Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in tools. It has to do more particularly with tools of the type used for firing projectiles into metal, concrete or the like, the projectiles being of special form such for example as shown in my copending application Serial No. 684,935, filed July 19, 1946, and employed as fastenings in building construction.
  • One of the objects of the invention is the provision of a tool of the character stated which will present no hazard of accidental discharge and which shall automatically assume the safety position.
  • Another object 1 is the provision of a tool of simple form and few parts that may be loaded quickly and that is rugged and certain in its action.
  • Still another object is the provision of means for absorbing recoil.
  • Fig. l is a longitudinal sectional view of a tool embodying the invention, the view being taken substantially along the line l--I of Fig. 2;
  • Fig. 2 is a iragmental elevational view looking in the direction of arrow 2, Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Fig. l.
  • drawing l represents an enlongated housing which may be cylindrical in shape, open at its front end and preferably closed at its rear end as shown. It may be formed of aluminum or other light metal or alloy if desired.
  • a cylindrical carrier I l is slidably mounted in the housing, being guided throughout most of its travel by a longitudinal slot l2 in the housing into which the head of a peg I3 extends, the shank of the peg being threaded into a tapped hole in the carrier i l.
  • a partition or other abutment I4 is secured within the housing at an intermediate point by screws l5 or other suitable means. It serves as an abutment for the rear end of a large resilient coil spring iii, the other or front end of the spring bearing against the rear end of the carrier.
  • a barrel il is removably mounted in the carrier, preferably by means of a short coarse thread i8 formed at a point about two-thirds of the way down the barrel and engaging with a complementary thread at the front extremity oi the carrier. That portion of the barrel which projects beyond the carrier may be knurled in order to form a good grip for the operators iingers when screwing the barrel into or out of the carrier.
  • I use a thread of one and one-half turns which enables an operator to thread the barrel home by a single spinning movement thereof. rllhe major portion of the barrel is thus surrounded and reinforced by the carrier li and also by the housing l0.
  • Barrel I1 has a bore I3 throughout the major portion of its length and a counterbcre 2t at its rear end, the counterbore being adapted to receive a breech plug 2l that is formed alike at its two ends so that it may receive a blank cartridge 22 regardless of which end of the plug is inserted first.
  • the front end of tbe plug bears against a thin ange 23 on the head of a projectile 24, here shown as a pin-like member with a rear head portion having a guiding t in the barrel bore I9 and when the cartridge is exploded, force builds up until it becomes sufficient to shear off the flange and drive the projectile out of the tool with great force.
  • a pair of diametrically opposed prongs Il' are formed at the extremity of the barrel for a purpose which will presently appear.
  • a ring pin 25 is slidably mounted in the carrier Ii. It has a collar 25 that is engaged by a coil spring 21 to hold the pin in inoperative postion, a hollow nut 28 threaded into the carrier ll serving as a removable stop against rearward movement of the pin.
  • Abutment iii is provided with a central aperture through which a plunger 3B is adapted to slide.
  • a disk 3l is attached to, and in effect constitutes a part of, the plunger.
  • a coil spring 32 bearing at one end against abutment it and at the other against disk 3i tends to hold the plunger in the retracted position illustrated in the drawing.
  • a sleeve 35 constituting a hand hold, is slidably mounted on the housing I0. It is attached to the plunger by means of screws 36 mounted in the Sleeve, extending through slots 31 in the housing and threaded into the disk 3
  • the sleeve is thus nonrotatably slidable upon the housing.
  • Part at least of the exterior surface of the sleeve is knurled as shown in order to provide a iirm grip for the operators hands.
  • Spring I6 being softer than spring 32, compresses when the operator pushes forwardly on the sleeve 35, the housing thereby moving forwardly around the barrel until it contacts the work, that is a Wall, floor or ceiling into which the projectile is to be driven. Then since the 3 housing can go no further the spring 32 is compressed by further pressure exerted by the operator upon the sleeve 35, enabling the plunger 3B to strike the iiring pin 25.
  • slot I2 in the housing merges with a transverse cam slot lla, which in turn merges with the front end of a short longitudinal slot lil.
  • the peg I3 is shown in; the. drawing in the position which it must assume atV the beginning of a firing operation. Normally it stands at the front end of the short slot lil, since car- ⁇ rier I I is impelled forwardly by spring I6 andangularly by the contact of peg I3 with cam slot G. In this position relativev longitudinal, movement between the barrel or carrier and the housing will be limited by the short length of slot 13
  • the tool cannot be discharged unless the front end of the barrel is held against a piece of work.
  • an operator should grasp the sleeve in one hand and the housing Iii in the other and attempt. to iire the tool he could not do so, for the travel of the sleeve relative to the housing is limited by the possible travel of screws te in slots 3l and this travel is less than the normal distance between the plunger Sil and the iiring pin 25.
  • the front end of the barrel must be flush with theA iront end of the housing,. and in addition the plunger. 35i must be driven for'- wardly, and thiscan occur only when the front end'of the tool barrel is against. the work.
  • the barrel In order to overcome thev automaticsafety lock the barrel must be turned far enough to deflect the peg I3. out of the short slot lll. into thev long slot I2. This the operator can do by grasping the projecting front end portion of' the barrel with the iingers of one hand while turning the sleeve 35 with the other until the peg isin the long slot, but the prongs Il' facilitate the operation since they can be caused to bite into the work' and thus hold the barrel stationary while the sleevev and housing are turned.
  • the operator holds the sleeve 35 in one hand and the projecting end of the barrel with the fingers of the other hand, turns the'barrel slightly to loosen the threads and then spins it to disengage the threads, after which he withdraws the barrel, removes the breech plug and the exploded cartridge, inserts a new projectile, puts a newr cartridge in the breach plug and inserts the latter and! then replaces the barrel and spins it to cause the thread I8 to lock it in position. rihe operation of removing the barrel and reloading itis thereby rapidlyI carried out.
