  • Combustion-powered fastener driving tool fuel cell assembly
    Patent number: 11287129
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a combustion-powered fastener driving tool fuel cell assembly including a fuel cell, fuel cell adapter, and fuel cell adapter cap for a combustion-powered fastener driving tool. The fuel cell, the fuel cell adapter, and the fuel cell adapter cap enable both the fuel cell adapter and the fuel cell adapter cap to be attached to a fuel cell and particularly a sealing member of the fuel cell in one efficient step. This single step process can be done manually or automatically, and is substantially more efficient and less time-consuming than the known fuel cell assemblies.
