Publication number: 20110303726Abstract: According to one aspect of the application, a device for driving a fastening element into a substrate has an energy-transfer element for transferring energy to the fastening element. The energy-transfer element can move preferably between a starting position and a setting position, wherein the energy-transfer element is located, before a driving-in procedure, in the starting position and, after the driving-in procedure, in the setting position. According to another aspect of the application, the device comprises a mechanical-energy storage device for storing mechanical energy. The energy-transfer element is then suitable preferably for transferring energy from the mechanical-energy storage device to the fastening element.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2011Publication date: December 15, 2011Applicant: HILTI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Matthias Blessing, Harald Fielitz, Stefan Miescher, Karl Franz, Robert Spasov, Ulrich Schiestl
