  • Publication number: 20220049736
    Abstract: A fastening element is provided, comprising a shank, which defines a driving-in direction, the shank having a front end, facing in the driving-in direction, and a rear end, facing counter to the driving-in direction, the shank having a periphery having a profile ridge that is inclined in relation to the driving-in direction at an acute angle. According to one aspect, the profile ridge has a front flank, facing in the fastening direction, and a rear flank, facing counter to the fastening direction, the front flank having a greater area content than the rear flank. According to a further aspect, the fastening element has a tip region, which has a convex portion.

  • Patent number: 9027816
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fastener driving tool comprising a tank (5) for storing a fuel, in particular liquefied petroleum gas, a combustion chamber (2) connected to the tank (5), wherein the combustion chamber (2) has a movable piston for powering a driving plunger, and a metering device (4) arranged between the tank (5) and the combustion chamber (2) wherein a defined quantity of fuel can be transported by means of the metering device (4) from a metering space (12) into the combustion chamber (2), wherein the metering device (4) comprises a thermomechanical element (15) by means of which the defined amount can be varied as a function of a temperature.

  • Publication number: 20130270319
    Abstract: The invention concerns a fastener driving tool comprising a tank for storage of a fuel, in particular liquefied gas, a combustion chamber connected to the tank, a piston that is movable in a cylinder for driving a driving ram, and at least one exhaust gas opening for ejection of exhaust gases after an ignition of a fuel/air mixture, where the development of the gas pressure of the combustion chamber is selectably reducible compared to a maximum pressure development, in order to affect a driving energy of the piston through the ejection, where, if a driving energy is reduced, the maximum pressure development after the ignition is applied over a first segment of travel of the piston.
