Patent ID: 7407071

Claim:
A setting tool for driving fastening elements in a constructional component, comprising a piston guide ( 13 ) having a hollow chamber ( 14 ); a setting piston ( 20 ) axially displaceable in the hollow chamber ( 14 ) and having a piston head ( 23 ) and a piston stem ( 21 ) adjoining the piston head ( 23 ); a bolt guide ( 12 ) adjoining the piston guide ( 13 ) in a setting direction ( 40 ) of the setting tool ( 10 ); and a piston stop device ( 30 ) for braking the setting piston ( 20 ) and located at an end region of the hollow chamber ( 14 ) adjacent to the bolt guide ( 12 ), the piston stop device ( 30 ) having a damping element ( 31 ) supported against a bottom ( 15 ), a stop element ( 32 ) for the setting piston ( 20 ) and adjoining the damping element ( 31 ) in a direction of the hollow chamber ( 14 ), and an inertia body ( 33 ) cooperating with the stop element ( 32 ) and displaceable in a direction parallel to a longitudinal extent of the setting piston ( 20 ) between a first stop ( 35 ) and a second stop ( 36 ) both of which are connected with the stop element ( 32 ) and a distance between which, in a direction parallel to the longitudinal extent of the setting piston ( 20 ), is greater than a length of the inertia body ( 33 ) in a same direction by a length of a decoupling path ( 38 ).
