- Fig. 1 illustrates a vacuum powered fastener driver 10 operable to drive fasteners such as nails, tacks, staples and etc. held within a magazine 14 into a work piece.
- the fastener driver 10 includes an outer housing 18 with a handle portion 22, and a user-actuated trigger 26 mounted on the handle portion 22.
- the fastener driver 10 does not require an external source of air pressure, but rather includes an on-board vacuum system 30 as shown in Fig. 2.
- the vacuum system 30 is powered by a power source such as a battery pack 34, which is coupled to a battery attachment portion 38 of the outer housing 18.
- alternative power sources such as an electrical cord may be used to provide power to the vacuum system 30.
- the fastener driver includes a drive blade 42 actuated by the vacuum system 30 to drive the fasteners into a work piece.
- the vacuum system 30 includes a variable-volume vacuum chamber 46 defined within a cylinder 50, between a drive piston 54 and an elevator or a reciprocating piston 58.
- the drive blade 42 is coupled to the drive piston 54, and the vacuum chamber 46 creates a driving force as a result of differential pressure acting on the drive piston 54.
- the reciprocating piston 58 is driven in a reciprocating manner by a drive assembly that is not shown.
- the drive asscmbly includes a motor 74, a transrnission that receives torque from the motor 74, a pinion 66 and connected to the drive piston 54 for reciprocation therewith.
- a vacuum is developed within the vacuum chamber 46 by moving the reciprocating piston 58 away fiom the drive piston 54, while the position of the drive piston 54 is held or maintained.
- a bumper 76 is positioned in a bottom portion of the cylinder 50 and absorbs impact forces from the reciprocating piston 58 and drive piston 54.
- the bumper 76 includes projections 77 that are received in corresponding recesses (not shown) formed in the reciprocating piston 58.
- the locking mechanism 300 includes a holder 302 which further includes a plurality of components that are designed to work in tandem with the drive blade’s shaft portion 301 so as to provide a locking function for preventing accidental actuation of the fastener driver 10.
- the holder 302 pivots about an axle 310, which is configured in a fixed portion near the front end of the fastener driver 10.
- the holder 302 is further connected with the same fixed portion by a resiliently deformable member 314 that is disposed between the fixed portion and a finger 312 on the holder 302.
- a spring 314 is used for providing a biasing force so as to urge the holder in a first direction.
- the holder 302 may include a plurality of locking members and in this embodiment, the holder 302 includes two locking members 304, 305 in the form of a pin, which are designed to interact with catches formed on the drive blade’s shaft portion 301.
- the holder 302 also has a tab portion 318 for being engaged with a trip portion 316 from the reciprocating piston 58 for urging the holder 302 into a second direction.
- the locking mechanism 300 relies on the automatic engagement between the pins 304, 305 on the holder 302 and the catches 306, 308 which are integrally formed on the drive blade 42.
- the pins 304, 305 may have circular cross sections or in some instances ellipsoidal cross sections.
- the pins 304, 305 are made of a high strength material or preferably an alloy that has high resistance to impact loading and fatigue. Also, the material used should also have high ductility so as to allow the user some leeway for noticing the conditions of the pins 304, 305 from the positioning of the drive blade 42 in the initial position. Brittle materials should be avoided as snapping of the pins 304, 305 would allow fasteners to be driven accidentally and thus becoming a hazard to the user.
- the pins 304, 305 are designed to engage with the catches that are integrally formed on the drive blade 42.
- the catches in this embodiment are two notches formed serially along the drive blade’s longitudinal direction.
- the two notches is consisting of a first notch 306 and a second notch 308.
- the first notch 306 is different to the second notch 308 in a way that the first notch includes a slanted edge, which is a ramp 307 in this embodiment as shown in Fig. 3.
- the second notch 308 only has a symmetrically formed profile.
- the two notches are spaced apart from each other and the ramp 307 forms a smooth transition between the first notch 306 and the second notch 308.
- Fig. 4 shows the locking mechanism 300 in a locking position whilst the drive blade 42 is in an initial position.
- the holder 302 is urged by a spring (not shown) and the result is that the two pins 304, 305 are fully engaged with the first and second notches 306, 308.
- the longitudinal movement of the drive blade 42 along its longitudinal axis is fully restricted by the locking mechanism 300 so that maximum safety is ensured.
- each pin 304, 305 is engaged with a respective notch and the pins 304, 305 are urged by the spring (not shown) through the holder 302 toward a locking position for restricting the movement of the drive blade 42.
- a user actuates the trigger (not shown) of the fastener driver for powering of the motor. Actuation of the trigger will cause the reciprocating piston to move toward the holder and allowing the trip portion on the reciprocating piston to engage the tab portion 318 on the holder 302.
- the holder 302 will be urged to a first direction, which in this embodiment is the anti-clockwise direction. The movement of the holder 302 will also cause the at least two locking members moving away from the at least two catches and therefore derestricting the movement of the drive blade 42.
- Fig. 7 shows a drive blade 42 to be in its driving position for driving a fastener. As the figure shown, the at least two catches are well beyond the at least two locking members on the holder 302.
- the reciprocating piston will move in the direction of the drive blade’s initial position and therefore causing the trip portion on the reciprocating piston to disengage from the tab portion 318 of the holder 302.
- Such disengagement will also rid of any biasing force acted on the tab portion 318 of the holder 302.
- the holder 302 in this embodiment will be urged in a second direction, which is the clockwise direction so as to move the at least two locking members in the direction of the drive blade 42.
- the first locking member 305 will be caught by the first catch 306 as shown in Fig. 8 during the return of the drive blade 42 toward its initial position.
- the locking member being caught by the first catch 306 will then be slid out of the first catch 306 along a ramp 307 that is formed between the first catch 306 and the second catch 308. The locking member will then slide towards to the second catch 308 as the drive blade continues returning to its initial position.
- both of the locking members 304 engage with a respective first and second catch 306, 308 and completing the locking function of the locking mechanism 300.
- the two locking members 304, 305 are both being urged toward the longitudinal edge of the catches 306, 308 to ensure that the drive blade 42 would be securely restricted for preventing any accidental movement.
- another fastener driver may have a locking mechanism that includes more than two locking members and more than two catches.
- the locking members and the catches will be similarly formed as the embodiment in Figs. 3-11 as in the locking members will also be pins that have either a circular cross-section profile or an ellipsoidal cross-section profile.
- the catches would also be integrally formed on the drive blade except that there will be at least two ramps being formed should there be three catches.
