Abstract
A portable linear fastener driving tool is provided that drives staples, nails, pins, or other linearly driven fasteners. The tool uses a gas spring principle, in which a cylinder filled with compressed gas is used to quickly force a piston through a driving stroke movement, while a driver also drives a fastener into a workpiece. The piston/driver is then moved back to its starting position by use of a rotary-to-linear lifter, and the piston further compresses the gas above the piston, thereby preparing the tool for another driving stroke. In an illustrated embodiment, the tool exhibits an inverted U-shape tri-chamber design for the central cylinder, a left-side pressure chamber, and a right-side pressure chamber. In one illustrated embodiment, the lifter motor is configured to have its longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the working cylinder, thereby making this tool more compact. Other embodiments show the angle to be between 0-90 degrees.
