Patent ID: 7117955

Claim:
A method of: positioning a driver cap assembly over a proximal end of a shafted body, comprised of: providing a driver cap assembly comprised of: a body having a closed proximal end, an elongated shank, and an open distal end, wherein a first portion of the closed proximal end flares outward from a proximal end of the elongated shank towards a second portion of the closed proximal end, and wherein an interior of the elongated shank and the open distal end comprise a longitudinal bore, the longitudinal bore having an interior wall defining a longitudinal axis of the body, a driver sleeve having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinally extending shank from the first end towards the second end, an exterior surface of the longitudinally extending shank having a complimentary shape to mate with an interior surface of the longitudinal bore of the body such that when the exterior surface is mated with the interior surface, the longitudinally extending shank extends to the open distal end of the body, and the second end having a driver sleeve longitudinal bore, an interior of the driver sleeve longitudinal bore adapted to fit about a proximal end of a shafted body, wherein the driver sleeve longitudinal bore of the second end comprises a planar closed end; and applying an impact force to the proximal end of the driver cap assembly such that a distal end of the shafted body is driven into a surface.
