Abstract: A tool is provided for applying fasteners to a workpiece. The tool as a magazine that carries multiple fasteners and is carried by a housing. A driver blade is provided to drive a lead fastener into a workpiece. The driver blade has a driving edge with a profile that includes driving projections, having curved contact surface for contact with curved edges of the fastener, and a relief portion therebetween that is recessed relative to both projections and contact surfaces. Further, the tool includes a lockout assembly for limiting movement of the driver blade and contact trip, thereby limiting activation of the motor. The pusher may include a pusher lockout surface that is designed for movement in an opposite direction to a feed direction by the contact trip as well as configured to slide over a locking art of the contact trip when the fasteners are empty or nearly empty.

Abstract: A ratcheting tool may include a motor coupled to an output drive mechanism by a clutch assembly. A torque selector may be rotatably coupled to a housing of the tool, to provide for selection of a maximum output torque. The clutch assembly may selectively disengage the motor and the output drive mechanism, or slip, in response to detection of an output torque level, or resistance torque, that is greater than or equal to the selected maximum output torque level.

Abstract: In a pneumatic-powered tool, exhaust air may be discharged radially from an air driven motor into a motor chamber. In the motor chamber, the exhaust air may follow a flow path around a periphery of the air driven motor, and be discharged into an exhaust chamber. From the exhaust chamber, the exhaust air may be discharged from the tool in a radial direction. A plurality of exhaust slots may be defined in a peripheral wall of the motor chamber, at a portion of the motor chamber that is adjacent to the exhaust chamber. The plurality of exhaust slots may guide exhaust air from the motor chamber into the exhaust chamber. A guide surface of the exhaust chamber may guide air out of the exhaust chamber in an axial direction.

Abstract: A household appliance includes a water inlet configured to connect the appliance to an external water supply; a pressure control device configured to prevent water entering the appliance from the water inlet from exceeding atmospheric pressure; a treatment container configured to treat household items with water; and a seal between the pressure control device and the treatment container configured to prevent gas flowing from the treatment container to the pressure control device.

Abstract: A folded sheet panel assembly includes a gap formed in a corner region which is filled with a corner insert member. A retention clip is attached to the corner insert to retain the corner insert once installed in the gap. The retention clip includes outwardly flaring wing portions which press upon inner surfaces of the sheet panel to fix the installed position of the corner insert. The corner insert includes a locking device which engages a surface of the retention clip to limit or prevent movement of the corner insert relative to the retention clip.
