The present invention is to prevent a drive-in position of a fastening member with respect to a material to be driven from being shifted. The drive-in machine according to the present invention comprises: an operation member; a contact member; a striking portion; and a first pressure chamber, the drive-in machine further comprising: a valve element for opening and closing a first passage through which a compressed fluid is sent to the first pressure chamber; a control mechanism having a first state and a second state in which the valve element is controlled; and a restriction mechanism for allowing and restricting the switching between the first state and the second state of the control mechanism. The restriction mechanism has first and second functions for allowing or restricting the control mechanism to be switched from the second state to the first state according to a time from a reference time point.

A fastener driver includes an outer cylinder having a cylindrical first end and an opposite, second end, an inner cylinder positioned within the outer cylinder, a moveable piston positioned within the inner cylinder, and a driver blade attached to the piston and movable therewith between a top-dead-center position and a bottom-dead-center position along a drive axis. The outer cylinder defining a longitudinal axis and a storage chamber configured to be filled with pressurized gas. The inner cylinder being in communication with the pressurized gas within the storage chamber. A frame has first end adjacent the cylindrical first end of the outer cylinder and a second end extending outward from the cylindrical first end of the outer cylinder in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The frame is integrally formed with the outer cylinder as a single piece and a nosepiece supported by the frame.

A fastener driver includes a magazine configured to receive fasteners, a nosepiece including a fastener driving channel from which consecutive fasteners from the magazine are driven, and a workpiece contact element movable relative to the nosepiece between an extended position and a retracted position. A portion of the workpiece contact element is slidably positioned within the fastener driving channel. The portion of the workpiece contact element having an aperture extending therethrough in which the fasteners pass from the magazine through the aperture into the fastener driving channel of the nosepiece to be fired. The portion of the workpiece contact element further includes a guide assembly positioned thereon. The guide assembly configured to guide the fastener along the portion of the workpiece contact element within the fastener driving channel as the fastener is being fired into a workpiece.

A nail gun includes a power module, a magazine module and a detection module. The power module performs a nail-driving operation by receiving a first pressure, and is prevented from receiving the first pressure when the power module is subjected to a second pressure. The detection module includes a valve rod and a detection member operable to pivot between an unsealing position and a sealing position. The detection member is moved to the sealing position when the number of the nails in the magazine module is less than a predetermined amount.

A pneumatic fastener driver is operable in a single sequential mode and a bump-fire mode. The pneumatic fastener driver includes a housing, a nosepiece extending from the housing from which fasteners are ejected, and a trigger moveable between a default position, in which a drive cycle is inhibited from initiating, and a depressed position, in which the drive cycle is permitted to be initiated. The pneumatic fastener driver further includes a contact arm movable relative to the nosepiece between an extended position and a retracted position, and a timeout mechanism operable in the bump-fire mode to inhibit the drive cycle from being initiated in response to inactivity of the contact arm over a preset time interval that begins once the trigger is actuated from the default position to the depressed position.

Provided is a nail gun, including: a housing, a firing pin, a prime mover, a first cylinder, a first piston, a second cylinder, a second piston, and a locking member. A first chamber is defined in the first cylinder, the first piston is disposed in the first chamber and is fixedly connected to the firing pin, the second cylinder is formed with the second chamber that is in communication with the first chamber. The second piston is disposed in the second chamber and operative to be driven by the prime mover to perform a reciprocating motion between a first position and the second position along a first straight line. The locking member is configured for locking or releasing the first piston in the first chamber, and the first piston is formed or connected with: a locking portion configured for engaging with the locking member. When the second piston is at the first position, the locking member is operative to be engaged with the locking portion to lock the first piston within the first chamber, and when the second piston is at the second position, the prime mover is operative to drive the locking member out of engagement with the locking portion to release the first piston within the first chamber.

A pneumatic tool includes: a drive mechanism which is configured to be driven by compressed air of a first pressure: and a valve mechanism which is configured to be actuated by compressed air of a second pressure, which is higher than an atmospheric pressure and lower than the first pressure, and which is configured to switch whether or not to supply the compressed air of the first pressure to the drive mechanism.

A fastener-driving tool includes a housing and a workpiece-contacting element movable between a rest position and an activated position. The tool also includes a trigger connected to the housing and movable between a rest position and an activated position, a control valve including an actuating pin, an actuation lever movably connected to the trigger and movable between a rest position and an actuating position adjacent to the actuating pin, and a trigger control mechanism associated with the actuation lever and configured for moving and holding the actuation lever in the actuating position. In a powered mode, the trigger control mechanism causes the-actuation lever to move and remain in the actuating position such that the tool is actuated each time the workpiece-contacting element contacts a workpiece and moves to the activated position causing the actuation lever to contact the actuating pin and initiate an actuation of the tool.

A fastener driver includes a cylinder, a moveable piston positioned within the cylinder, and a driver blade attached to the piston and movable therewith between a top-dead-center (TDC) position and a bottom-dead-center (BDC) position. A lifter is operable to move the driver blade from the BDC position toward the TDC position. A transmission is provided for providing torque to the lifter. The lifter includes a hub and a plurality of lugs extending therefrom. Each lug is engageable with the driver blade when moving the driver blade from the BDC position toward the TDC position. The hub and the lugs are integrally formed as a single piece. The lifter includes a first side and an opposite second side. Each of the first side and the second side is flat.

A nail gun includes a gun body, a power module, a muzzle module and an switchable trigger module. The muzzle module includes a contact arm resiliently maintained at a normal position. The switchable trigger module includes a transmission unit, a trigger arm unit and a trigger unit. The transmission unit includes a transmission member that is connected to the contact arm. The trigger unit includes a trigger member and a blocking member. The trigger member is operable to move between a sequential firing position and a repetitive firing position.
