  • Patent number: 8308038
    Abstract: A part clamp is temporarily held in a short cylindrical portion provided on a contact arm of a nailing machine and is nailed to a building body or the like by the nailing machine. The part clamp is provided with a base portion having a through hole at its center for inserting a nail therethrough, and an engaging portions for engaging with the short cylindrical portion. When the part clamp is pushed in the axial direction of an injection port of the nailing machine, the part clamp is temporarily held in the short cylindrical portion. The load to push the part clamp to engage with the short cylindrical portion is lower than the load to push the contact arm to slide along the injection port.

  • Patent number: 8267299
    Abstract: A driving piston 7 is provided so as to be slidable in an up-down direction within a driving cylinder 6 disposed within a body 1. A movable sleeve is fitted on the outer peripheral side of the driving cylinder 6 on the cylinder so as to be movable in the up-down direction. When the movable sleeve 11 is moved upward to abut against a cylinder head 10 provided in the upper direction, a sealed combustion chamber 5 is formed. When combustible mixed gas is explosively burnt within the combustion chamber 5, high-pressure combustion gas acts on the driving piston 7 to thereby impulsively drive the piston, whereby a fastener is driven out by a driver 8 coupled on the lower surface side of the driving piston 7. Elastic members 15 are disposed between the movable sleeve 11 and the cylinder head 10. The elastic members 15 bias the movable sleeve 11 downward.

  • Patent number: 7308995
    Abstract: A nailing machine includes a switch operating member 40 for setting to switch respective modes of single striking and continuous striking, and pivot restricting mechanism for restricting a contact lever 34 for operating a valve stem 19 of a start valve 15 from being pivoted in cooperation with the switch operating member 40 set to switch to the single striking mode. By the pivot restricting mechanism, an amount of pivoting the contact lever 34 at a position of operating to draw a middle of a trigger lever 31 in the single striking mode is restricted, and a valve stem 19 is maintained to maintain a state of operating to make the start valve 15 ON. Therefore, a reaction of the nailing machine in the continuous striking is reduced, further, dribble in the single striking mode is prevented from being brought about. In addition thereto, an erroneous operation in connecting an air chuck is prevented.

  • Patent number: 7308996
    Abstract: An injection nozzle 21 for injecting a combustible gas into an annular combustion chamber 10 formed above a driving cylinder 4 is formed so as to face the interior of the combustion chamber 10, in which a rotary fan 24 for mixing a combustion gas supplied into the combustion chamber 10 and air is provided. A vortex generator 33 is formed in an upstream side of the injection nozzle 21 in an air flow formed in the combustion chamber 10 by the rotary fan. Vortexes are generated near the injection nozzle 21 in the combustion chamber 10 by the vortex generator 33, so that the mixing of the combustion gas and air is promoted.
