A powder actuated tool is used for driving a fastener along a striking path line in a longitudinal direction into a wall surface, and is adapted for loading therein a cartridge strip. The powder actuated tool has a smaller width than a length between a leading edge of a first loading one of cartridges and a trailing end of the cartridge strip.

An explosive discharge actuated tool includes a piston disposed in a barrel to be driven by a combustion gas for exerting a striking power to strike a fastener out of the barrel. A power adjusting unit is disposed to adjust an opening area of an exhaust port for the combustion gas, and includes an adjusting pin movable longitudinally to completely or partially close the exhaust port so as to adjust the striking power, and an engaging block coupled to the adjusting pin through a latch spindle to be moved transversely to allow or prevent movement of the adjusting pin relative to the exhaust port.

A fastener gun or nail gun utilizes a propellant cartridge having a centerfire primer made from thermite. The thermite is made from alternating layers of metal oxide and reducing metal, and includes one or more layers of carbide-containing ceramic. The primer ignites a propellant which may be a conventional single base or double base smokeless powder, or which may be thermite having a structure similar to the thermite of the primer. The primer may be initiated mechanically or electrically. The fastener gun is capable of applying a level of force similar to the force applied by conventional propellant cartridges, while avoiding inhalation of lead particles by the operator of the fastener gun.

The invention relates to a driving-in device comprising a driving-in piston which is guided in a cylinder for driving a nail element into a workpiece and comprising a combustion chamber which is arranged on the driving-in piston and which can be filled with an ignitable combustion gas mixture. An overpressure of the combustion gas mixture can be generated in the combustion chamber by a charging element, and the driving-in piston is sealed against an inner wall of the cylinder by a first seal during the driving-in movement. The driving-in piston is sealed from the combustion chamber by a second seal, which is loaded axially to a piston axis (A), in a starting position.

The invention relates to a driving device, comprising a hand-held housing having an energy transmission element accommodated therein for transmitting energy to a fastening element to be driven in, an exchangeable propellant charge and a combustion chamber arranged between the propellant charge and the energy transmission element, said combustion chamber extending about a central axis, wherein the combustion chamber is subdivided by means of a dividing member having a number of interruptions into a first subchamber adjoining the propellant charge and at least one second subchamber adjoining the energy transmission element, wherein an ejection region, enclosing a central axis, for the propellant charge is provided in the first subchamber, said ejection region extending between the propellant charge and a central region of the dividing member, wherein the ejection region is bounded at the central region of the dividing member by a closed surface of the dividing member.

A noise reduction nailer and a speed adjusting assembly are described. The speed adjusting assembly may comprise a power level adjust screw and a speed adjusting member matched with it. The speed adjusting member comprises a snap ring and a locate ring fixed on the snap ring. Slots with different heights are uniformly provided on a side wall of the locate ring. The power level adjust screw is composed of two speed adjusting rings with different diameters. A bulge is provided on an inner side wall of the large-diameter speed adjusting ring and the large-diameter speed adjusting ring is adapted to the locate ring. The speed adjusting assembly can adjust the shooting power of the nailer for different base bodies, and can use a steel ball to act on a small head cone of a piston to automatically reset the piston.
