A driving tool without necessary to secure an arrangement space dedicated to an actuator is provided. A driving tool includes: a striking unit movable to strike a fastener; a housing for supporting the striking unit; a trigger provided in the housing; a push lever provided in the housing, and a trigger valve, and the driving tool further includes: a slide member provided in the trigger; and a solenoid provided in the trigger and configured to move the slide member.

A driving tool drives a fastener by a striking mechanism. The driving tool includes a trigger, a contact arm, a contact lever and a regulator. The trigger and the contact arm receive manipulations which operate the striking mechanism. The contact lever is movable according to operations of the trigger and the contact arm and switches operating states of the striking mechanism. The regulator regulates a movement of the contact lever according to a movement of the contact arm in which another manipulation is released. The regulator operates with a fluid for operating the striking mechanism, and keeps the contact lever at an operation standby position where the contact lever is operated by manipulation of the contact arm for a predetermined time period by controlling a flow rate of the fluid.

A fastener driver includes a drive blade movable from a retracted position to a driven position for driving a fastener into a work piece. The fastener driver further includes a gas spring mechanism for driving the drive blade from the retracted position to the driven position. The gas spring mechanism is moveable between a retracted state and a driven state. The fastener driver further includes a first return mechanism for moving the drive blade from the driven position toward the retracted position, and a second return mechanism for returning the gas spring mechanism toward the retracted state separately from movement of the drive blade.

A driving tool drives a fastener by a striking mechanism which is operated by a fluid. The driving tool includes a trigger, a contact arm, a contact lever and a regulator. The trigger and the contact arm receive manipulations and the contact lever switches operating states of the striking mechanism according to operations of the trigger and the contact arm. The regulator switches operating states of the contact lever according to the contact arm. The regulator includes a regulation member and a controller. The regulation member regulates the contact lever at an operation standby position where the contact lever is operated by the contact arm. The controller operates the regulation member and includes first and second cylinders. The first cylinder operates the regulation member. The second cylinder to which a fluid operating the striking mechanism is partially supplied and generates a driving force for driving the first cylinder.

A driving tool drives a fastener supplied to a nose using a striking mechanism. The driving tool includes a trigger, a contact arm, a contact lever and a regulator. The trigger receives a manipulation which operates the striking mechanism. The contact arm reciprocates and receives another manipulation which operates the striking mechanism. The contact lever operates according to operations of the trigger and the contact arm and switches operating states of the striking mechanism. The regulator regulates a movement of the contact lever in a range from an operable position where the striking mechanism is operable by the contact lever to an operation standby position where the contact lever is operable by the contact arm, according to a reciprocating movement of the contact arm, and switches operating states of the contact lever according to the contact arm.

A compressed air nailer comprises a control line configured to trigger a driving process when a valve pin is displaced relative to a valve sleeve into an actuated position. The valve sleeve is configured to move between a triggering position and a locked position. A switching surface is coupled to at least one of a trigger and a placing sensor and configured to actuate the valve pin. An outer sleeve is configured to guide the valve sleeve. The switching surface is positioned at a switching surface position relative to the outer sleeve when both the trigger and the placing sensor are actuated. The switching surface is configured to displace the valve pin into the actuated position when the valve sleeve is positioned in the triggering position. The switching surface does not displace the valve pin into the actuated position when the valve sleeve is positioned in the locked position.

A pneumatic tool includes a drive mechanism configured to be actuated by a pneumatic pressure of compressed air, a body housing having the drive mechanism embedded therein, a grip housing connected to the body housing, and an electromagnetic valve configured to control supply of the compressed air to the drive mechanism, wherein the electromagnetic valve is arranged on an opposite side to the body housing, as seen in an extension direction of the grip housing.

A pneumatic nailer is provided comprising a working piston which is connected to a driving plunger for driving in a fastening means and which is subject to compressed air when a driving-in process is triggered, The nailer also includes a triggering device for initiating a driving-in process, a safety device configured to switch the nailer from a trigger-ready state to a locked state a control valve to control the pressure inside of the control chamber which includes a control valve member which is moveable along an adjustment path and a damper coupled to the control valve member.

A mechanical timer mechanism can include a driven gear mounted to a rotary damper and a drive gear operably coupled to the driven gear. In bump mode, movement of a trigger to its firing position can initially move the drive gear into its wind-up position. Thereafter, a contact trip can move the drive gear to its wind-up position and an actuator of the trigger to its firing position each time the contact trip is activated, unless the timing mechanism has timed out between firings. In sequential mode, the drive gear can be moved into a timer lock-out position which holds the contact trip in a bypass position in which the contact trip will not engage the actuator of the trigger unless the trigger is moved to its firing position prior to activation of the contact trip.

A fastener driver includes a drive blade movable from a retracted position to a driven position for driving a fastener into a work piece. The fastener driver further includes a gas spring mechanism for driving the drive blade from the retracted position to the driven position. The gas spring mechanism is moveable between a retracted state and a driven state. The fastener driver further includes a first return mechanism for moving the drive blade from the driven position toward the retracted position, and a second return mechanism for returning the gas spring mechanism toward the retracted state separately from movement of the drive blade.
