  • a high level of tightness can also be achieved with respect to high gas pressures.
  • a connection between the blow-off channel and the combustion chamber can already be released in an adjustable manner directly at a charge-side end of the combustion chamber, which enables adjustability over a large range of the driving-in energy.
  • the driving device comprises a hand-held housing 1, in which a piston member in the form of a piston is accommodated.

  • the charge is contained in a cartridge 4a made of sheet metal.
  • the cartridge 4a has an impact igniter and is inserted into a cartridge store before ignition via a corresponding loading mechanism, in the present case by means of a magazine strip 4.
  • the cartridge 4a and the cartridge bearing are then arranged rotationally symmetrically around a central axis A.
  • the central axis A is at the same time a central axis of the combustion chamber and of the piston member.
  • a combustion chamber 20 is shown, which is formed by a combustion chamber housing 21 .
  • the combustion chamber 20 is arranged between a circular opening 22 of the cartridge bearing 23 and the surface of the piston, not shown. At the time of combustion, the cartridge rests against the cartridge bearing and is chambered there.
  • a multi-start internal thread 24 is located in the combustion chamber housing 21 in the region of the combustion chamber 20 .
  • blow-off ducts 25 are connected to the combustion chamber 20 , which each open into the combustion chamber 20 with a blow-off opening 26 .
  • a cross-sectional area of each blow-off opening 26 widens in the driving-in direction 27 .
  • the vent openings 26 are arranged in a circular-cylindrical section of the combustion chamber 20 .
  • the combustion chamber 20 has a circular-cylindrical guide section 33 and a further guide section 32 .
  • the internal thread 24 is arranged along the central axis A between the guide section 33 and the further guide section 32 .
  • Combustion chamber 20 is shown with actuator 28 disposed therein.
  • the actuator 28 includes a threaded sleeve having a cylindrical inner wall and a piston guide 28a.
  • the energy to be transferred from the propellant charge to a piston member 34 can be altered in an adjustable manner by means of the actuator 28, in that the blow-off channels 25 are gradually released by means of the actuator 28 and by additionally or alternatively setting a starting position of the piston member 34 relative to the combustion chamber 20 by means of the actuator 28 is set.
  • blow-off openings 26 widen in the driving-in direction 27, initially only a very narrow section of the blow-off openings 26 and later a wider section of the blow-off openings 26 are released during a displacement of the actuator 28 .
  • the energy to be transmitted to the piston member 34 thus behaves linearly to the displacement path of the actuator 28.
  • the actuator 28 has an external thread 29 engaging with the internal thread 24 and a bearing 30 for mounting the actuator 28 in the guide section 33 and a further bearing 31 for mounting the actuator 28 in the further guide section 32 .

  • a flank angle between a front side 35 of the external thread 29 and/or the internal thread 24 and the central axis A is between 0° and 60°, preferably between 30° and 45°.
  • a transition from the front side 35 to a thread base of the external thread 29 or to a thread crest of the internal thread 24 is advantageously provided with a tree root rounding.
  • the actuator 60 includes a piston guide 61 and a slide 62, which is axially displaceable relative to the piston guide 61, but is also rotated when the piston guide 61 rotates about a central axis A'.
  • the piston guide 61 has two claws 63, which engage in two corresponding recesses 64 in the slide 62 in a rotationally fixed but axially displaceable manner.
  • the piston guide is coupled to the slide by means of one, three, four, five or more claws.
  • all of the claws come into engagement with the respective recesses at the same time, so that lateral forces on the slide are reduced. This simultaneous engagement is improved by designing the claws as spiral springs.
  • the piston guide 61 is in turn rotatably connected to an operating part 10 ( 1 ) connected in a rotationally fixed manner, so that the piston guide 61 forms a mechanical connection between the operating part 10 and the slide 62 at the same time.
  • the slide 62 has an external thread 65 which is complementary to an internal thread of a combustion chamber housing, not shown, for example to the internal thread 24 ( 2 ) is.
  • the external thread 65 does not have a thread run-out, but instead ends abruptly with a scraping edge 66, which under certain circumstances helps to clean the combustion chamber of combustion residues.
  • the external thread 65 has a plurality of transport grooves 67 and a plurality of transport bores 68, each of which runs essentially parallel to the driving direction. As a result, the actuator 60 remains easily adjustable under certain circumstances.
  • the adjustment of the driving energy works as follows, for example:
  • the slide 62 is screwed with its external thread 65 into the internal thread of the combustion chamber housing.
  • a rotation of the control panel, and thus of the piston guide 61 and the slide 62, about the central axis A therefore causes a positively controlled axial displacement of the slide 62.
  • the desired driving energy is set as the energy level marked on the control panel by rotating the control panel. Via the positive control described above, this leads to a corresponding axial positioning of the slide 62 relative to the combustion chamber housing. In this way, any blow-off channels that may be present are partially released via the passage (low driving-in energy, 3 ) or closed (maximum driving energy, 4 ).
