Driving tool

Abstract

A technique is provided which contributes to improvement in workability in a driving tool. The driving tool includes a cam switching memberand a driving mechanism. The cam switching membernormally holds a cam memberin an inoperative position, and when a user's driving operation is performed, it performs a switching movement to move the cam memberfrom the inoperative position to an operative position and further to return the cam memberfrom the operative position to the inoperative position. When the earn membermoves from the inoperative position to the operative position, the earn membermoves a driving memberfor the driving mechanism to a first position in a direction of a rotational axis of a rotating member. At this time, the driving mechanismmechanically engages with the driving memberfor the driving mechanism in the first position and performs a movement of driving a material to be driven. When the user's driving operation is performed, the cam switching memberis moved to a connection standby position in which the cam switching membercan be connected to a rotationally driven elementwhich rotates together with the rotating member. Further, when the driving memberfor the driving mechanism is placed in a predetermined rotational angular position in the direction of rotation of the rotating member, the cam switching memberis connected to the rotationally driven element
