Abstract: A combustion-type power tool having a cooling arrangement for cooling a cylinder. The tool includes a housing, a cylinder head at one end of the housing, a push lever disposed at another end of the housing, and a combustion chamber frame including a base section and a head section. The head section has a disc like connecting portion extending from an end of the base section and a sleeve like abutment section extending from the connecting portion toward a cylinder head. A fan is disposed in a combustion chamber and is fixed to a rotation shaft of a motor supported to the cylinder head. The fan has fan blades. The fan blades define a widthwise center line in the axial direction of the rotation shaft. The center line is offset from the connecting portion and toward the push lever. The fan blades define widthwise edges in confrontation with the cylinder head. The widthwise edge is positioned in alignment with the connecting portion or offset therefrom toward the cylinder head.

Abstract: A combustion type power tool having an arrangement avoiding direct striking of a drive shaft against a cylinder head when combustion pressure is exerted. A motor is disposed at the cylinder head and includes a motor body and a drive shaft extending in an axial direction and protruding into a combustion chamber. A fan is connected to the drive shaft to be rotatable within the combustion chamber. A buffer piece made from an elastic material is supported to the cylinder head. The buffer piece is movable relative to the cylinder head in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction. The buffer piece is formed with a through-hole through which the drive shaft extends.

Abstract: A nail gun has a free end 19a and central potion of a trigger arm 19 positioned within a trigger 11, on an upper end 12a of a safety portion 12 and at a plunger 17, respectively. When the trigger 11 is pivoted on its pivot end 16, pivoting movement of the trigger 11 moves a pivot end 18 of the trigger arm 19 to press the central portion of the trigger arm 19 into contact with the plunger 17 and, with the plunger 17 serving as a fulcrum, to press the free end 19a downward against the upper end 12a of the safety portion 12. If downward movement of the safety portion 12 is obstructed when the trigger 11 is pivoted, the upper end 12a contacted by the free end 19a of the trigger arm 19 serves as a fulcrum around which the trigger arm 19 pivots with movement of the trigger 11, whereupon the central portion of the trigger arm 19 presses the plunger 17 inward so that an activation switch 10 activates a blade 7 to eject a nail through a nose piece 5.

Abstract: A combustion type nailing machine includes: a cylinder; a piston movably supported in the cylinder; a combustion chamber provided in an upper portion of the cylinder, the combustion chamber in which mixture of fuel and air is burned so as to drive the piston; a driver blade integrated with the piston, for ejecting a nail when the piston is driven; and at least two piston rings with which a seal between an outer periphery of the piston and an inner wall of the cylinder are maintained, the piston rings each having one opening portion. The piston rings are superimposed on each other such that the opening portions are shifted not to overlap with each other.

Abstract: A combustion-chamber frame is disposed in a housing of a combustion-type power tool and is movable in a longitudinal direction in interlocking relation to a push lever. The combustion-chamber frame is abuttable on a head portion to provide a combustion chamber in cooperation with the head portion and a piston. A fan is disposed in the combustion chamber and is connected to an output shaft of a motor so as to be rotatable with the output shaft for promoting turbulent combustion of air-fuel mixture. The fan and the combustion-chamber frame define, within the combustion chamber, a high turbulent-combustion region in which the turbulent combustion is rapidly generated and a low turbulent-combustion region outside the high turbulent-combustion region. A fin is disposed at at least one of the combustion-chamber frame, the head portion, and the piston to protrude into the combustion chamber. The fin is located within the low turbulent-combustion region.

Abstract: A combustion-type power tool includes a cylinder having a peripheral wall which has an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface. The peripheral wall is formed with an exhaust hole at a first axial position. A piston is reciprocally movable in an axial direction and is slidable in contact with the inner peripheral surface. A combustion-chamber frame is abuttable on a head portion to provide a combustion chamber in cooperation with the head portion and the piston. The piston allows the combustion chamber to be in fluid communication with an atmosphere through an upper space above the piston and through the exhaust hole when the piston is located at a bottom dead center. The fin is disposed at the outer peripheral surface and has a portion extending in a direction slanted in relation to the axial direction and oriented toward the exhaust hole.

Abstract: A combustion-type nail driver uses a motor for driving a fan. A motor holder formed from plastic accommodates the motor. A cylinder head has a motor holder receiving portion in which the motor holder is slidably movably disposed. A coil spring has one end secured to the motor holder and another end secured to the cylinder head to thereby support the motor holder. Initial acceleration applied to the motor when combustion occurs can be suppressed and impact imparted upon the motor can also be suppressed by friction between the outer periphery of the motor holder and the inner periphery of the motor holder receiving portion. A heat shielding plate is interposed between the lower end surface of the motor and the cylinder head in order to prevent hot air combustion gas from entering into the motor.

Abstract: To connect a motor shaft to a fan, a connection rod is used that is symmetrical in shape with respect to a longitudinal axis of the connection rod. The connection rod includes a first part formed with a hole in coaxial with the longitudinal axis, and a second part formed at least partially with a threaded portion. The motor shaft is attached to the connection rod by inserting the motor shaft into the hole of the first part of the connection rod. The fan is attached to the connection rod by inserting the second part of the connection rod into the center hole of the hub portion and supports the fan with a pair of nuts, one at one side of the hub portion and another at another side of the hub portion wherein the nuts are moved toward each other with the hub portion interposed therebetween.

Abstract: A combustion type power tool having a motor suspension arrangement capable of buffering a shock applied to a motor. An integral buffer member made from an elastic material is fixed to a head cap. The buffer member includes a motor storage section in which a motor casing is stored, and a plurality of buffer segments extending radially outwardly from the motor storage section and integrally therewith. Each radially outer end portion of each buffer segment is fixed to the head cap for floatingly supporting the motor storage section.

Abstract: A combustion type power tool providing enhanced workability and improved material yieldability. A combustion chamber frame is slidably movably disposed in a housing. A push lever is slidably movably supported to a nose extending from a lower end portion of the housing, and is abuttable on a workpiece. The combustion chamber frame and the push lever are associated with each other by a connection unit including arm sections and a connector section. A compression coil spring for biasing the push lever downwardly is interposed between the connector section and a cylinder disposed in the housing. The housing covers the entire arm sections, the connector section and the spring, so that these components are not directly accessible from an outside.

Abstract: A magazine for use with a nail gun includes a magazine body, a feeder, a nail gate, a wire, and a spring. The feeder presses nails supported in the magazine body to feed the loaded nails toward a nose-side end of the magazine body. The nail gate slidably disposed at a nail loading opening of the magazine body, and selectively allows insertion of long or short nails into the magazine body depending on whether it is slid into an upper or lower position. The wire and spring prevent sliding movement of the nail gate while nails are supported in the magazine body.
