Patent ID: 6857549

Claim:
A nail driving gun comprising: a gun housing having a front open end that defines a nail-discharging passage extending in a longitudinal direction; a solenoid mounted in said gun housing and adapted to be actuated upon receiving a current from a power source, said solenoid including a coil member and a magnetic core which are aligned in said longitudinal direction and which are magnetically attracted to each other in such a manner that said magnetic core is movable in a frontward direction along said longitudinal direction and said coil member is movable in a rearward direction opposite to said frontward direction when said solenoid is actuated, said magnetic core being disposed rearwardly of said coil member and having a front end; a striking pin extending from said front end of said magnetic core through said coil member and into said nail discharging passage so as to be movable together with said magnetic core and so as to adapted to expel a nail from said nail discharging passage; an urging member mounted in said gun housing for restoring said magnetic core to a normal position after expelling the nail; and a shock-absorbing member mounted in said gun housing and disposed rearwardly of and resiliently abutting against said coil member so as to provide a shock-absorbing effect on said nail driving gun when said coil member is magnetically drawn by said magnetic core to move in said rearward direction.
