Patent number: 5181495Abstract: A portable, internal combustion powered work device, such as a device for setting or driving fastening elements into a receiving material, includes a combustion chamber (9) wherein an air-fuel mixture is ignited. A guide cylinder (8) and a piston (7) are axially displaceably guided within the combustion chamber. When the air-fuel mixture is ignited, the piston (7) is driven and, in turn, drives a fastening element into the receiving material. Following the ignition of the air-fuel mixture and the driving of the fastening element, the combustion chamber volume is reduced to approximately zero, whereby a purely mechanical clearing of the combustion chamber is effected without the necessity of an additional flushing air flow.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 1991Date of Patent: January 26, 1993Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hans Gschwend, Johann Buechel
