Patent attributes
The improved airflow control structure for pneumatic tools has an air inlet to receive external air, a cylinder located in a pneumatic tool and an air intake passage located between them. A valve bushing is provided to connect to the air intake passage and respectively connect a first air intake flow path and a second air intake flow path. The valve bushing holds a control bar which can alter the air intake flow path of the pneumatic tool to control the rotation of pneumatic tool in a positive direction or a reverse direction. As the valve bushing and the cylinder are integrally formed in one piece, the pneumatic tool can be adopted in a plastic housing. Through the control bar users can operate the pneumatic tool single-handed as convenient as to start, stop or regulate the pneumatic tool in positive or reverse rotations while using the same hand to hold it.
