Appl. No.:

11/256739

Inventors:

Ricardo Segura - Lake in the Hills IL, US
Bryan Schieler - Sycamore IL, US

Assignee:

Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL

International Classification:

B25C 1/04

US Classification:

227142, 227 8, 227130

Abstract:

An adjustable depth-of-drive mechanism for a fastener driving tool having a housing structure defining an axis, and a nosepiece extending generally axially from the housing structure, includes a lower work contact element having a sleeve for reciprocatingly receiving the nosepiece, an upper work contact element attached at a first end to the housing structure, a rotatable thumbwheel assembly having a first portion engageable with the lower work contact element, a thumbwheel assembly accessible by a user and a second portion having at least one detent assembly, and a retaining mechanism for retaining the thumbwheel assembly relative to the upper work contact element where the second portion is received by a second end of the upper work contact element, where during thumbwheel rotation relative to the first portion in either direction, the position of the lower work contact element is moved relative to the nosepiece.

International Classification:

F16K 27/00

US Classification:

227 10, 227156

Abstract:

A new and improved mounting system, for fixedly mounting an exhaust gas deflector component upon the upper cap member of a pneumatically-powered fastener-driving tool, comprises a fastener disposed internally within the upper cap member of the pneumatically-powered fastener-driving tool and not extending externally through the exhaust gas deflector component. In this manner, not only does the exhaust gas deflector component of the pneumatically-powered fastener-driving tool exhibit an aesthetically pleasing external appearance, but in addition, the absence of any externally visible fastener structure, extending through the exhaust gas deflector component, permits various indicia, such as, for example, the company logo, to effectively be incorporated upon the external surface portion of the exhaust gas deflector component.

Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL

International Classification:

B25C 1/006

US Classification:

227130, 227 8, 227142, 227156

Abstract:

A new and improved trigger control assembly () for switching the mode operation of the fastener-driving tool () between a sequential mode of operation and a bump firing mode operation. The trigger member () is provided with a pair of throughbores () for alternating accommodating a pivot pin () by which the trigger member () may be pivotally mounted upon the fastener-driving tool housing () at two different positions whereby the workpiece contacting element () of the fastener driving tool () will engage the actuation lever () of the trigger member () at different positions so as to achieve the sequential and bump-firing modes of operation.

Inventors:

Ricardo Segura - Lake in the Hills IL, US

Assignee:

Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL

International Classification:

B25C 1/04

US Classification:

227130, 227107

Abstract:

A new and improved trigger-actuated control valve assembly for use within a fastener-driving tool wherein upper and lower control valve housing members are adapted to be fixedly mated together by a bayonet-type connection defined by a pair of diametrically opposed lug members disposed upon the lower valve housing member and a ledge structure defined upon the upper valve housing member. In addition, the trigger-actuated control valve assembly is fluidically connected to the upper control air chamber of the fastener-driving tool by externally disposed air passages which do not comprise complex compound angles and are therefore able to be integrally cast within the fastener-driving tool housing along with a cavity for housing the new and improved trigger-actuated control valve assembly.

Appl. No.:

11/150167

Inventors:

Ricardo Segura - Lake In The Hills IL, US

International Classification:

B27F 7/17

US Classification:

227008000

Abstract:

A fastener-driving tool has a trigger control mechanism that comprises a vertically oriented selectable mode pushrod that is adapted to be rotated to either one of two predetermined positions or states. When the vertically oriented selectable mode pushrod is disposed at a first one of its angular positions or states, the fastener-driving tool is permitted to operate in accordance with a sequential firing mode of operation, whereas when the vertically oriented selectable mode pushrod is disposed at a second one of its angular positions or states, the fastener-driving tool is permitted to operate in accordance with a bump firing mode of operation.

Inventors:

Ricardo Segura - Lake In The Hills IL, US
Ryan Francis - Palatine IL, US

International Classification:

B25C 5/16

US Classification:

227120

Abstract:

A magazine assembly for a fastener driving tool having a nosepiece defining a fastener passageway includes an inner mobile member at least partially defining at least first and second chambers for receiving fasteners, and an outer stationary member at least partially surrounding the inner mobile member and engageable relative to the nosepiece. The inner mobile member is movable relative to the outer stationary member in a direction transverse to fastener travel in the magazine assembly.
