Patent ID: 8387849

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a user operable handle having a first hand portion and second hand portion, the second hand portion rotatably coupled to the first hand portion: a first linear member having a proximate end coupled to the handle, the first linear member configured to guide movement of a fastener from the proximate end to a distal end of the first linear member; a second linear member having a proximate end coupled to the handle and oriented in substantially parallel alignment with the first linear member, the first linear member and the second linear member forming an unobstructed throat configured to accept material for bonding; a fastener driver coupled to the first linear member and coupled to the handle, the fastener driver configured to advance a fastener from the proximate end of the first linear member to the distal end of the first linear member, the fastener driver having a variable position along a length of the first linear member determined as a function of a relative position of the first hand portion and the second hand portion; and an intermediate link and a ternary link, the ternary link coupled to the second hand portion via the intermediate link, the ternary link being rotatably and translatably coupled to the first hand portion.
