Abstract
A fastener driving device comprising a combustion chamber, a piston and a fastener channel. The piston is coupled to the combustion chamber and slidable within a sleeve such that combustion gas expansion causes the piston to slide from a first position to a second position. The fastener channel is configured to receive a fastener, wherein when moving from the first to the second position, the piston is configured to engage the fastener. In one embodiment the device comprises a return chamber for receiving gas from the sleeve via a first vent, and a second vent coupled to the return chamber and for supplying combustion gas from the combustion chamber to the return chamber. In another embodiment, the combustion chamber comprises a housing portion, wherein combustion gas expansion acts on the housing portion such that the housing portion moves to open the combustion chamber and exhaust combustion gases.
