DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Before the present disclosure is described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, it should be noted herein that like elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the disclosure.
Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, a fastener driving tool 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure is shown to include a housing unit 1, a striking member 2, an energy-storing unit 3, a locking member 4, a handle unit 5, and an elastic member 7.
The housing unit 1 includes two housing halves 11 connected to each other and extending in a front-rear direction (X), a front cover 12 connected to and covering front sides of the housing halves 11, and a first pivot axle 13, a first fixed axle 14, a second fixed axle 15 and a limiting stop 16 all disposed between the housing halves 11.
The housing halves 11 and the front cover 12 cooperatively define a fastener striking opening 17 that is adjacent to a bottom end of the front cover 12. The first pivot axle 13 extends in a left-right direction (Y), and is located above and rearwardly of the fastener striking opening 17. The first fixed axle 14 is located below and forwardly of the first pivot axle 13. The second fixed axle 15 is spaced apart from and is located below and rearwardly of the first pivot axle 13 and the first fixed axle 14. The limiting stop 16 is located between the first fixed axle 14 and the fastener striking opening 17.
The striking member 2 is movably disposed on the front cover 12 for reciprocal movement in an up-down direction (Z), and has an elongated main body 21 located above the fastener striking opening 17, and a sliding portion 22 extending upwardly from and deflected forwardly of a top end of the main body 21. The main body 21 has an upper portion formed with an engaging slot 211 extending in the left-right direction (Y) and proximate to the sliding portion 22, and a connecting hole 212 disposed below the engaging slot 211.
The energy-storing unit 3 includes a torsion spring 31, an abutment seat 32, a sleeve member 33, and a return spring 34. The torsion spring 31 has a coil 311 sleeved on the second fixed axle 15 to be twistable about the second fixed axle 15, a force-receiving arm 312 extending forwardly from one end of the coil 311 toward the striking member 2, a bent arm 313 extending downwardly from one end of the force-receiving arm 312 that is opposite to the coil 311 and then bending inwardly, and a drive arm 314 extending forwardly from the other end of the coil 311 into the connecting hole 212 of the striking member 2. The force-receiving arm 312 and the drive arm 314 are opposite to each other in the up-down direction (Z). The drive arm 314 is located above the limiting stop 16. The bent arm 313 is disposed under the drive arm 314.
The abutment seat 32 is located below the bent arm 313, and has an abutment body 321, a receiving groove 322 extending inwardly from a top surface of the abutment body 321 for receiving and supporting the bent arm 313, and a stud 323 extending downwardly from a bottom surface of the abutment body 321. The sleeve member 33 is located below the abutment seat 32. The return spring 34 has two opposite ends respectively sleeved on the stud 323 and the sleeve member 33 for biasing the bent arm 313 upwardly.
Referring to FIG. 5, in combination with FIG. 3, the locking member 4 is rotatably movable relative to the first fixed axle 14, and includes a top plate 41, and two side plates 42 extending downwardly and respectively from left and right ends of the top plate 41. The top plate 41 has a front engaging end 411 detachably engaged to the engaging slot 211 of the striking member 2, and a rear positioning piece 43 extending upwardly from a rear end of the top plate 41 and then bending rearwardly. Each side plate 42 has a front notched portion 421 opening forwardly. The front notched portions 421 of the side plates 42 are rotatably sleeved around the first fixed axle 14. In this embodiment, one of the side plates 42 has a rear end formed with a sliding slot 422 extending in the front-rear direction (X), and the other side wall 42 has an extension arm 423 extending rearwardly from a rear end thereof and terminating with a hook-shaped end. The sliding slot 422 is opposite to the front notched portion 421 in the front-rear direction (X).
It should be noted that, in other variations of this embodiment, if the locking member 4 has a block shape, there may be only one pivot notch 421 at a front end thereof and one sliding slot 422 at a rear end thereof.
The handle unit 5 includes a pressing member 51 and a handle 52.
The pressing member 51 is pivotally mounted on the first pivot axle 13, and includes a base wall 511 located above the locking member 4, two connecting walls 512 extending downwardly and respectively from left and right ends of the base wall 511, a pair of pivot holes 516 respectively formed in the connecting walls 512 in proximity to front ends thereof and adjacent to the base wall 511 for extension of the first pivot axle 13 therethrough, a pair of through holes 517 respectively formed in the connecting walls 512 and located rearwardly of the pair of pivot holes 516, and a pressing rod 513 extending through the pair of through holes 517 and the sliding slot 422 and slidable along the sliding slot 422 along the front-rear direction (X). The extension arm 423 is hooked onto the pressing rod 513. The pressing rod 513 is fixed to the connecting walls 512 and is used for pressing down the force-receiving arm 312 of the torsion spring 31 and a rear side of the locking member 4 so as to rotate the locking member 4 relative to the first fixed axle 14.
The handle 52 extends rearwardly from rear ends of the connecting walls 512, and cooperates with the base wall 511 and the connecting walls 512 to define a through slot 515. A protruding piece 514 extends from a front end of the handle 52 toward the through slot 515. In this embodiment, the handle 52 is long, and has a downward curved shape.
The elastic member 7 is a compression spring, and has two opposite ends respectively sleeved on the rear positioning piece 43 of the locking member 4 and the protruding piece 514 of the handle unit 5 for biasing the locking member 4 toward the first fixed axle 14.
Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, in combination with FIG. 5, the fastener driving tool 100 of this disclosure is movable among an initial state (see FIG. 5), an energy-storing state (see FIG. 6), and a striking state (see FIG. 7).
As shown in FIG. 5, when the fastener driving tool 100 is in the initial state, a bottom end of the main body 21 of the striking member 2 is proximate to the fastener striking opening 17, the front engaging end 411 of the locking member 4 is engaged to the engaging slot 211, the drive arm 314 is away from the limiting stop 16, and a rear side of the handle 52 is away from the housing halves 11.
As shown in FIG. 6, when the handle 52 is pressed to shift the fastener driving tool 100 from the initial state to the energy-storing state, the force-receiving arm 312 is pressed down by the pressing rod 513, the return spring 34 is compressed by the bent arm 313 to store a return force, the locking member 4 is driven by the pressing rod 513 to rotate relative to the first fixed axle 14, and the pressing rod 513 is driven to slide forwardly along the sliding slot 422. Further, the front engaging end 411 of the locking member 4 is driven to move the striking member 2 upward and away from the fastener striking opening 17, and the striking member 2, in turn, drives the drive arm 314 to move upward such that the force-receiving arm 312 and the drive arm 314 of the torsion spring 31 move toward each other, so that the coil 311 of the torsion spring 31 stores a biasing force.
With reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, when the handle 52 is pressed down continuously to shift the fastener driving tool 100 from the energy-storing state to the striking state, the front engaging end 411 of the locking member 4 is driven to move upward and rearward so as to disengage from the engaging slot 211, and the coil 311 is freed to release the stored biasing force, so that the drive arm 314 can drive the striking member 2 to move down to the fastener striking opening 17 and strike a fastener (not shown) located at the fastener striking opening 17. At this state, the bottom end of the main body 21 of the striking member 2 is located at the fastener striking opening 17, the front engaging end 411 of the locking member 4 is away from the engaging slot 211, the drive arm 314 abuts against and is limited by the limiting stop 16, and the rear side of the handle 52 is proximate to the housing halves 11.
Referring to FIG. 8, in combination with FIG. 5, when the handle 52 is released from being pressed to shift the fastener driving tool 100 from the striking state to the initial state, the return spring 34 is freed to release the stored return force so as to urge the force-receiving arm 312 and the drive arm 314 of the torsion spring 31 upwardly. The upward movement of the force-receiving arm 312, in turn, drives the pressing rod 513 to slide rearward along the sliding slot 422, thereby pivoting the pressing member 51 about the first pivot axle 13 to move the rear side of the handle 52 upwardly and away from the housing halves 11, and thereby rotating the locking member 4 about the first fixed axle 14 to move downward the front engaging end 411 toward the sliding portion 22 of the striking member 2. Further, the drive arm 314 drives the striking member 2 to move upward. When the front engaging end 411 of the locking member 4 abuts against the sliding portion 22 of the striking member 2, the elastic member 7 is compressed between the locking member 4 and the handle 52. As the front engaging end 411 moves downward along the sliding portion 22 into the engaging slot 211, the elastic member 7 biases the locking member 4 to engage the front engaging end 411 with the engaging slot 211.
The fastener driving tool 100 of this disclosure mainly uses the handle unit 5 to press the force-receiving arm 312 and cause the coil 311 to store a biasing force. Then, the locking member 4 is driven to rotate so as to disengage the front engaging end 411 thereof from the engaging slot 211 of the striking member 2, so that the striking member 2 can move downward for performing a fastener striking stroke. However, in order to drive rotation of the locking member 4 so as to move the front engaging end 411 thereof upward and rearward during pressing of the handle 52, the force for pulling down the front engaging end 411 by the striking member 2, which is driven by the drive arm 314, must be overcome. Extra effort must thus be exerted by a user. Therefore, with the first fixed axle 14 being more proximate to the striking member 2 than the first pivot axle 13, during rotation of the locking member 4, it is only necessary to lift the striking member 2 a short distance so as to separate the front engaging end 411 from the striking member 2, thereby reducing the upward movement of the striking member 2 during pressing. The effect of saving labor and effort can thus be achieved.
Moreover, during pressing of the handle 52, the force for pushing upward the pressing rod 513 by the force-receiving arm 312 must also be overcome. The force of the force-receiving arm 312 for pushing upward the pressing rod 513 can be indirectly acted on the first fixed axle 14 by the side plates 42 of the locking member 4 and can be indirectly acted on the first pivot axle 13 by the connecting walls 512 of the pressing member 51 to reduce the force required for pressing the handle 52. Hence, the purpose of labor-saving operation of this disclosure can indeed be achieved.
Referring to FIGS. 9 to 11, the second embodiment of the fastener driving tool 100′ of this disclosure is identical to the first embodiment, and differs in that, in this embodiment, the front cover 12 is integrally connected to the housing halves 11 (only one housing half 11 is shown), and the housing unit 1 further includes a second pivot axle 18 located above the first pivot axle 13. The pressing member 61 of the handle unit 6 further includes two pivot connecting walls 624 extending rearwardly and respectively from rear ends of the connecting walls 622 thereof, and a roller 625 pivoted between the pivot connecting walls 624. The base wall 621 of the pressing member 61 has a through slot 626 extending in the front-rear direction (X). The protruding piece 623 of the handle unit 6 extends downwardly and forwardly from a rear edge of the through slot 626.
The handle 64 of the handle unit 6 is pivotally mounted on the second pivot axle 18 to press down the pressing member 61 of the handle unit 6 so as to rotate the pressing member 61 relative to the first pivot axle 13. The handle 64 includes a handle main wall 641, and two extension walls 642 extending downwardly and respectively from left and right front end portions of the handle main wall 641, and a pair of pivot holes 644 respectively formed in the extension walls 642 for receiving the second pivot axle 18. The handle main wall 641 has an inner wall surface 643 that has a concave shape opening downward and that abuts against the roller 625. The roller 625 is rotatable relative to the inner wall surface 643.
The two opposite ends of the elastic member 7 are respectively sleeved on the rear positioning piece 43 of the locking member 4 and the protruding piece 623 for biasing the locking member 4 to move toward the first fixed axle 14.
With reference to FIG. 10, when the fastener driving tool 100′ is in the initial state, a bottom end of the main body 21 of the striking member 2 is proximate to the fastener striking opening 17, the front engaging end 411 of the locking member 4 is engaged to the engaging slot 211, the drive arm 314 is away from the limiting stop 16, and a rear side of the handle 64 is away from the housing halves 11 (only one housing half 11 is shown).
When the fastener driving tool 100′ is in the energy-storing state, the operating relationship of the locking member 4, the striking member 2 and the torsion spring 31 is similar to that described in the first embodiment. Referring again to FIG. 6, in combination with FIG. 10, when the handle 64 is pressed to shift the fastener driving tool 100′ from the initial state to the energy-storing state, the roller 625 is driven to rotate relative to the inner wall surface 643 of the handle 64, the pressing rod 63 of the pressing member 61 is driven to press down the force-receiving arm 312 of the torsion spring 31, and the locking member 4 is driven by the pressing rod 63 to rotate relative to the first fixed axle 14. Further, the front engaging end 411 of the locking member 4 drives the striking member 2 to move upward and away from the fastener striking opening 17. The striking member 2, in turn, drives the drive arm 314 to move upward such that the force-receiving arm 312 and the drive arm 314 of the torsion spring 31 move toward each other, so that the coil 311 of the torsion spring 31 stores a biasing force.
When the handle 64 is pressed continuously to shift the fastener driving tool 100′ from the energy-storing state to the striking state, as shown in FIG. 11, the front engaging end 411 of the locking member 4 is driven to move upward to disengage from the engaging slot 211 of the striking member 2, while the coil 311 of the torsion spring 31 is freed to release the stored biasing force, so that the drive arm 314 can drive the striking member 2 to move down to the fastener striking opening 17 for performing a fastener striking stroke. At this state, the bottom end of the main body 21 of the striking member 2 is located at the fastener striking opening 17, the front engaging end 411 of the locking member 4 is disengaged from the engaging slot 211, the drive arm 314 abuts against the limiting stop 16, and a rear side of the handle 64 is proximate to the housing halves 11 (only one housing half 11 is shown).
To shift the fastener driving tool 100′ from the striking state to the initial state, the operating relationship of the locking member 4 and the striking member 2 is similar to that described in the first embodiment, so that a detailed description thereof is omitted herein.
During pressing of the handle 64, since the first fixed axle 14 is more proximate to the striking member 2 than the first pivot axle 13, the striking member 2 is only lifted a short distance during rotation of the locking member 4 to separate the front engaging end 411 from the striking member 2. Thus, because the upward movement of the striking member 2 can be reduced, the effort for pressing the handle 64 can also be reduced.
Further, during pressing of the handle 64, the force of the force-receiving arm 312 for pushing upward the pressing rod 63 can be indirectly acted on the fixed pivot 14 by the side plates 42 of the locking member 4, can be indirectly acted on the first pivot axle 13 by the connecting walls 622 of the pressing member 61, and can be indirectly acted on the second pivot axle 18 by the extension walls 642 of the handle 64, so that the force for pressing the handle 64 can be reduced.
In summary, the first and second embodiments of this disclosure can indeed achieve the purpose of operating this disclosure with less effort.
In the description above, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details have been set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that one or more other embodiments may be practiced without some of these specific details. It should also be appreciated that reference throughout this specification to “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” an embodiment with an indication of an ordinal number and so forth means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic may be included in the practice of the disclosure.
