Provided is a belt-type grinding tool allowing an endless grinding belt replacement operation to be performed without requiring a large force. A belt-type grinding tool has an endless grinding belt wound around a drive pulley provided in a tool body and an idler pulley rotatably supported by a pulley support bar. The grinding tool has a spring urging the pulley support bar forward relative to the tool body, thereby causing the idler pulley to press the endless grinding belt forward to apply a tension to the endless grinding belt, and a spring support member movably attached to the tool body to support and compress the spring, the spring support member being movable between a first position where the idler pulley applies a tension to the endless grinding belt and a second position where the spring support member is displaced from the first position to reduce the amount of compression of the spring to reduce the tension.

A system for handling valuable documents is provided that comprises a validatorfor validating authenticity of a valuable document, and a printerfor printing on a cardinformation in validatorand an interfacefor connecting validatorand printerfor their intercommunication. Automatically or after a certain period of time, validatortransmits its stored validation information to printerthrough interface. Otherwise, receiving a transmission instruction signal of validation information given upon turning a trigger switch on or receiving a retrieval instruction signal from printer, validatortransmits its stored validation information to printerthrough interfaceto print the validation information on card

System for handling valuable documents

In an endless belt type grinding tool, a tension bar includes a front portion and a rear portion which are divided from each other in a tubular holding portion. The front portion and the rear portion forcibly abut against each other when the endless grinding belt wound around the drive pulley and the idle pulley is applied with a tension by the spring. The endless belt type grinding tool includes a locking member which, when the tension bar is pushed into the tubular holding portion against the spring, engages with the rear portion of the tension bar to retain the rear portion at the pushed position against the urging force of the spring. Thus, in a state in which the grinding belt is removed, it is possible to reduce damage even if the tension bar, which is being pushed in, accidentally jumps out.

Endless belt type grinding tool

A pneumatic tool which can be easily assembled. This pneumatic tool includes a tool housing and an air supply pipe. The tool housing includes a motor housing having a tubular wall, and a tubular air supply/exhaust portion connected to the side surface of the tubular wall and extending rearwardly of the pneumatic tool. The air supply pipe has a valve unit, and is inserted into and set in the air supply/exhaust portion. The air supply/exhaust portion has an air supply passage extending from the motor housing. When the air supply pipe is inserted into and fixed to the air supply/exhaust portion, the forward end portion of the air supply pipe is communicated with a rear end opening of the air supply passage of the air supply/exhaust portion, whereby a compressed air supply passage to an air motor is formed.

Pneumatic tool

A rotationally driven air tool configured to be capable of retaining a lubricant in a gear of a rotation transmitting mechanism as long as possible has an air motor (), a rotation transmitting mechanism () transmitting rotational driving force from a rotational output shaft () of the air motor to a rotary tool member (), e.g. an abrasive disc, and a housing () having a motor chamber (), a rotation transmitting chamber (), a partition () between the motor chamber and the rotation transmitting chamber, and an air blow port () provided to extend through the partition to blow air discharged from the air motor toward a peripheral wall surface of the rotation transmitting chamber.

Rotationally driven air tool

The invention of this application provides a pneumatic tool with a simple structure. The tool has a tubular housing, a stationary shaft, a first piston slidable along the stationary shaft, a second piston, a tool attachment member drivingly connected to the second piston, a compressed air supply path extending through the stationary shaft to supply compressed air between the first and second pistons, and an air discharge path for discharging the compressed air supplied between the first and second pistons to the outside of the housing when the first and second pistons are separated by a predetermined distance. The compressed air supply path has an axial portion in the stationary shaft and a radial portion, a compressed air inlet recess in the inner wall surface of a shaft sliding hole, and a supply outlet extending forward from the forward end of the compressed air inlet recess and communicating with a portion between the first and second pistons.

A storage control device of bank structure is provided which comprises a CPUand a storageconnected to CPU. Storagedetects and temporarily holds one of the bank addresses 0DF00h-7DF07h of the bank memoriesto be read out next by CPUwhen one of the bank memoriesis read out by CPUso that storagesupplies the held bank address 0DF00h-7DF07h to a memory control devicewhich thereby is switched to a next bank memory when CPUproduces a next retrieval signal. Accordingly, CPUof small capacity reads information from storage of larger capacity to operate a controlled system connected to CPUof the storage control device.

An impact tool enables a front cover part to be easily attached to and detached from a housing body, with a device having a simplified structure. The front cover part has an annular fastening portion clamped to the outer peripheral surface of a front edge portion of the housing body, a cylindrical portion extending from the front end of the housing to the region of the fastening portion, and a connecting portion connecting together the cylindrical portion and the fastening portion. The fastening portion is split at a circumferential part thereof to form a pair of circumferentially opposing tongue-shaped portions. A clamping device is provided between the tongue-shaped portions, which is movable between a clamping position where it pulls the tongue-shaped portions toward each other and an unclamping position where the tongue-shaped portions are released from being pulled toward each other.

Impact tool

A bill validator is provided which comprises a rotator with a slit and being rotatably attached to the bill validator, the slit being capable of aligning with a passageway when the rotator is in an initial position; a driving device for rotating the rotator; and a validator control circuit for judging authenticity of the bill by outputs of detective sensors and for controlling the driving device. The validator control circuit produces outputs to operate the driving device and thereby to rotate the rotator so as to wind some pulling string connected to the bill around the rotator after the bill passes the slit of the rotator, and the circuit evaluates the rotation rate of the rotator, and detects the unauthorized pulling string.
