A driving device, comprising a hand-held housing with a piston element arranged therein for transmission of energy to a fastening element to be driven in a driving direction, a propellant charge, and a combustion chamber, which is arranged between the propellant charge and the piston element and extends around a central axis, and an actuator, by which energy to be transmitted from the propellant charge to the piston element can be varied in such that the energy can be set, wherein the combustion chamber has an internal thread and a cylindrical guiding portion, wherein the actuator is arranged in the combustion chamber and has an external thread in engagement with the internal thread and a bearing for mounting the actuator in the guiding portion, wherein a thread gap spacing between the external and internal threads is greater than a bearing gap spacing between the bearing and the guiding portion.

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.

A driving device, comprising a hand-held housing with a piston element arranged therein for the transmission of energy to a fastening element to be driven in a driving direction, a propellant charge, and a combustion chamber, which is arranged between the propellant charge and the piston element and extends around a central axis, and an actuator, by which the energy to be transmitted from the propellant charge to the piston element can be varied in such a way that the energy can be set, wherein a venting channel connected to the combustion chamber can be exposed by means of a movable slide of the actuator, wherein the venting channel opens out into the combustion chamber by a vent opening, which can be partially or completely covered by the slide, and wherein a cross-sectional area of the vent opening increases in the driving direction.

A powered fastener driving tool such as a powder-actuated tool including a housing assembly including a side wall having a first outer section, a raised section, and a recessed section, the raised section including a rim that extends in an outermost plane of a side wall of the housing and a spring-loaded slidable power setting switch partially positioned in and partially extending from the housing. The spring-loaded slidable power setting switch includes a depressible button movable from a resting position in which an outer surface of the button extends outwardly beyond the plane in which the outer surface of the rim lies to a depressed position in which the outer surface of the button extends in a same or substantially same plane in which the outer surface of the rim lies.

Gas fixing tool, including at least one combustion chamber, a trigger, a device for injecting fuel into the at least one chamber, a member for actuating the device, and a bearing member intended to be brought to bear on a support material, characterized in that it further comprises a safety member configured to cooperate on the one hand with the actuating member and on the other hand with the trigger, so that the trigger is locked in its first position when the actuating member is in a first position.

The invention relates to a driving device comprising: a hand-held housing with a piston member arranged therein for transmitting energy to a securing element to be driven in; an interchangeable propellant charge and a combustion chamber arranged between the propellant charge and the piston member, said chamber extending around a central axis (A); and an actuator, by means of which the energy transmitted by the propellant charge to the piston member can be variably adjusted, wherein a blow-off channel connected to the combustion chamber can be exposed by means of a movable slide of the actuator and the slide comprises a body which completely encircles the central axis (A).

The invention relates to a driving-in device, comprising a handheld housing, a piston element received in a piston guide for transmitting energy from a propelling charge to a securing element to be driven, and a front part which is removably connected to the piston guide. The front part and the piston guide can be moved relative to each other parallel to a central axis (A) of the piston element, and the front part is released from the piston guide by rotating the front part relative to the piston guide by a release angle, wherein a torque barrier of a securing element is overcome upon rotating by the release angle.
