Appl. No.:

17/355988

Inventors:

- Anderson SC, US
Miles R. Moody - Greenville SC, US
J. Luke Jenkins - Williamston SC, US

International Classification:

B25C 1/04
B25C 1/00

Abstract:

A pneumatic fastener driver operable in a single sequential mode and a bump-fire mode, and includes a housing, a nosepiece, a trigger moveable between a default position and a depressed position, a contact arm movable relative to the nosepiece between an extended position and a retracted position, and a timeout mechanism operable in the bump-fire mode to inhibit the drive cycle from being initiated in response to inactivity of the contact arm over a preset time interval defined by unwinding of a mainspring that is initially wound in response to the trigger being actuated from the default position to the depressed position. The pneumatic fastener driver also includes a counting assembly having a female barrel pivotably coupled to a pivot shaft of the trigger and driven by the mainspring and a lockout linkage coupled to the female barrel that is capable of interfering with a portion of the trigger.

International Classification:

B25C 1/04

Abstract:

A pneumatic fastener driver is operable in a single sequential mode and a bump-fire mode. The pneumatic fastener driver includes a housing, a nosepiece extending from the housing from which fasteners are ejected, and a trigger moveable between a default position, in which a drive cycle is inhibited from initiating, and a depressed position, in which the drive cycle is permitted to be initiated. The pneumatic fastener driver further includes a contact arm movable relative to the nosepiece between an extended position and a retracted position, and a timeout mechanism operable in the bump-fire mode to inhibit the drive cycle from being initiated in response to inactivity of the contact arm over a preset time interval that begins once the trigger is actuated from the default position to the depressed position.

Inventors:

- Macao, MO
Matthew Conner - Greenville SC, US

International Classification:

B25C 1/00
B25C 1/04

Abstract:

A powered fastener driver includes a magazine containing fasteners therein, a drive blade movable in a reciprocating manner to discharge a fastener from the magazine for each drive cycle of the drive blade, a first trigger operable to initiate a drive cycle of the drive blade, and a second trigger movable between a first position, in which initiation of the drive cycle is inhibited irrespective of actuation of the first trigger, and a second position, in which initiation of the drive cycle occurs in conjunction with actuation of the first trigger.

International Classification:

B25C 1/00
B25C 1/04

Abstract:

A powered fastener driver includes a magazine containing fasteners therein, a drive blade movable in a reciprocating manner to discharge a fastener from the magazine for each drive cycle of the drive blade, a first trigger operable to initiate a drive cycle of the drive blade, and a second trigger movable between a first position, in which the first trigger is inhibited from moving to initiate the drive cycle, and a second position, in which the first trigger is movable to initiate the drive cycle.
