Definitions

  • This invention relates to fluid powered devices and more particularly to fluid powered fastener driving tools.
  • the present tool is of the type wherein an explosive cartridge provides the power for driving a fastener or similar driven element and more particularly wherein the explosive force is directed against a piston of substantially greater mass than the fastener, with the piston driving the fastener.
  • difficulty may be encountered in dissipating the explosive force after the fastener has been driven.
  • the explosive gases are discharged through a relatively large opening in the side of the barrel at a point relatively close to the barrel breech. The release of the gases results in a very loud report and a flame and glowing particles which are annoying and which could cause injury to the operator of the tool or to material close to the discharge opening. Difficulty may also be encountered in stopping the forward travel of the piston after detonation of the cartridge.
  • Such forward travel is usually stopped in one of two ways, either by the resistance of the fastener or other driven element, particularly a headed portion of such an element engaging a surface into which it is being driven, or alternately by a portion of the piston engaging an abutment in the muzzle end of the barrel.
  • the first mode of stopping the travel of the piston is objectionable because the driven element may be driven too far into the workpiece and in the case of a fastener the head may be driven through the surface of the workpiece.
  • a great deal of shock results and possible damage to the tool or premature fatigue of the parts of the tool is likely, as well as discomfort to the operator.
  • a very serviceable and effective firing mechanism for tools in which a fastener is driven through a bore in the tool by an explosive force directed against the fastener itself utilizes a cocking rod secured to the barrel.
  • a cocking rod secured to the barrel In piston type tools this has not been found to be satisfactory because upon detonation of the cartridge the barrel is driven rearwardly against the breech block, and upon abruptly stopping the piston the barrel is driven forwardly.
  • the resultant shock to which the barrel is subjected has resulted in a cocking rod attached to the barrel of a piston type tool becoming loose in its mounting and it has been found that under these circumstances the rod should be mounted in a portion of the tool which is not subjected to such severe shock.
  • the present invention is directed to overcoming these difiiculties and providing an improved tool.
  • the shock resulting in stopping the forward travel of the piston under the force of the explosive charge is reduced by providing a plurality of hard washers between an abutment in the muzzle end of the barrel bore and a cooperating abutment portion on the piston.
  • the impulse forces between the washers, or in other words, the rattling effect between the washers absorbs this shock.
  • the burning explosive gases which drive the piston are dissipated through an opening in the side of the barrel and then 3,172,118 Patented Mar. 9, 1965 through a blast chamber which reduces the report of the explosion and confines any flames or glowing particles of the explosive matter in the chamber.
  • the firing mechanism has been improved by mounting the entire mechanism in the tool housing with no parts on the barrel or other portions of the tool which are subjected to excessive shock.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an improved means for dissipating shock in piston type driving tools.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a quieter and safer tool.

  • the blast is thereby deflected away from the operator and the noise of the blast is substantially reduced.
  • the blast chamber further prevents any glowing particles of explosive matter or flame resultant from the explosion from escaping from the tool 6 thereby eliminating any possibility of injury to nearby personnel or material.
  • the operator After firing the tool the operator releases the trigger 11 which is returned to the position shown in FIGURE 9 by the spring 98.

  • the firing pin Upon detonation of the cartridge 2%, the firing pin is in its inoperative or forward position as shown in FIGURE 10 and upon forward movement of the barrel 14, the cocking rod spring 93 drives the cooking rod forward in the housing 1 until the cocking rod arm 94 engages an abutment in the housing.
