Abstract:
An air-input speed regulator for pneumatic tool, comprising:an air intake connector having a seat, at one side of which there is provided an axially extended channel for receiving a steel ball and a spring therein, and an elongate tubular portion forward extended from a front end of said seat and having front and rear air holes sequentially provided at predetermined positions in an axial direction; and a regulating knob including a forward extended short tube portion, a front end of which is formed into a stepped surface to include a plurality of steps gradually lowered in a circumferential direction, and a plurality of hollow projections circumferentially spaced along an inner wall surface of said regulating knob to each correspond to one of said steps; said tubular portion of said air intake connector being axially forward extended through said regulating knob, and said regulating knob being turnable relative to said air intake connector to bring one of said steps on the front end of said tube portion of said regulating knob to cover said rear air hole on said tubular portion of said connector by different extent, and one of said hollow projections to engage with said steel ball on said connector to locate said regulating knob in place, so as to change an effective air communicating area of said rear air hole and accordingly an amount of air flown through said rear air hole, enabling said pneumatic tool to produce different torque force.
