Electrically driven paint stripping tool - has oscillating blade driven by crank through worm and wheel reduction gear

摘要

An electrically driven paint stripping tool has a hollow cylindrical handle (2) housing an electric motor (12). The shaft (20) of the motor carries a worm (22) which engages a worm-wheel (24) mounted on a shaft (26). A crank pin (30) fitted in the worm-wheel engages a block (28) which slides in a slot (40) in the slide (4) which is given an oscillating motion. A plate (42), which is held to the slide by two screws carries a blade (6). The tool is held by the handle (2) with the edge (8) of the blade pressed against the surface to be cleaned and the motor is started by the switch (16) on the side of the handle. The paint stripper can also be used for removing dirt from flat surfaces.
