  • Converter assembly 63 includes a worm 65 fixedly mounted on a spline 67 attached to the front end 69 drive shaft 61 of DC motor 59 and held in place by a bushing 71, a worm gear 73 in engagement with worm 65, a spur gear 75 in engagement with worm gear 73 and a slider assembly 76.
  • Slider assembly 76 includes a slider 77, a rack 79 and a pair of compression springs 81 and 83.
  • Ejector rod 57 is mounted in a hole 83-1 in slider 77.
  • Rack 79 is snap-fit into a recess 84 in slider 77.
  • Rack 79 is slidably movable in recess 84 in slider 77 as shown by arrows A in Fig. 7 and is in engagement with spur gear 75 unless disengaged as will hereinafter be explained.
  • Slider 77 is mounted in casing 25 for slidable movement back and forth within barrel portion 29 along rib 31-4 on body half 31 as shown by arrows B in Fig. 5. Movement of rack 79 in slider 77 is restricted by compression springs 81 and 83. Compression spring 81 is disposed inside rack 79 between a stop 85 at the front end of rack 79 and a center post 87 on slider 77. Compression spring 83 is disposed inside rack 79 between a stop 89 at the rear end of rack 79 and center post 87.
  • rack 79 is sized to provide for overtravel.
  • the number of teeth and length of rack 79 is such that rack 79 will disengage from spur gear 75 (i.e. run out of teeth) at the end of its travel in each direction. Momentum will cause continued movement of rack 79 within slider 77, independent of spur gear 75. Reengagement of rack 79 with spur gear 75 is achieved by compression springs 81 and 83 as will also hereinafter be explained in more detail.
  • Worm gear 73 and spur gear 75 are each rotably mounted on a shaft 93 which is fixedly mounted in right half 31 of casing 25. Worm gear 73 is located behind spur gear 75. For clarity, spur gear 75 is broken away partly in Fig. 5 to show worm gear 73. Worm gear 73 and spur gear 75 are coupled together for movement by a set of splines 95 integrally formed on the front side of worm gear 73 and which face and interlock in a loose manner with a set of splines 97 integrally formed on one side of spur gear 75. The loose interconnection of worm gear 73 to spur gear 75 allows for overtravel of worm gear 73 relative to spur gear 75.
  • This overtravel enables motor 59 to drive spur gear 75 to a high speed very quickly and with very little torque.
  • the overtravel is realized by sizing and spacing the splines on each gear so worm gear 73 will have to rotate at least a few degrees in either direction before its splines hit up against the splines in the spur gear 75 and cause spur gear 75 to rotate with it.
  • a reciprocating feed pawl 99 for advancing fastener stock 11 loaded into guide groove 39 is rotably mounted on pin 45 in front of antiback 44.
  • Feed pawl 99 is driven by a slide bar 103 which is coupled to feed pawl 99 by a generally U-shaped link 105.
  • One end of link 105 is mounted in a hole 103-1 in slide bar 103 and the other end of link 105 is mounted in a hole 99-1 in feed pawl 99.
  • Slide bar 103 is disposed within barrel portion 29 of apparatus 23 between ribs 31-1 and 31-3 of body half 31 and is movable back and forth by slider 77.
  • An actuator 107 is disposed in a recess 104 in slide bar 103 for depressing a button 109 on a second switch 111 which is mounted on pins 113 integrally formed on right half 31 of casing 25.
  • Slide bar 103 is shaped to further include a recess 103-2 having a front wall 103-3 and a back wall 103-4 and a projection 103-5.
  • Slider 77 includes a projection 77-1 which is used to move slide bar 103 back and forth as will hereinafter be explained.
  • Actuator 107 is sized smaller than recess 104 so that it can move back and forth a small amount in recess 104 to provide for additional overtravel.
  • the mechanism in gun 23 operates in the following manner.
  • the electric circuit comprises first switch 55, DC motor 59 and second switch 111.
  • First switch 55 and second switch 111 are both normally closed, single pole, double throw switches.
  • the common terminal 55-1 of switch 55 is connected to the negative terminal of DC motor 59 while the common terminal 111-1 of switch 111 is connected to the positive terminal of DC motor 59.
  • a capacitor 124 is coupled in parallel with battery input terminals 60-8 and 60-9 to provide a more efficient use of the current.
  • switch 55 With switch 55 in an open position and switch 111 in an open position there will be a dynamic braking loop which will quickly bring motor 59 to a stop.
  • switch 55 Upon release of trigger 37, switch 55 will return to a normally closed position and current will flow through motor 59 in a path shown by dashed arrows 120-2 causing drive shaft 61 of motor 59 to rotate counterclockwise. This in turn will cause slider 77 to return to its original "home” position carrying with it slide bar 103. As slide bar 103 moves back it will release switch button 109 returning switch 111 to a normally closed position. Slider 77 will stop when it hits rear stop 91. Momentum will cause continued free movement of rack 79. Compression spring 83 will push rack 79 back into engagement with spur gear 75.
  • button 109 will not be depressed unless slider 77 moves forward sufficiently so that it engages slide bar 103 and carries slide bar with it so that actuator 107 can contact button 109 and push button 109 down.
  • slider 77 may be prevented from moving forward to the point where slide bar 103 is moved sufficiently forward so that actuator 107 can depress button 109.
  • a release button 125 is provided.
  • Button 125 enables a user to manually push slide bar 103 forward so that actuator 107 can be brought into contact with button 109 and push button 109 down.
  • Button 125 includes a base 125-1 and a projection 125-2.
  • Base 125-1 is slidably mounted in body half 31 between ribs 31-2 and 31-3 in back of projection 103-5 on slide bar 103.
  • Projection 125-2 extends up through a longitudinal slot 31-6 in body half 31 (See Fig. 15A).
  • button 125 When button 125 is pushed forward, base 125-1 will hit up against projection 103-5 on slide bar 103 and push slide bar 103 forward to the point where actuator 107 pushes button 109 down.
  • motor 59 will be reversed moving slider 77 and hence ejector rod 59 back away from needle 40. Needle 40 can then be easily removed from apparatus 23 and the fastener causing the jam removed from needle 40.
  • switch 55 could be replaced by a pair of single pole single throw switches, one normally open and the other normally closed, with both switches being mechanically ganged together.
  • Switch 111 could also be replaced by a pair of single pole single throw switches constructed and coupled together to function as switch 111.
  • overtravel can be achieved removing an arcuate segment of teeth from the spur gear or by providing for alternate engagement and disengagement of the spur and worm gears radially at a common pressure point using a spring loaded projection on one of the gears and a detent on the other gear.
  • FIGs. 17-19 are shown front, top and side views of a modification of battery pack 60, the modification being identified by reference numeral 124.
  • Battery pack 124 includes 6 batteries 124-1 through 124-6 which are stacked horizontally rather than vertically.
  • Battery pack 124 includes a container 125 having an opening 127 in the side in which is disposed a switch type charging receptacle 129.
  • the circuit diagram for battery pack 124 is shown in Fig. 20.
  • the circuit includes charge voltage receptacle 129.
  • Receptacle 129 has a positive terminal 131-2, a fixed negative terminal 131-3 and a normally closed terminal 131-4.
  • Circuit also includes a junction 131-5, output terminals 131-6 and 131-7.
  • Circuit 124 operates the same way as in battery pack 60. Battery pack 124 is charged through receptacle 129.
  • actuator 107 and slide bar 103 can be made a unitary structure, if so desired.
  • An example of a combined actuator and slide bar is shown in Fig. 21 and identified by reference numeral 135.
  • Combination actuator and slide bar 135 is an elongated member shaped to include a recess 135-1 similar to projection 135-2 similar to projection 135-2 similar to projection 103-5.
  • combination slide bar and actuator 135 includes a projection 135-3 for depressing button 109 on switch 111.
  • Actuator 137 includes a channel shaped base 137-1 and a projection 137-2.
