Patent number: 8469250Abstract: An auto hammer with a striking device includes a striking rod and a clamping mechanism. The striking rod continually strikes a component to gradually insert the component into a workpiece. The clamping mechanism includes at least one clamping element, a biasing device, a bush and a sleeve, and the clamping elements are movable between a closed position and an opened position. The bush is arranged around the striking rod so as to prevent the nail head from becoming trapped in a gap which is formed after the clamping elements are entirely opened. The biasing device is arranged for biasing the bush toward the direction of striking the component. This clamping mechanism can reliably clamp nails or other components to facilitate user operation of the device.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2010Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Chervon LimitedInventor: Hongtao Zhou
