Wire bending spring and a fastener driving tool with the same
A fastener driving tool includes a magazine unit, a handle, a striking plate, an energy restoring member and a wire bending spring disposed to a housing unit. The housing unit includes an inner housing assembly made from a plastic material, and an outer housing assembly made from a metal material and covering the inner housing assembly. The wire bending spring is biased for storing a striking energy for the striking plate, and includes an extending section and a backwinding section. The extending section has first and second ends. The backwinding section is connected with the second end, and extends and bends toward the first end to terminate at a terminal end portion. The ratio of a height to a width ranges from 1:1 to 1:1.6.
STAPLER
A stapler includes a main body, a magazine, a striker, and a driving portion. The main body encloses a receiving space and has an opening at the bottom of the front end thereof. The opening communicates with the receiving space. The magazine is arranged in the main body for receiving staples. The striker is arranged at the front end of the main body and is linearly slidable above the opening vertically. The driving portion is disposed on the main body and is connected to the striker to drive it to move downward to strike the staple out. The striker has a bottom face oriented frontward and downward so that an angle ranged from 3-15 degrees is defined between the bottom face and the horizontal plane.
Staple cartridges for forming staples having differing formed staple heights
A staple cartridge for use with a stapling device that has an actuator that is selectively actuatable in an axial direction and an anvil portion that is selectively movable between open and closed positions is disclosed. Various embodiments of the present invention include a cartridge body that movably supports first and second staple drivers. The staple drivers each support a staple thereon and serve to drive the staples into forming contact with the anvil upon actuation by the actuator. The various embodiments of the present invention enable the final formed heights of the staples to be varied without the need to use different sizes of staples.
Clinch fastener system
A clinch fastener mechanism including a pivoting base configured to be pivotally connected to a pneumatic fastener tool. The clinch fastener mechanism further includes a clinch arm pivotally connected to the pivoting base at a proximal end of the clinch arm; and a clinch plate disposed on a distal end of the clinch arm, wherein tool operates within three pressure zones. The system may also include a two-valve system which works by moving pressure throughout three specific zones. The first pressure zone has pressure introduced to it by the user attaching the tool to a pressure delivery source, such as a compressor, or other source. The second pressure zone may be used to operate the clinch arm or a safety mechanism. Mechanical safeties may be configured to prevent accidental or double firing of the tool.
ROBOTICALLY-CONTROLLED SURGICAL STAPLING DEVICES THAT PRODUCE FORMED STAPLES HAVING DIFFERENT LENGTHS
A surgical stapling device that comprises an end effector that is configured to receive various control motions from a robotic system.
