Abstract:
1. A driving tool comprising: a frame defining a rotational axis and a driver axis; a motor coupled to the frame; a flywheel rotatably driven by the motor about the rotational axis; a rail coupled to the frame; a driver having a driver body and a driver member, the driver body being configured to engage the flywheel, the driver member being fixedly coupled to the driver body, the driver member being the output member of the driving tool, the driver being slidably mounted on the rail for movement along the driver axis between a returned position and an extended position; and a follower coupled to the frame and movable between a first position, in which the follower drives the driver body into engagement with the flywheel to transfer energy from the flywheel to the driver to propel the driver relative to the frame along the driver axis, and a second position in which the follower, the driver and the flywheel are not engaged to one another.
