Abstract: A fastener-driving tool including a housing, a driving device associated with the housing and including a driver blade, a biasing member and a coupler attached to the driver blade and the biasing member, and a compound gear rotatably attached to the housing and in engagement with the coupler, where the compound gear is configured to rotate between a first position and a second position. The compound gear is rotated to the first position to move and secure the biasing member in a biased position when the driver blade is in a pre-drive position, and upon actuation, the biasing member is released from the biased position and biases the compound gear to move to the second position thereby causing the driver blade to move to a driven position for driving a fastener.

Abstract: A combustion tool is provided, including an engine with a ratio of cylinder volume to combustion chamber volume of at least 1.1.

Abstract: A pressurized fluid container for use with a fastener-driving tool, the container having an outer shell defining an inner chamber, having an open neck and an effective height, a closure sealingly engaged on the open neck, and a tube depending from the closure.

Abstract: A fuel delivery system for use with a combustion fastener driver including a cylinder head frame, the system includes a fuel cell with an outer shell having a closed lower end and an open upper end, a closure crimped over the upper end and defining an opening for accommodating a reciprocating valve stem, a fuel cell adapter frictionally engaging the closure and including a flange configured for suspending the fuel cell in a tool fuel cell chamber. The adapter includes a collar configured for receiving the valve stem and being suspended for restricted vertical movement relative to the flange. A stem receiver block is connectable to the cylinder head frame and includes a stem engagement portion configured for directly and sealingly engaging an end of the valve stem, the stem engagement portion being in fluid communication with an internal receiver passage constructed and arranged for delivering fuel to a combustion chamber.

Abstract: A fastener driver tool powered by a pressurized power source having a supply of compressed fluid includes a magazine associated with the tool for storing and supplying fasteners to a tool nose. A cylinder in the tool has a reciprocating piston associated with a driver blade sequentially engaging fasteners from the magazine as they are fed into tool nose. A control system is configured for directly electrically controlling a flow of compressed fluid for driving the piston.

Abstract: A fastener-driving tool including a housing, a driving device associated with the housing and including a driver blade, a biasing member and a coupler attached to the driver blade and the biasing member, and a compound gear rotatably attached to the housing and in engagement with the coupler, where the compound gear is configured to rotate between a first position and a second position. The compound gear is rotated to the first position to move and secure the biasing member in a biased position when the driver blade is in a pre-drive position, and upon actuation, the biasing member is released from the biased position and biases the compound gear to move to the second position thereby causing the driver blade to move to a driven position for driving a fastener.
