  • Patent number: 11759932
    Abstract: A compliant tip member for a fastening tool that includes a body having compressible and protective properties includes a forward section, a rearward section longitudinally opposite to the forward section and lateral sides connecting the forward and rearward sections. The compressible feature is in the form of a compression portion that forms at least a portion of the forward section. The compliant tip member forward section is compressible relative to the rearward section due to projections, such as wings or lobes that deform when the forward section is pressed against a workpiece by the nose of the fastening tool. The compliant tip member includes a recess within a surface between the forward section and the rearward section. The recess is shaped to receive the nosepiece of the fastening tool.
