommodating at least a part of each of the clamp, the clamp moving portion, and the clamp urging portion; a retaining portion configured to retain the clamp moving portion at the second position; and a mounting operation portion configured to receive mounting operation for switching the clamp from the releasing state to the mounting state. When the mounting operation portion receives the mounting operation, the retaining portion cancels retaining of the clamp moving portion at the second position.

An electric trimmer includes: a base; and a trimmer main body configured capable of sliding movement in an axial direction of the base. The base includes a slit that extends in the axial direction and is open, and the base also includes a fixing releasing mechanism disposed so as to straddle both end portions of the slit. Operating the fixing releasing mechanism to reduce a distance between the both end portions of the slit enables clamping of the trimmer main body by the base to be performed. The fixing releasing mechanism is formed as a toggle mechanism that is configured by a combination of three support points and two links, and the fixing releasing mechanism has a shape which follows an outer peripheral surface of the base. Therefore, this electric trimmer includes high operability, strong impact resistance characteristics, and excellent maintenance properties.

A portable cutting machine is provided with a cutting machine main body, a surface plate rotatably supported by the cutting machine main body, a saw blade supported by the cutting machine main body rotatably around a first axis, and a lower guard supported by the cutting machine main body rotatably around a second axis. The first axis is located on one side of the surface plate. A part of the saw blade passes through an opening portion formed to penetrate through the surface plate and is exposed to the other side of the surface plate. The part of the saw blade exposed to the other side is covered by the lower guard. The first axis is parallel to the second axis. The first axis is located closer to a side of the surface plate than the second axis.

Portable cutting machine

A spinning reel comprises a reel body casing, a rotational frame member rotatably provided for the reel body casing, a spool shaft provided for the reel body casing to be movable in a rotation axis direction of the rotational frame member, a spool mounted to one end portion of the spool shaft, a handle lever operatively connected to the rotational frame member capable of rotating the same, an oscillator secured to another end portion of the spool shaft, an oscillator gear provided for the reel body casing to be rotated by the handle lever and a rotational member mounted to the oscillator gear to be rotatable. The rotational member is formed with a first projection engageable with a cam groove formed to an inner surface of the reel body casing and a second projection engageable with the oscillator.

A spinning reel for fishing comprises a reel body casing formed with a cam groove, a rotational frame mounted to the reel body casing to be rotatable about a rotational axis thereof, a spool shaft attached to the reel body casing so as to be movable in an axial direction parallel to the rotational direction of the rotational frame, a spool mounted to one end of the spool shaft, a handle lever coupled to the rotational frame to rotate the same, an oscillator mounted to the other end of the spool shaft, an oscillator gear supported by the reel body casing so as to be rotatable about a rotational shaft surrounded by the cam groove in accordance with an operation of the handle lever, and an interlock means provided with a first engaging member engaged with the cam groove and a second engaging member adapted to transfer a motion toward the oscillator. The interlock means is coupled to the oscillator gear and driven in association with the rotation of the oscillator gear such that the second engaging member is moved around the rotational shaft while carrying out a relative motion in a circumferential direction with respect to the oscillator gear.

Spinning reel

A centrifugal braking apparatus for a baitcasting reel comprises a spool, pivot shafts, brake levers, and a ring-shaped braking member. The spool is rotatably supported between both side plates of a reel main body. Each of the pivot shafts is disposed on the spool so as to be arranged apart from a rotation axis of the spool in a radius direction thereof and extended at right angles to a straight line parallel with the rotation axis of the spool. Each of the brake levers has a tip end portion and a root end portion that is pivotably supported by the pivot shaft so that the tip end portion of the brake lever is movable toward a standard plane, which includes a central axis of the pivot shaft and is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the spool, under a function of centrifugal force produced by rotation of the spool. The ring-shaped braking member is provided on the reel main body so that the tip end portion of the brake lever can be brought into contact with the ring-shaped braking member.
