A thermal printer of the present invention includes: a thermal head; a platen roller disposed to face the thermal head; a first path that guides a recording paper drawn from a recording paper roll to one entrance of a gap between the thermal head and the platen roller such that a first main surface of the recording paper is on the thermal head side; a second path that guides the recording paper drawn from the recording paper roll to the other entrance of the gap between the thermal head and the platen roller such that a second main surface of the recording paper is on the thermal head side; and a switch guide that switches between the first path and the second path.

A drilling device having an oil supply tank disposed at a position where the oil supply tank is less likely to collide with surrounding objects. This device includes a fixing member () fixed to a workpiece, a column () extending upward from the fixing member, a tubular slide unit () that is slidable along the column, a tool body () disposed on the tubular slide unit, and an oil supply tank () provided between the tool body and the fixing member and removably fixed to the tubular slide unit. The tool body is provided with a cutting oil supply passage having a cutting oil inlet () disposed toward the fixing member, while the oil supply tank is provided with a cutting oil outlet disposed upward. The tool body is displaced upward on the column and the oil supply tank is moved close to the tool body from the lower side of the tool body, whereby the cutting oil outlet of the oil supply tank is connected to the cutting oil inlet of the tool body.

A drilling device prevents recurrence of an overload condition after occurrence of the overload condition, thereby improving operability and safety in the drilling device. A motor for rotating a drill is connected to an AC power source through a motor control unit, a current detector, and a power switch. A magnet is also connected to the AC power source through the power switch and a full-wave rectifier. The motor control unit rotationally drives the motor on the basis of a signal sent from a main control unit according to a state in which a motor start switch is on. The main control unit controls the motor control unit to gradually reduce a supply voltage to the motor when the motor becomes overloaded, to gradually increase the voltage to the normal power supply condition when the overload condition is vanished, and to stop power supply to the motor if the overload condition continues for a predetermined period.

An apparatus for fixing an annular cutter to an arbor comprises an arbor and a rotation transmitting member coaxially fixed to the arbor. Inclined grooves which receives locking pins extend from the inner peripheral surface to the outer peripheral surface of the rotation transmitting member toward the arbor. A guide ring is axially slidably mounted on the rotation transmitting member and has pressing faces and restricting grooves defined by the pressing faces. Each restricting groove has a dimension which can receive the respective locking pin. A holding mechanism is provided for holding the guide ring in a normal state in which the pressing faces press the locking pins inward along the inclined grooves. The holding mechanism can moved toward the arbor together with the guide ring so as to allow the locking pins to enter the restricting grooves. An annular cutter has a cutter body and a shank connected to the cutter body and inserted into said rotation transmitting member. The outer cylindrical surface of the shank is formed with an annular engaging groove which aligns the inclined grooves when the said shank is fully inserted in the rotation transmitting member.

An annular cutter connecting apparatus includes an arbor, annular cutter fixing locking members received in holding holes formed in the lower end portion of the arbor and a sleeve member surrounding the lower end portion of the arbor, for fixing an annular cutter to the arbor. The sleeve has a first control face having an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the lower end portion of the arbor, for projecting the locking members into the central bore by a predetermined length when the first control face engages the locking members, and second control faces formed circumferentially in the first control face, for receiving the locking members. The sleeve is rotatable around its own axis so as to cause the locking members to selectively face the first control face and the second control faces, respectively. An annular cutter has a shank portion provided with locking member passing portion or portions on that part of the outer peripheral surface of the shank portion which corresponds to the holding holes of the annular cutter connecting apparatus. The shank portion has depressed locking member receiving portion formed in or on the locking member passing portion or portions and receive the locking members. The annular cutter is connected to and removed from the arbor in one-touch operation.

A quick return mechanism for a drilling machine comprises an input shaft, an output shaft, an overdrive gear train and a speed-reduction gear train, each disposed between the input and output shafts, a first clutch for connecting the output shaft to the input shaft through the over-drive gear train when a motor for driving the input shaft rotates in the quick-return direction and disconnecting the output shaft from the input shaft when the motor rotates in the feed direction, a second clutch selectively set at a first position and a second position, for connecting the output shaft to the input shaft through the speed-reduction gear train at the first position when the motor is rotated in the feed direction, and disconnecting the output shaft from the input shaft through the speed-reduction gear train at the second position, when the motor rotates in the quick-return direction, and a rotation=linear-movement converting unit for setting the second clutch at the first position when the motor rotates in the feed direction, and at the second position when the motor rotates in the quick-return direction.
