shaft-receiving chamber 330C to receive a driving
shaft 313 for driving a screw 361, and a slider member
34 coupled slidably to the barrel 33. A front portion
343 of the slider member 34 defines a screw-guiding

aligned with the axis of the screw driving shaft 313,
and a curved guiding face 373C that extends from the
rear part 372 to the apex 373A. The guiding face 373C
can engage the screw 361 when the screw 361 is pushed
into the screw-guiding chamber 343C by the screw
driving shaft 313 to prevent the screw 361 from
inclining relative to the axis of the driving shaft
313.
Description
- The invention relates to a screw driving gun, more particularly to a screw driving gun having a slider member provided with a screw guide spring.
- A conventional screw driving gun is adapted for use with a screw feed belt that has a belt body and a plurality of screws detachably retained on the belt body, and includes a gun housing, a tubular barrel, a tubular slider, a screw driving shaft, and a positioning member.
- The tubular barrel has a first peripheral wall with a rear end mounted on the gun housing, and a front end. The first peripheral wall defines a chamber in a longitudinal direction. The tubular slider has a second peripheral wall with a rear portion that is coupled slidably to the front end of the barrel so as to be slidable relative thereto in the longitudinal direction, and a front portion that extends forwardly from the barrel. The front portion of the slider is formed with a slot that extends in a transverse direction relative to the longitudinal direction and that is adapted for passage of the belt body therethrough in order to register a selected one of the screws with the chamber of the barrel. The screw driving shaft has a driven end and a turning bit. The screw driving shaft is accommodated in the chamber of the barrel such that the turning bit is extendible into the tubular slider. The screw driving shaft is rotatable axially such that the turning bit is adapted to drive rotatably the selected one of the screws. A drive unit is mounted in the gun housing, and is coupled to the driven end of the screw driving shaft so as to drive rotatably the screw driving shaft. The positioning member is secured to the front portion of the tubular slider for abutting against the surface of a work piece that rests on a wall structure so that the work piece can be fastened on the wall structure when the selected one of the screws is driven and rotated by the turning bit upon operation of the drive unit.
- A disadvantage of the conventional screw driving gun resides in that, in case the selected screw has a relatively long length in the longitudinal direction, the belt body is unable to maintain the orientation of the screw in the longitudinal direction. Thus, inclination of the screw relative to the longitudinal direction by virtue of gravity will occur during the driving operation of the screw.
- Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a screw driving gun having a slider member which is provided with screw guiding spring to overcome the aforesaid disadvantage that is generally associated with the conventional screw driving gun.
- The screw driving gun of the present invention includes a barrel extending from a gun housing and defining a shaft-receiving chamber to receive a driving shaft for driving a screw, and a slider member coupled slidably to the barrel. A front portion of the slider member defines a screw-guiding chamber and is formed with a mounting plate in the screw-guiding chamber. A screw guiding curved spring has a front part fixed on the mounting plate adjacent to an abutting end of the slider member, a rear part, a middle biasing part which is disposed between the front and rear parts and which has an apex generally aligned with the axis of the screw driving shaft, and a curved guiding face that extends from the rear part to the apex. The guiding face can engage the screw when the screw is pushed into the screw-guiding chamber by the screw driving shaft to prevent the screw from inclining relative to the axis of the driving shaft.

The turningbit 313B of thescrew driving shaft 313 is extendible into the screw-receivingchamber 342C, and is rotatable axially such that the turningbit 313B is adapted to drive rotatably the selected one of thescrews 361 in the screw-receivingchamber 342C. - The
curved spring 37 is disposed in the screw-guidingchamber 343C, and has afront part 371 disposed securely on themounting plate 38 adjacent to the abuttingend 3431 of thefront portion 343, arear part 372 slidably disposed on themounting plate 38 adjacent to the screw-receiving chamber 342C, amiddle biasing part 373 which is disposed between the front and rear parts 371,372 and which has anapex 373A generally aligned with the axis of thescrew driving shaft 313, and a curved guiding face 373S that extends from therear part 372 to theapex 373A and that is adapted to engage theselected screw 361 when the latter is pushed into the screw-guidingchamber 343C from the screw-receivingchamber 342C by thescrew driving shaft 313. Under this condition, thecurved spring 37 provides an upwardly biasing force to prevent theselected screw 361 from inclining relative to the axis of thescrew driving shaft 313 by virtue of gravity while theselected screw 361 is being driven rotatably into thework piece surface 380 via the screw-extension hole 3432 in theabutting end 3431 by the turningbit 313B of thescrew driving shaft 313. Note that thecurved spring 37 can be easily manufactured at a low cost, and mounting of the same in theslidable housing 340 can be easily done. - Preferably, the
slidable housing 340 is formed from left and right housing halves which are detachably coupled to each other to define the bottom opening 345 via which theselected screw 361 extends prior to being received in the screw-receivingchamber 342C.
