Abstract: A combustion-powered nail gun drives nails into a workpiece when both a head switch and a trigger switch are turned ON while a safety switch is turned ON. The nail driving operation cannot be performed if the safety switch is not ON even if both the head switch and the trigger switch are ON. The head switch is turned ON when a push lever is urged against the workpiece. Fuel/air mixture in a combustion chamber is ignited when the head switch and the trigger switch are turned ON irrespective of an order in which the head switch and the trigger switch are turned ON, whereby “successive-shot driving” can be performed in which the trigger switch is maintained in its ON position while successively driving a plurality of nails at different locations of the workpiece by repeatedly pushing and releasing the push lever toward and away from the workpiece.

Abstract: In the combustion-type power tool, a first shelter wall and a second shelter wall are disposed to partially surround an area between an ignition plug and an ignition ground. Two gaps are provided between the first and second shelter walls. The first shelter wall extends radially outwardly from an outer peripheral surface of a motor boss, and also protrudes from an end face in an axial direction of a fan shaft. The first shelter wall has a lower end surface inclined such that an axial length between the end face and the lower end surface is gradually reduced toward radially outer end of the first shelter wall.

Abstract: A fuel gas has a gas including at least 40 weight % or more of 1-butene and propane, or at least 56 weight % or more of 1-butene and propylene. A combustion type power tool is driven by the fuel gas. A compressed gas container for a combustion type power tool has an inner side vessel filled with the fuel gas. When the fuel gas includes propane, 1-butene may be equal to or higher than 59 weight % and equal to or lower than 95 weight %. When the fuel gas includes propylene, the 1-butene may be equal to or higher than 70 weight % and equal to or lower than 96 weight %.

Abstract: A power tool includes a powered drive source, a speed reduction mechanism portion for transmitting a rotational power of the drive source, a striking mechanism portion for converting the rotational power of the speed reduction mechanism portion into a striking force, an end tool for outputting the striking force and a rotational force through the striking mechanism portion, and an impact damping mechanism for damping the impact of the end tool in a direction of rotation of the speed reduction mechanism.

Abstract: A combustion-type power tool includes a cylinder and a combustion chamber disposed on top of the cylinder that accommodates a gaseous mixture of existing air in the combustion chamber and fuel injected therein. A spark plug generates a spark to combust the gaseous mixture in the combustion chamber. A trigger switch produces the spark in the spark plug when operated. A piston is movably supported in the cylinder and driven by combustion in the combustion chamber. A driving blade is integrally formed with the piston for driving a fastener. A push lever is provided at one end of the housing and coupled with the combustion chamber frame. A temperature sensor is provided, for example, on the combustion chamber frame to sense the temperature thereof. A stopper is operated to adjust the position of the push lever to be shifted from an initial position when the sensed temperature is higher than a critical value.

Abstract: A combustion type power tool capable of performing cleaning to a cleaning target from outside of the tool without disassembly of a head cover and a head cap. In the head cap, first and second cleaning passages are formed. The first cleaning passage has one end open to an atmosphere and a closed inner end. The second cleaning passage has one end in communication with the first cleaning passage and another end open to a spark generating portion which is one of the cleaning target in the combustion type power tool. A check valve is disposed in the first cleaning passage for normally closing the one end of the first cleaning passage by a biasing force of a compression coil spring.

Abstract: A combustion type power tool capable of avoiding damage to seal members and a housing to prolong a service life, and capable of enhancing operability and workability. Temperature elevation of a combustion chamber frame due to combustion of a mixture of combustible gas and air is detected by a temperature sensor disposed in a housing. If the detected temperature exceeds a preset temperature, ignition of an ignition plug is prohibited by a prohibiting unit in spite of ON operation of a trigger switch. In this state, alarming is performed by a display to notify the user of the inoperable state of the tool. Similar control can be made when the temperature sensor is disposed at a cylinder, an exhaust cover and the housing.

Abstract: A combustion-powered nail gun drives nails into a workpiece when both a head switch and a trigger switch are turned ON while a safety switch is turned ON. The nail driving operation cannot be performed if the safety switch is not ON even if both the head switch and the trigger switch are ON. The head switch is turned ON when a push lever is urged against the workpiece. Fuel/air mixture in a combustion chamber is ignited when the head switch and the trigger switch are turned ON irrespective of an order in which the head switch and the trigger switch are turned ON, whereby “successive-shot driving” can be performed in which the trigger switch is maintained in its ON position while successively driving a plurality of nails at different locations of the workpiece by repeatedly pushing and releasing the push lever toward and away from the workpiece.

Abstract: A combustion-type power tool capable of preventing a sub-stream of air-fuel mixture from passing through a gap between an electrode and an opposing electrode section, and yet capable of providing a desirable ignition without lowering maintenance efficiency of the tool. The opposing electrode section opposes the electrode of an ignition plug body. A head cap supports the opposing electrode section at a position closer to an axis of a fan than the electrode to the axis. The opposing electrode section protrudes from the head cap outward in the radial direction of the fan. The side of the head cap defining a combustion chamber has three parts. A first part surrounds the rotation axis of the fan. A second part supports the ignition plug body. A third part located in the radially outer side of the second section with respect to the axis.

Abstract: A combustion-powered nail gun including an arrangement for promoting a piston returning motion to its upper dead center. A combustion chamber frame is movable toward and away from a head cover at which a spark plug is provided. When the combustion chamber frame is in close contact with the head cover, a combustion chamber is provided among the combustion chamber frame, the head cover, a part of a cylinder and a piston. After the piston reaches the lower dead center as a result of combustion, a thermal vacuum is provided in the combustion chamber for allowing the piston to move toward the upper dead center. The combustion chamber frame has a through-hole, and a valve is provided for normally closing the through-hole. A solenoid is provided to selectively open the valve for leaking an increased pressure in the combustion chamber through the through-hole during the return stroke of the piston.

Abstract: A combustion-powered driving tool for driving nails or other fasteners in which the starting characteristics of a motor in the tool are improved by varying the amount of voltage applied to the motor when starting the motor and during normal operations so that the motor is driven to reach the rotational speed required in normal operations quickly. Therefore, the combustion-powered driving tool does not require the use of an expensive low-inertia motor, but can use a relatively inexpensive core-type motor or the like with inferior starting characteristics, while improving the work efficiency and user-friendliness of the combustion-powered driving tool.
