  • Patent number: 11926027
    Abstract: A driving tool includes: a striking unit striking a fastener by being actuated in a first direction; a rack on the striking unit; a wheel; and a second transmission portion on the wheel and capable of being engaged with and released from the rack. The striking unit can be actuated in a second direction when the second transmission portion is engaged with the rack, and the striking unit can be actuated in the first direction when the second transmission portion is released from the rack. The second transmission portion includes: a tooth portion arranged along a rotation direction of the wheel and turned in a predetermined direction to be engaged with and released from the rack; and a movable piece actuated in the predetermined direction to be engaged with the rack and actuated in a different direction from the predetermined direction to be released from the rack.

  • Publication number: 20240025185
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a printer including: a feed roller configured to feed a print medium; a print head configured to pinch the print medium with the feed roller and to print on the print medium; and a biasing member configured to bias the print head in a first direction toward the feed roller. The print head is movable in the first direction between a first position and a second position. The first position is a position at which the print head can be removed when moved in a second direction. The second position being a position at which the print head cannot be removed when moved in the second direction.

  • Publication number: 20240017870
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a printer in which peeling issuing and continuous issuing can be switched. Peeling issuing allows a label to be issued after being peeled from a liner of a print medium with the label releasably attached on the liner. Continuous issuing allows the label to be issued without being peeled from the liner. The printer includes: a feed roller configured to feed the print medium; a print head configured to pinch the print medium with the feed roller and to print information on the label; and a peeling unit configured to hold a peeling roller that faces the feed roller in peeling issuing. The peeling unit is movable between a closed position and an open position, the closed position being a position at which the peeling unit at least partly covers the print head, the open position being a position at which the peeling unit does not cover the print head. When the peeling unit is at the open position, space for allowing mounting and removing the print head is formed.

  • Publication number: 20230406006
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a printer including: a feed roller configured to feed a print medium; a print head configured to pinch the print medium with the feed roller and to print on the print medium; at least a biasing member configured to bias the print head in a first direction toward the feed roller; and an abutting part that abuts on the print head. The print head comprises: a first side biased by the biasing member, and a second side that is an opposite of the first side, the second side facing the feed roller. When seen from a side view of the printer, a point of applying a biasing force of the biasing member to the print head is between a position at which the print head receives a reaction force from the feed roller and a position at which the abutting part supports the second side of the print head. The print head is swingable around a fulcrum at the abutting part in a clockwise swinging direction and a counterclockwise swinging direction in a side view of the printer.
