Definitions

  • This invention relates to a semi-automatic cartridgeoperated hand tool for firing fasteners into structures, employing an elongated magazine, provided with a row of cartridgeand fastener-receiving chambers, which is adapted to be bodily advanced, step-by-step, transversely through the tool, upon longitudinal displacement of an internal operating mechanism which is actuated by pressing the tool against a structure, thereby to bring successive cartridge chambers into an operative or firing position aligned with the barrel.
  • the present invention relates to cartridge-operated hand tools for firing fasteners such as rivets, pins, bolts, or other projectiles, into the surfaces of Walls or other structures. More particularly, the invention relates to a tool of this type which is so constructed that it may only be fired when the muzzle of the tool barrel is pressed against a surface.
  • the present invention consists in a cartridge-operated hand tool of the aforementioned type, which includes a tool housing, a barrel mounted in the housing operating means movable from a first position, to a second position in which the tool is conditioned for firing, by urging the muzzle of the tool against a surface, and an opening in the housing to accommodate an elongated magazine provided with a row of cartridge chambers, the operating means being co-operable with the magazine upon movement of said means between said first and second positions to bodily advance the magazine through the housing generally transversely of the barrel in a step-Wise manner.
  • the barrel is slidable telescopically relative to the tool housing, and is normally resiliently urged towards its fully extended position.
  • the barrel is retracted into the housing, the retracting movement of the latter serving to advance the magazine bodily step-wise, transversely through the tool, to bring successive loading cartridge chambers into line with the bore of the barrel and a firing pin associated with the firing mechanism.
  • the advance of the magazine is effected by operating means comprising, for example, pawls movable axially with the barrel and cooperable with corresponding surfaces of the magazine.
  • FIGURE 1 is a longitudinal section of the tool in its normal condition with the barrel fully extended relative to the housing;
  • FIGURE 2 is a partial horizontal section on the line AA of FIGURE 1 with the magazine unsectioned;
  • FIGURE 3 is a longitudinal section of the tool shown in FIGURE 1, but conditioned for firing with the barrel fully retracted;
  • FIGURE 4 is a partial horizontal section on the line B-B of FIGURE 3 with the magazine unsectioned
  • FIGURE 5 is an exploded perspective view of the nited States Patent 0 "ice barrel, firing pin block and magazine, shown in the preceding figures.
  • the hand tool comprises a housing formed in two parts, for example as light alloy castings.
  • a rear housing part 1 forms the stock of the tool which is provided with a hand-grip 2 and contains a firing mechanism 3.
  • the part 1 is detachably secured by co-operating screw threads 4 and set screws 5 to a tubular forward housing part 6 containing an axially slidable barrel 7.
  • the two housing parts 1 and 6, in the region between the firing mechanism 3 and the rearward end of the barrel 7 are formed with two slots (not shown), one in each side of the tool, which define a transverse passage to receive and locate an elongated, generally rectangular, magazine 8, so as to permit the magazine to slide bodily transversely through the housing during operation of the tool.
  • the barrel 7 has two bores 9, each provided, adjacent the muzzle of the barrel, with gas vents or ports 10.
  • a splinter or flash guard 11 Surrounding the muzzle is a splinter or flash guard 11 which forms an extension of an axially slidable sleeve 12 which extends between the barrel and housing part 6.
  • the sleeve 12 is retained on the barrel 7 by a ring 13 screwed onto the muzzle of the barrel, the sleeve 12 is normally urged into engagement with the ring 13 'by a compression spring 14- located between the sleeve 12 and a shoulder 15 formed Within the housing part 6.
  • This spring 14, via the sleeve 12 and ring 13 normally urges the barrel 7 into the fully extended position shown in FIGURE 1, in which a cylindrical enlargement 16 at the rearward end of the barrel 9 abuts the shoulder 15.
  • integral with and extending rearwardly from the cylindrical enlargement 16 towards the firing mechanism 3 are upper and lower arms 17 and 18, which are spaced apart vertically to accommodate the magazine 8 for bodily transverse sliding movement of the latter.
  • the arm 17, on its fiat downwardly facing surface adjacent the enlargement 16, carries a generally axially rearwardly extending finger or pawl 19 which is rockable about a pivot pin 20 by a limited amount determined by a second pin 21 which extends into an aperture 22 in the pawl 19 which is slightly larger than the head of the pin 21.
  • the upwardly facing surface of the lower arm 18 carries a pawl 23 in the form of a fixed pin or boss.
  • the two pawls 19 and 23 constitute the operating means for advancing the magazine 8 through the tool in a stepwise manner as will be described later.
  • the arms 17 and 18 also serve to transmit axial movement of the barrel 7 to the firing mechanism 3 to cock the latter.
  • This firing mechanism includes a firing pin block or breech block 24, shaped as shown in FIGURE 5, and having a fiat forward face 25 engageable with the rearward face 26 of the magazine 8, provided with two firing pinapertures 27.
  • the block 24 includes horizontally extending upper and lower faces 28 which are located between and engage the arms 17 and 18. At least the lower face 28 is recessed at 29 to provide a clearance for the lower pawl 23 when the barrel 7, and therefore the arms 17 and 18 slide rearwardly relative to the breech block 24.
  • the block 24 also includes a pair of arcuate lateral shoulders 30 which locate in correspondingly shaped axially extending channels 31 (FIGURES 2 and 4) in the housing part 1.
  • the breech block 24 is thus axially slidable but not rotatable relative to the part 1, and since the arms 17 and 18 of the barrel engage with the faces 28 of the block, the barrel is also prevented from rotating or rocking within the housing part 1.
  • the amount of axial movement of the breech block 24 is limited by integral ring segments 32 (FIGURE 5) which engage in recesses 33 in the housing part 1 (FIGURES 1 and 3).
  • a cavity 34 is provided in the rear face of the breech block 24, including two conical recesses 35, the apices of which comprise the firing pin apertures 27.
  • a correspondingly shaped firing pin 36 is free to float axially in the cavity 34, and has apair of conical cartridge-engaging projections 36a which are so dimensioned that their tips project through the two firing pin apertures 27 when the pin 36 is in its most forward position.
  • the breech block 24 is normally resiliently urged towards the muzzle of the tool by two transversely spaced compression springs 37 (FIGURES 2 and 4) mounted in longitudinally extending passages in the housing part 1, these springs engaging between the rear surfaces of the shoulders 30 of the breech block and a hammer block 38.
  • This hammer-block which, together with its associated components, also forms part of the firing mechanism 3, is detachably secured in the housing part 1 by set screws 39.
  • the hammer block 38 comprises a first cylindrical part 38a by means of which the block 38 is accurately located in the housing part 1, and a reduced diameter, forwardly extending, cylindrical part 38b.
  • a passage 40 extends in an axial direction through the block 38, and slidably mounted in this passage 40 is a firing pin hammer 41, normally resiliently urged towards the breech block 24, to a position in which a shoulder 42 on the hammer 41 abuts a ring 43 screwed into the mouth of the passage 40, by a hammer spring 44 acting between the shoulder 42 and a step 40a in the passage 40.
  • the cylindrical parts 38a and 38b are cut away rearwardly of the step 40a to form a slot 45 communicating with the passage 40, which slot, where it extends through the part 38a has an inclined roof 46.
  • Slidable axially on the part 38b of the hammer block is a tubular firing pin block 47, which is normally resiliently urged into engagement with the rear face of the breech block 24 (FIGURES l and 2) by a spring 48.
  • the firing pin block 47 has at its forward end an annular shoulder 49 which is en-gageable by the rearward end of the arms 17 and 18 when the barrel is retracted to the position shown in FIGURES 3 and 4.
  • a leaf-spring 50 is secured to the firing pin block 47 and extends rearwardly therefrom.
  • this leaf-spring 50 is folded over into a turned-up portion 51, and adjacent this portion 51 is a scar 52 in the form of a rivet having an inclined end, the sear being normally urged by the leaf-spring through the slot 45 into engagement with the firing pin hammer 41 adjacent a step 53.
  • a pair of arms 54 Projecting from the rear face of the hammer block 38 is a pair of arms 54 between which are pivotally mounted a pair of interengaging levers 55 and 56, rockable about pivot pins 57 and 58 respectively.
  • the lower lever 56 is slotted at 59, and within this slot 59 is located a recessed portion of a rod 60 slidable in a passage in the stock of the housing part 1, and biassed to the position shown in FIGURES l and 3 by a compression spring 61.
  • the rod 60 at its end remote from the lever 56, carries a trigger 62.
  • the levers 56 and 57, and the rear of the firing mechanism 3, are enclosed in a detachable end cap 63, formed, for example, as an alloy casting and held in place by screws 64.
  • the magazine 8 which is separate from the tool, comprises a rectangular elongated block which may be made from a light alloy, from a synthetic plastic material, or perspex.
  • This magazine is provided with two tiers or rows of cartridge chambers 65, each chamber being dimensioned to receive a cartridge and fastener (not shown), and each row, when the magazine is inserted into the tool, being in vertical alignment with one of the bores 9 in the barrel 7.
  • the chambers 65 of one row are vertically offset or staggered relative to the chambers of the other row as is clearly seen in FIGURE 5, and the rear face 26 of the magazine is formed with a transverse groove 66 in line with each row to preventthe apices of the portions 36a of the firing pin from engaging the magazine between the chambers 65.
  • FIGURE 5 As will also be seen from FIGURE 5,
  • the upper surface of the magazine is provided with a plurality of forwardly opening recesses 67 spaced from the forward edge of the magazine 8 by a relieved portion 68 and defining between them axially extending teeth 69 having inclined leading edges 70.
  • the teeth 69 are spaced from the right hand end of the magazine as viewed in FIGURE 5, by a relieved portion 71.
  • the lower surface of the magazine is also provided with a plurality of recesses 72 defined by teeth 73 having inclined leading edges 74.
  • These recesses 72 open rearwardly and are disposed directly adjacent the rearward edge of the magazine.
  • the teeth 73 are spaced from the left hand end of the magazine as viewed in FIG- URES 2 and 4 by a relieved portion 75, similar to the relieved portion 71 in the upper surface.
  • the recesses 67 and 72 in the upper and lower surfaces of the magazine are dimensioned to slidably receive the pawls 19 and 23 respectively, with a minimum of lateral play between the pawls and their associated recesses.
  • the two slots (not shown) in opposite sides of the tool housing, through which the magazine slides, are shaped and dimensioned to correspond to the outline of the magazine, so that the magazine can only be inserted into the tool the right way up, and with the cartridge chambers 65 facing in the correct direction.
  • the axial dimensions of said slots are such that the magazine is able to move back and forth bodily axially by a small amount.
  • the magazine 8 is first loaded with a cartridge and a fastener, e.g., a rivet (not shown) in each of its chambers 65, and is then inserted into the tool transversely from right to left as viewed in FIG- URE 2, i.e., with the end of the magazine having the relieved portion 75 leading, and with the barrel of the tool in its normal, extended position (see also FIGURE 1).
  • a fastener e.g., a rivet (not shown) in each of its chambers 65
  • the breech-block 24 is displaced rearwardly by a small distance, against the action of the springs 37 and 48, and in order to facilitate initial displacement of the breech block 24 as the magazine is inserted, the leading portion of the magazine may be slightly tapered.
  • Insertion of the magazine is halted when the first lower tooth 74 thereof, which is adjacent the relieved portion 75 butts against the side of the lower pawl 23.
  • the tool is now ready for operation, and its components are in the position shown in FIGURES 1 and 2, namely the barrel 7 and sleeve 12 are urged by the spring 14 to their fully extended position, in which the rearward ends of the bores 9 in the barrel 7 are spaced from the forward face of the magazine 8, and the upper pawl 19 is axially spaced from recesses 67 in the upper surface of the magazine.
  • the magazine is pressed resiliently against the forward end of the slot (not shown) in the housing by the breech block 24 and the firing pin apertures 27 are not in alignment with the cartridge chambers 65 in either row, so that even if the firing pin 38 were to be accidentally actuated, the apices of the firing pin would not contact the percussion cap of a cartridge but would enter the grooves 66 between the chambers, so that accidental firing of the tool is avoided.
  • the firing pin block resiliently engages the breech block 24, the sear 52 carried by the leaf-spring 50 engages behind the step 53 in the hammer 41, and the turned up portion 51 of the leaf-spring is disposed beneath the inclined roof 46 in the part 38a of the hammer block.
  • the hammer 41 is in its fully forward position.
  • the rear end of the barrel 7 engages the forward face of the magazine and the magazine together with the breech block is urged rearwards by a small distance thereby to ensure that the magazine is firmly engaged by both the barrel 7 and the breech block 24.
  • the step-wise advance of the magazine 8 brings the cartridge in the first chamber 65 in the upper row into alignment with the upper firing pin aperture 27, whilst the lower aperture 27 and the first lower chamber 65 are still out of alignment.
  • the upper lever 55 is rocked clockwise via the rod 60 and lower lever 56, and the finger 55a engages beneath the turned-up portion 51 of the leaf-spring and lifts the sear 52 out of engagement with the step 53 in the hammer 41.
  • the hammer is then impelled forward by its spring 44 and strikes the firing pin, impelling the firing pin forward so that the apices of its conical portions emerge through the firing pin apertures 27 and the apex of the upper projection strikes and detonates the cartridge in the first upper chamber.
  • the associated fastener is fired down the barrel, and penetrates the surface of the structure against which the muzzle of the tool is pressed.
  • the compressed gases in the barrel produced by the detonation are free to pass out of these port into the space between the barrel and the sleeve 12, and dissipate, thus substantially reducing recoil or kick of the tool, which would otherwise be transmitted to the operator.
  • the tool After firing, the tool is withdrawn from the surface and the barrel and splinter guard are spring urged to their FIGURES 1 and 2 position.
  • This movement causes the upper pawl 19 to be withdrawn axially from the first upper recess 67 and the lower pawl 23 to engage the inclined leading edge 74 of the first lower tooth 73, deflecting this tooth, and therefore the magazine bodily step-wise in the direction of the arrow in FIGURE 2.
  • the lower pawl enters the first lower recess 72, and locates the magazine in a position in which the cartridge chambers 65 in both rows are out of alignment with the firing pin apertures 27.
  • the extending movement of the barrel also permits the firing pin block 47 to return under spring pressure to its FIGURES 1 and 2 position, during which movement the sear 52 rides up over the rear of the hammer 41 and snaps in front of the step 53.
  • the magazine is bodily advanced through the tool, transversely of the barrel by one step, equal to one half of the transverse distance between any chamber in one row and its adjacent chamber in the other row every time the barrel is retracted, to bring a cartridge chamber first in one row and then in the other row into a firing position. Every time the tool is with drawn from the surface and the barrel extended, the magazine is also advanced transversely by the same size step, to a position in which the cartridge chambers in both rows are out of alignment with the firing pin apertures.
  • the axial spacing between the upper and lower pawls 19, 23 is made greater than the axial spacing between the leading edges 70, 74 of the upper and lower teeth of the magazine.
