The invention relates to a driving device, comprising a hand-held housing having an energy transmission element accommodated therein for transmitting energy to a fastening element to be driven in, an exchangeable propellant charge and a combustion chamber arranged between the propellant charge and the energy transmission element, said combustion chamber extending about a central axis, wherein the combustion chamber is subdivided by means of a dividing member having a number of interruptions into a first subchamber adjoining the propellant charge and at least one second subchamber adjoining the energy transmission element, wherein an ejection region, enclosing a central axis, for the propellant charge is provided in the first subchamber, said ejection region extending between the propellant charge and a central region of the dividing member, wherein the ejection region is bounded at the central region of the dividing member by a closed surface of the dividing member.

Pyrotechnic driving device

The invention relates to a device for transmitting energy to a fastener, with a reaction chamber, an energy-transmission element that can move in a fastening direction for transmitting energy released in the reaction chamber to a fastener, a first supply channel opening into the reaction chamber for feeding a first reagent to the reaction chamber, wherein the first supply channel comprises a feeder device with a rotor and a feeder element for feeding the first reagent into the reaction chamber.

Device for transmitting energy to a fastener

A setting tool for driving-in nail-shaped fastening elements into hard constructional components and including a housing (10, 110), a guide cylinder (20, 120) displaceable in the housing (10, 110) in a direction opposite to a setting direction against a spring-biasing force, a drive piston (40, 140) axially displaceable in the guide cylinder (20, 120), and a pivotal resetting element (50, 150) having a first lever arm (51, 151) cooperating with the drive piston (40, 140) for resetting the drive piston (40, 140) to its inoperative position and a second lever arm (152) cooperating with the guide cylinder (20, 120) for displacing the first lever arm (151) in accordance with displacement of the guide cylinder (120).

Setting tool

An explosive powder charge operated fastening element setting tool has a hydropneumatic damping unit (17) and includes a housing part (1) forming a piston guide (5, 6) for driving fastening elements and a handle part (15) displaceable against the force of the damping unit (17) in the setting direction relative to the housing part (1). The handle part (15) supports a cylinder (18) containing a liquid medium (21) under gas pressure. The housing part (1) cooperates with a piston (23) displaceable in the cylinder (18) against the flow resistance of the liquid medium (21). The damping unit (17) has no moving valve parts. At least one through aperture (24) is provided for the liquid medium (21) flow between a front and a rear cylinder space when the piston (23) is displaced. The aperture (24) has a least cross-section (M) so that the liquid medium flowing into the front cylinder space as a fastening element is driven has an effective flow cross-section corresponding to the least cross-section of the aperture (21), while after the fastening element has been driven the effective flow cross-section of the aperture from the front cylinder space into the rear cylinder space is smaller than the least cross-section of the aperture.

Explosive powder charge operated fastening element setting tool

A compressed air gun comprises a plastic casing, in which a low-pressure cylinder is arranged beneath the gun barrel and a high-pressure cylinder is arranged behind the barrel, with a pressure release system between the cylinders. Two pistons are contained within the respective cylinders and are connected to a cocking lever each by a separate hinge rod. A series of catches and releases requires all operative steps to be completed in the correct sequence before firing to prevent overloading of the air pressure system and also to prevent accidents.

Compressed air weapon

A silencer for use with pistols with a fixed or tilting barrel. The design configuration is such that the sighting line is retained when the silencer is fitted. Handleability of the weapon is not seriously adversely affected by the design configuration and the lightweight structure.
