【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、例えば、釘打機のような固着具打込機、特に、固着具打込機におけるトリガ装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
固着具打込機の本体に根元部が軸支されたトリガレバーと、トリガレバーの先端側に軸支され、トリガバルブのバルブピンを押さえ得るようにトリガレバーの根元部の方に延びたトリップレバーと、固着具打込機のノーズの先端部からトリガレバー近くまで延び、ノーズ先端部が打込対象物に押しつけられない限りトリップレバーをトリガバルブピンを押込める有効作動位置には保持しない安全アームとを有する固着具打込機のトリガ装置は知られている。安全アームが設けられるのは、固着具が打ち込まれる対象物に打込機のノーズが押し当てられていない状態では固着具が打ち出される事故を防止するためである。安全アームは打込機のノーズ先端からトリガレバー付近まで延びており、トリガレバー側の先端は打込機のノーズがパネル等の対象物に押し付けられたときトリガレバー側に移動してトリップレバーを有効作動位置に保持してトリガ装置の作動を可能にする。
【0003】
かかる安全アームを有する打込機においては、その安全アームの機能を利用して2つの打込み方法がある。すなわち、一般に単発打ちと呼ばれるトリガレバーを引くたびに1本ずつ打込む方法と、連続打ちと呼ばれる安全アームを押しつけるたびに打込む方法がある。単発打ちは、打込対象物にノーズ先端部を押しつけた後にトリガレバーを引き、棒状の打撃部材を駆動して釘等の固着具を打込対象物に打込み、次にトリガレバーを解放してノーズの押しつけも解除し、トリガレバーを引くたびに1発ずつ釘等を打込む。連続打ちは、トリガレバーを引いた状態で打込対象物の所定の位置にノーズ先端部を押しつけるものである。この場合には、トリガレバーが予め引いてあるのでノーズ先端部を押しつけるたびに釘等を打込むことができ、押しつけだけで多数の固着具を連続的に打込むことができる。この連続打ちは、打込みの時間が短縮できるので多用されている。しかし、打込対象物が打込み時の振動を吸収できずに打込んだときの反動でノーズが打込対象物から一旦離れて直ぐに打込対象物に再押付けされる場合には、打撃部材が一旦復帰して次の釘等を同じ箇所に打込んでしまう惧れがある。これは、打込対象物を傷つけたり、工具の中で釘等が詰まってしまって、その修復に手間がかかったり、更には工具を駄目にしてしまうこともある。このため、打込対象物及び作業の状況に応じて、連続打ちと単発打ちとが選択される。
【0004】
上記のように、安全アームを利用して単発打ちと連続打ちとを選択することができるが、連続打ちでは作業効率が重視され、単発打ちの場合には、二重打ちという誤射の防止が重視される。しかし、単発打ちの場合であっても、打込対象物が相当に硬いものなどの場合、瞬時ではあってもノーズが打込対象物から離れて上がっていた安全アームが一旦下がって直ぐに上がる動作をすることがある。これは、連続打ちのときの二重打ちと同じ結果となり好ましくない。すなわち、単発打ちでも連続打ちの場合のような二重打ちの惧れがある。このような、単発打ちにおける二重打ちを防止するため、トリガレバーの引き代を調整して、トリガバルブのバルブピンの押込み長さを調整するトリガ装置がある。このトリガ装置では、単発打ちにおいて二重打ちの不具合を防止できるものの、トリガレバーを引いた後において安全アームを動作させると固着具を1発発射してしまう。単発打ちの場合、安全アームの動作の前にトリガレバーを引いても、固着具は発射されるべきでないから、このトリガ装置の単発打ち動作は、不完全なものとなっている。
【0005】
単発打ちにおける二重打ちを防止して単発打ちをより確実にできるようにし、安全性の向上を図る固着具打込機が、特開平3−111179号公報に開示されている。この特開平3−111179号公報に記載のトリガ装置には、トリガレバーを旋回可能に支持する軸部を、トリガレバーの先端の方に一定長さずらす移動手段が設けられ、この移動手段が、トリガレバーをひいたままノーズ先端部を打込対象物に押付ける毎に固着具を打込む連続打ち動作とノーズ先端部を打込対象物に押付けて且つトリガレバーの引き操作を行うときにだけ固着具を打込む単発打ち動作とを切換える打込動作切換手段となっている。特に、トリガレバーの支持軸部をトリガレバーの先端側に移動させた単発打込動作位置においては、トリガレバーを引いたままでノーズの押しつけが解除されるとトリップレバーが非有効作動位置に移動し、単発打ちにおける二重打ちを防止している。このトリガ装置では、トリガレバーを引いた後において安全アームを動作させても固着具を発射することはなく、単発打ち動作を確実に行っている。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記公報掲載のトリガ装置は、トリガレバーの旋回中心となる軸部が移動するのでトリガレバー全体が移動することになる。このため、作業者は単発打込動作と連続打込動作とを切換えるたびに操作感覚に違和感があり、打込操作に狂いを生じることがある。また、トリガレバーの移動に伴ってトリップレバーの位置も移動しその旋回範囲が変化することとなるため、駆動するバルブピンに対する位置が相対的に変化することになる。この変化に対処するための構成は、各部材の寸法精度を厳しくすることを要求し、組立の精度も厳しくなっている。更に、単発打込動作を行う場合、トリガレバーを先に引いた後にノーズ先端を打込対象物に押圧したとき、固着具の打込みはないのであるが、ノーズ先端を打込対象物に押圧したままで、トリガレバーを解放して再度トリガレバーを引いても、固着具の打込みをできないことが分かった。そのため、トリガレバーの解放だけでなく、ノーズ先端を打込対象物から離して、打込動作を最初からやり直すという面倒さがあった。
【0007】
従って、本発明の目的は、連続打込動作と単発打込動作とを切換えることができる固着具打込機において、単発打込動作を確実に行うだけでなく、トリガレバーの旋回中心を移動させる形式のトリガ装置の課題を解消することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決する手段】
上記課題を解決するため、本発明は、固着具打込機の本体に根元部が軸支されたトリガレバーと、トリガレバーの先端側に軸支され、トリガバルブのバルブピンを押込み得るようにトリガレバーの根元部の方に延びたトリップレバーと、固着具打込機のノーズの先端部からトリガレバー近くまで延び、ノーズ先端部が打込対象物に押しつけられない限りトリップレバーをトリガバルブピンを押込める有効作動位置には保持しない安全アームと、トリガレバーをひいたままノーズ先端部を打込対象物に押付ける毎に固着具を打込む連続打ち動作とノーズ先端部を打込対象物に押付けて且つトリガレバーの引き操作を行うときにだけ固着具を打込む単発打ち動作とを切換える打込動作切換手段とを有する固着具打込機のトリガ装置であって、前記打込動作切換手段は、トリガレバーの軸部に近い打込機本体において該軸部とほぼ平行に延びる旋回軸に旋回可能に支持された打込動作切換レバーから成り、該打込動作切換レバーは、前記旋回軸から安全アームの先端及びトリップレバーの先端に係合するように延びた連続打込動作部分と、該連続打込動作部分に前記旋回軸の軸方向に並んで旋回軸から安全アームの先端及びトリップレバーの先端に係合するように延びるが前記連続打込動作部分より短く形成された単発打込動作部分とを備え、更に、該打込動作切換レバーを前記旋回軸の軸方向に移動させて前記連続打込動作部分を有効にする連続打込動作位置または前記単発打込動作部分を有効にする単発打込動作位置に選択的に支持する選択手段が設けられており、前記連続打込動作部分の先端は、安全アーム先端の運動がトリップレバーの先端に伝達されるように安全アームの先端とトリップレバーの先端とに係合できる位置にあって、トリガレバーをひいたままノーズ先端部を打込対象物に押付けるとトリガバルブのバルブピンが駆動され、及び、ノーズ先端を打込対象物に押付けた状態でトリガレバーの引き操作を行うとバルブピンが駆動されるように、形成され、前記単発打込動作部分の先端は、安全アーム先端に係合できる位置であって且つ安全アームが該単発打込動作部分の先端を押圧係合した状態でトリガレバーを引き操作したときだけトリップレバーの先端に係合する位置にあり、ノーズ先端を打込対象物に押付けた状態でトリガレバーの引き操作を行うときだけバルブピンが駆動されるように、形成され、前記単発打込動作部分の長さは、トリガレバーの引き操作を行った後にノーズ先端を打込対象物に押付けた場合安全アーム先端が該単発打込動作部分を押圧係合しても該部分はトリップレバーには係合せず、またノーズ先端を打込対象物に押付けたままの状態でトリガレバーを解放するとトリップレバーが該単発打込動作部分の先端を越えてバルブピン側に旋回できる長さであって、更に、このトリップレバーが旋回した状態でのトリガレバーの再引き操作によって単発打込動作部分の先端が旋回したトリップレバーの先端に係合してバルブピンを駆動することができる長さである、ことを特徴とする固着具打込機のトリガ装置を提供する。
【0009】
上記の通り、本発明によるトリガ装置において、トリガレバーの支持軸部は固定したままであるので、連続打込動作と単発打込動作とを切換えても、操作感覚に違和感を生ずることはなく、駆動のためのトリップレバーの旋回範囲が変化することもなく、単発打込動作を行う場合、トリガレバーを先に引いた後にノーズ先端を打込対象物に押圧したとき、ノーズ先端を打込対象物に押圧したままで、トリガレバーを解放して再度トリガレバーを引くと、固着具の単発打ちを可能にしており、連続打込動作において、トリガレバーをひいたままノーズ先端部を打込対象物に押付けるとトリガバルブのバルブピンが駆動されて固着具を打込むことができ且つノーズ先端を打込対象物に押付けた状態でトリガレバーの引き操作を行ってもバルブピンが駆動されて固着具を打込むことができ、連続打込動作が確実にでき、単発打込動作においては、ノーズ先端を打込対象物に押付けた状態でトリガレバーの引き操作を行うときだけバルブピンが駆動されるので、確実に単発打込動作ができ、この単発打込動作において、トリガレバーを先に引いた後にノーズ先端を打込対象物に押圧したときは、ノーズ先端を打込対象物に押圧したままで、トリガレバーを解放して再度トリガレバーを引くことによって固着具が対象物に打込まれ、作業者には一旦ノーズを対象物から離して再度位置決めする手間が必要でなくなる。
【0013】
請求項に記載のトリガ装置において、前記選択手段は、打込動作切換レバーを、その旋回軸の軸方向に、前記連続打込動作位置と前記単発打込動作位置との間で移動させるように、打込機本体にスライド可能に設けた棒状の選択部材で形成され、該棒状選択部材には、打込動作切換レバーを選択した前記位置に保持する保持手段が係合しているので、打込動作の切換えは、棒状選択部材をスライドさせるだけの簡単な操作で行える。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施例を図について説明する。先ず、図1を参照すると、固着具打込機の一例である釘打機1は、内部にシリンダを有する本体2を備え、該本体2と一体的にハンドル3が取付けられている。周知のように、本体2内のシリンダには、固着具(本例では釘)を打込むための打撃部材5を支持するピストンが、図1の上下方向にスライド可能に収容されている。本体2の先端(下端)には、ノーズ6が設けられ、打撃部材5はこのノーズ6を貫通して移動し、ノーズ6に給送される釘をノーズ先端から対象物に打ち込む。ハンドル3には、固着具の一例である釘の連結体をコイル状に収容するマガジン7が支持される。ノーズ6には送り機構によりマガジン7から釘が送り込まれる。これらの機構はよく知られているので、これ以上の詳細な説明は省略する。
【0015】
図2及び図3に詳細に示すように、ハンドル3には、打撃部材5を打込むのを制御するためにトリガ装置9が設けられている。トリガ装置9は、ハンドル3に設けられたトリガバルブ10と、本体2に根元部が軸支されたトリガレバー11とを包含しており、基本的には、トリガレバー11の操作によって、トリガバルブ10から本体2の上部のメインバルブに加圧空気を送ったり加圧空気を排気したりして、打撃部材5の打込み及び復帰を制御している。また、打込対象物に釘打機のノーズが押し当てられていない状態では釘の打ち出しを阻止する安全機構が設けられている。その機構は、トリガレバー11の先端側に軸支され、トリガバルブ10のバルブピン13を押さえ得るようにトリガレバー11の根元部の方に延びたトリップレバー14と、ノーズ6の先端部からトリガレバー11まで延び、ノーズ先端部が打込対象物に押しつけられない限りトリップレバー14をトリガバルブピン13を押し上げる有効作動位置には保持しない安全アーム15とを含む。トリップレバー14の枢支ピン17には、トリップレバー14の先端を上方に軽く付勢するばね18が設けられており、ばね18の他側は、トリガレバー11の指当て部の内壁に当接している。従って、トリップレバー14の先端側は常時バルブピン13に軽く当接している。また、このばね18の作用により、本体2の枢支用軸部19を中心に旋回するトリガレバー11が、非操作時には、図1〜3において時計方向に付勢され、トリガレバー11の先端は下方に位置する。安全アーム15の上端側と本体2との間にはコイルばね21が設けられて安全アーム15を下方に付勢しており、安全アーム15を押上げる力すなわちノーズ6の先端を打込対象物に押付ける力が加わらない限り、安全アーム15は、図1〜3に示す、下方に下げた位置にある。なお、バルブピン13にはコイルばね13aが設けられ、通常時はバルブピン13を下方に押下げるように付勢している。
【0016】
トリガ装置9には、トリガレバー11をひいたままノーズ6の先端部を打込対象物に押付ける毎に釘を打込む連続打込動作と、ノーズ先端部を打込対象物に押付けて且つトリガレバー11の引き操作を行うときにだけ固着具を打込む単発打ち動作とを切換える打込動作切換手段が設けられている。本発明において、打込動作切換手段は、釘打機本体2の、トリガレバー11の枢支用軸部19に近い位置に、該軸部19とほぼ平行に延びる旋回軸22に旋回可能に支持された打込動作切換レバー23で成る。この打込動作切換レバー23は、旋回軸22に旋回可能に支持されるだけでなく、旋回軸22の軸方向にスライド可能に支持されている。打込動作切換レバー23は、上記のように、連続打込動作と単発打込動作とを切換えるものであり、そのために、連続打込動作部分25と単発打込動作部分26とを有し、本実施例では両部分25及び26は一体成形されている。連続打込動作部分25は、旋回軸22から安全アーム15の先端27及びトリップレバー14の先端29に係合するように長く延びて形成されている。単発打込動作部分26は、旋回軸22の軸方向にみて連続打込動作部分25に並んで形成されており、旋回軸22から安全アーム先端27及びトリップレバー先端29に係合するように延びているが、連続打込動作部分25より短く形成されている。すなわち、連続打込動作部分25は、単発打込動作部分26より、突出部分30の分だけ長い。なお、打込動作切換レバー23の旋回軸22には、ばね22aが設けられており、該レバー23の先端側の部分を安全アーム15の先端27の側に押付けるように付勢している。
【0017】
更に詳しくは、連続打込動作部分25は、先端の突出部分30が、安全アーム15の上昇運動をトリップレバー14に伝達するように安全アーム先端27とトリップレバー先端29とに係合できる位置にある。従って、トリガレバー11をひいたままノーズ6の先端部を打込対象物に押付けると、アーム先端27に押上げられた連続打込動作部分25の突出部分30がトリップレバー14を介してトリガバルブ10のバルブピン13を駆動する。また、ノーズ先端を打込対象物に押付けた状態でトリガレバー11の引き操作を行っても同様にバルブピン13が駆動される。
【0018】
短い長さの単発打込動作部分26は、その先端が、安全アーム先端27に係合できる位置で且つ該安全アーム先端27によって押圧された状態でトリガレバー11を引き操作したときだけトリップレバー14の先端29に係合する位置にある。従って、ノーズ6の先端を打込対象物に押付けた状態でトリガレバー11の引き操作を行うときだけバルブピン13が駆動される。そして、単発打込動作部分26の長さは、先にトリガレバー11の引き操作を行った後にノーズ先端を打込対象物に押付けるとトリップレバー14の先端29には係合せず、前記操作の後トリガレバー11を解放するとトリップレバー14が該単発打込動作部分の先端を越えてバルブピン13側に旋回できる程度の短さではあるが、その旋回後のトリップレバーの先端には係合できる長さに形成されている。従って、トリガレバー11の再引き操作によって単発打込動作部分26の先端は、トリップレバー14の先端29にバルブピン13を駆動するように係合できる。
【0019】
更に、打込動作切換レバー23を、旋回軸22に沿ってスライドさせて、連続打込動作部分25または単発打込動作部分26を選択的に有効にする選択手段が設けられている。この選択手段は本体2にスライド可能に設けた棒状の選択部材31で成る。選択部材31は、旋回軸22に隣接して該旋回軸22に平行にスライドするように、本体2に設けられている。選択部材31には、打込動作切換レバー23の根元部分の突出部33を受け入れる凹部34が形成されて、選択部材31は、そのスライドによって打込動作切換レバー23を旋回軸22の軸方向にスライドできるように打込動作切換レバー23に連結される。これによって、打込動作切換レバー23を、旋回軸22の軸方向に、連続打込動作部分25がトリップレバー14の先端29に係合可能な連続打込動作位置と、単発打込動作部分26がトリップレバー14の先端29に係合可能な単発打込動作位置との間で移動させることができる。例えば、図2の矢印35の方向に選択部材31をスライドさせると、打込動作切換レバー23は、連続打込動作部分25を有効にする連続打込動作位置になる。図3の矢印37の方向に選択部材31をスライドさせると、打込動作切換レバー23は、単発打込動作部分26を有効にする単発打込動作位置になる。更に、図2に示されるように、棒状の選択部材31には、打込動作切換レバー23を選択した位置(連続打込動作位置または単発打込動作位置)に保持する手段が設けられている。図示の実施例では、選択部材31の連続打込動作位置及び単発打込動作位置に対応した位置には、切込み38及び39が形成され、これらの切込みに係合するボール41と、ボール41を切込み38及び39の方向に押圧するばね42とから成るボールクリック手段が、本体2の側に設けられている。
【0020】
動作について、先ず、連続打込動作の場合を、図4(a) 〜(e) 及び図5(a) 〜(e) を参照しながら説明する。連続打込動作の場合、棒状の選択部材31が図2の矢印35の方向に押圧され、図2のように、打込動作切換レバー23が、連続打込動作部分25を有効にする連続打込動作位置にされる。従って、図4及び図5においては、打込動作切換レバー23の連続打込動作部分25だけを示している。図4(a) は連続打込動作の初期状態を示す。この初期状態において、連続打込動作部分25の先端(突出部分30)は安全アーム15の先端(27)に係合し、トリップレバー14の先端(29)はトリガバルブのバルブピン13に接触している。図4(b) 〜(e) は、トリガレバー11をひいたままノーズ6の先端部を打込対象物に押付けたり離したりして、安全アーム15を押上げたり戻したりする連続打込動作を示している。(b) においてトリガレバー11を引き操作し、(c) において安全アーム15を押上げると、この押上げ運動は、連続打込動作部分25を反時計方向に旋回させ、この連続打込動作部分25の突出部分30によってトリップレバー14の先端が押圧されて、トリップレバー14が枢支ピン17を中心に時計方向に回動しバルブピン13を駆動させる。これによって、図1の本体2のメインピストンの背面に圧縮空気が供給され、打撃部材5が釘をノーズ6から打ち出して打込対象物に打込む。図4(d) において、ノーズの先端部を打込対象物から離して安全アーム15を下方に戻すと、連続打込動作部分25もばね22a(図3参照)によって時計方向に旋回し、トリップレバー14の押圧がなくなり、バルブピン13が戻って、打撃部材5が復帰する。(e) において、再度、安全アーム15を押上げると、連続打込動作部分25が再度反時計方向に旋回し、トリップレバー14の先端が押圧されてバルブピン13を駆動させ、打撃部材5が釘を打込む。このようにして、トリガレバー11をひいたままノーズ先端部を打込対象物に押付けたり離したりすることによって連続打込動作が行われる。
【0021】
図5の(a) 〜(e) は、ノーズ先端を打込対象物に押付けた状態でトリガレバー11を引いたり離したりする連続打込動作を示している。図5(a) は図4(a) と同じ初期状態を示す。図5(b) において、ノーズ先端を打込対象物に押圧して安全アーム15を押上げ、連続打込動作部分25を反時計方向に旋回させ、その先端をトリップレバー14の先端に係合させる。次に、(c) においてトリガレバー11を引くとトリップレバー14は連続打込動作部分25に係合した先端を中心に時計方向に回動上昇して、バルブピン13を駆動させる。これによって、打撃部材5が駆動されて釘がノーズ6から打ち出され打込対象物に打込まれる。(d) において、トリガレバー11を解放すると、トリップレバー14が下降して(b) と同じ状態に戻り、トリップレバー14の押圧がなくなり、バルブピン13が戻って、打撃部材5が復帰する。(e) において、再度トリガレバー11を引くと、トリップレバー14が再度上昇し、バルブピン13を駆動させ、打撃部材5が釘を打込む。このようにして、ノーズ先端を打込対象物に押付けた状態でトリガレバーを引いたり離したりすることにより、連続打込動作が行われる。
【0022】
単発打込動作の場合を、図6(a) 〜(f) 及び図7(a) 〜(e) を参照しながら説明する。単発打込動作の場合、棒状の選択部材31が図3の矢印37の方向に押圧され、図3のように、打込動作切換レバー23が、単発打込動作部分26を有効にする単発打込動作位置にされる。従って、図6及び図7においては、打込動作切換レバー23の、短いほうの単発打込動作部分26だけを示している。図6(a) 及び図7(a) は、いずれも単発打込動作の初期状態を示す。この初期状態において、単発打込動作部分26の先端は安全アーム15の先端に係合し、トリップレバー14からは大きく離れている。また、トリップレバー14はバルブピン13に接触している。
【0023】
単発打込動作とは、ノーズ先端部を打込対象物に押付け且つトリガレバーの引き操作を行うときにだけ釘等の固着具を打込む動作である。先ず、図6の(b) において、釘打機1のノーズ6が、打込対象物に押し当てられて、安全アーム15が押上げられて、単発打込動作部分26を反時計方向に旋回させる。しかし、単発打込動作部分26は短いので、この状態では、単発打込動作部分26の先端はトリップレバー14の先端に係合していない。次に、(c) において、トリガレバー11を引くと、トリガレバー11は枢支用軸部19を中心に旋回し、トリップレバー14の全体がその旋回に伴って旋回し、この旋回によってトリップレバー14の先端が単発打込動作部分の先端に係合する。トリガレバー11の旋回の続行により、単発打込動作部分の先端に係合したトリップレバー14は、単発打込動作部分に係合した先端部を中心に反時計方向に回動上昇し、バルブピン13を駆動させ、これによって、打撃部材5が駆動されて1発の釘がノーズ6から打ち出され打込対象物に打込まれる。次に、ノーズ先端を打込対象物から離すと、安全アーム15が下方に移動し、単発打込動作部分26も時計方向に旋回する。この旋回によって、トリップレバー14の先端との係合が外れて、バルブピン13のコイルばね13aの押下げ力によって、バルブピン13はトリップレバー14とともに下方に復帰して、打撃部材5も復帰する。この状態から、(e) に示すように、トリガレバー11を解放すると、(a) の初期状態となる。しかし、釘を打込んだときの反動等でノーズが打込対象物から一旦離れて直ぐに打込対象物に再度押しつけられる場合がある。(f) はその再押付けを示している。トリガレバー11引いたままの状態でのノーズの再押付けによって、安全アーム15が押上げられて、単発打込動作部分26が反時計方向に旋回しても、(f) に示すように、既にトリップレバー14の先端は単発打込動作部分26の先端より下方に位置しており、単発打込動作部分26はトリップレバー14に係合せず、釘が発射されることはない。すなわち、単発打込動作が確実に保証されている。
【0024】
次に、単発打込動作において、図7(a) の初期状態から、図7(b) に示すようにトリガレバー11を先に引いた場合を説明する。(b) において、トリガレバー11を引くと、トリガレバー11は軸部19を中心に旋回し、トリップレバー14の全体がその旋回に伴って旋回しようとするが、バルブピン13のコイルばね13aの押下げ力によって、トリップレバー14が押下げられる。次に、(c) において、ノーズを打込対象物に押し当てて安全アーム15を押上げると、単発打込動作部分26は反時計方向に旋回する。単発打込動作部分26は既述の通り短く形成されているので、単発打込動作部分26の先端は、トリップレバー14の先端に係合しないまま、トリップレバー14を越えて上方に移動する。従って、トリガバルブのバルブピン13は駆動されず、釘の打込みはなされない。これによって、トリガレバーを先に引いた状態でノーズ先端を何かに押付けた場合の不用意な釘の発射(すなわち誤射)を防止できる。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a fastener driving machine such as a nail driver, and more particularly to a trigger device in a fastener driving machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A trigger lever whose base is pivotally supported by the main body of the fastener driving machine, and a trip lever that is pivotally supported at the tip of the trigger lever and extends toward the base of the trigger lever so that the valve pin of the trigger valve can be pressed And a safety arm that extends from the tip of the nose of the fixing tool driving machine to the vicinity of the trigger lever, and does not hold the trip lever in the effective operating position for pressing the trigger valve pin unless the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven. A triggering device for a fastener driving machine having the following is known. The safety arm is provided in order to prevent an accident in which the fixing tool is driven out in a state where the nose of the driving machine is not pressed against the object into which the fixing tool is driven. The safety arm extends from the tip of the nose of the driving machine to the vicinity of the trigger lever. The tip of the trigger lever moves to the trigger lever when the nose of the driving machine is pressed against an object such as a panel, and the trip lever is Hold in the effective operating position to enable operation of the trigger device.
[0003]
In a driving machine having such a safety arm, there are two driving methods using the function of the safety arm. That is, there is a method of driving one by one each time the trigger lever is pulled, which is generally called single shot, and a method of driving each time the safety arm is pressed, called continuous stroke. For single shots, press the nose tip against the object to be driven, pull the trigger lever, drive the rod-shaped striking member to drive a fixture such as a nail into the object to be driven, and then release the trigger lever. Release the nose pressure and drive a nail, etc., once each time the trigger lever is pulled. In the continuous driving, the tip of the nose is pressed to a predetermined position of the driving object with the trigger lever pulled. In this case, since the trigger lever is pulled in advance, a nail or the like can be driven each time the tip of the nose is pressed, and a number of fixing tools can be driven continuously only by pressing. This continuous driving is frequently used because the driving time can be shortened. However, in the case where the nose is once pushed away from the driving object and immediately pressed against the driving object by the reaction when the driving object cannot absorb the vibration at the time of driving, the striking member is There is a risk that after returning, the next nail or the like will be driven into the same location. This may damage the object to be driven in, or a nail or the like may be clogged in the tool, and it may take time to repair the tool, or even use the tool. For this reason, continuous driving and single shot are selected according to the object to be driven and the situation of the work.
[0004]
As described above, it is possible to select single shots and continuous shots using the safety arm, but work efficiency is important for continuous shots. Emphasized. However, even if it is a single shot, if the object to be driven is fairly hard, even if it is instantaneous, the nose is lifted away from the object to be driven. Sometimes This is not preferable because it results in the same result as double hitting in continuous hitting. That is, there is a risk of double shots as in the case of single shots or continuous shots. In order to prevent such double hitting in a single shot, there is a trigger device that adjusts the pulling length of the trigger lever to adjust the pushing length of the valve pin of the trigger valve. Although this trigger device can prevent a double hitting problem in a single shot, if the safety arm is operated after pulling the trigger lever, the fixing tool is fired once. In the case of a single shot, even if the trigger lever is pulled before the operation of the safety arm, the fastener should not be fired, so the single shot operation of the trigger device is incomplete.
[0005]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-111179 discloses a fixing tool driving machine that prevents double hits in single shots to make single shots more reliable and improves safety. The trigger device described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-111179 is provided with a moving means for shifting a shaft portion for pivotally supporting the trigger lever toward the tip of the trigger lever by a predetermined length. Every time the nose tip is pressed against the object to be driven while the trigger lever is pulled, only when the fixing tool is driven and when the nose tip is pressed against the object and the trigger lever is pulled. It is driving | operation driving | operation switching means which switches the single-shot driving | operation operation | movement which drives a fixing tool. In particular, in the single shot operation position where the support shaft of the trigger lever is moved toward the tip of the trigger lever, the trip lever moves to the ineffective operating position when the nose is released while the trigger lever is pulled. Prevents double shots in a single shot. In this trigger device, even if the safety arm is operated after pulling the trigger lever, the fixing tool is not fired, and the single shot operation is reliably performed.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the trigger device described in the above publication, the entire trigger lever moves because the shaft portion that is the pivot center of the trigger lever moves. For this reason, every time the operator switches between the single driving operation and the continuous driving operation, the operator feels uncomfortable, and the driving operation may be out of order. In addition, the position of the trip lever also moves with the movement of the trigger lever and the turning range of the trip lever changes, so that the position with respect to the valve pin to be driven changes relatively. The configuration for coping with this change requires that the dimensional accuracy of each member be strict, and the assembly accuracy is also strict. Furthermore, when performing a single shot operation, when the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven after the trigger lever has been pulled first, there is no driving of the fixing tool, but the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven. It was found that even if the trigger lever is released and the trigger lever is pulled again, the fixing tool cannot be driven. Therefore, not only the release of the trigger lever but also the trouble of separating the nose tip from the object to be driven and starting the driving operation from the beginning.
[0007]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to not only perform the single driving operation reliably but also move the turning center of the trigger lever in the fixing device driving machine capable of switching between the continuous driving operation and the single driving operation. The object of the present invention is to solve the problem of the trigger device.
[0008]
[Means for solving the problems]
  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a trigger lever whose root is pivotally supported on the main body of the fixing tool driving machine, and a trigger that is pivotally supported on the distal end side of the trigger lever so that the valve pin of the trigger valve can be pushed in. The trip lever that extends toward the base of the lever and the tip of the nose of the fastener driving device extends to the vicinity of the trigger lever, and unless the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven, push the trip lever against the trigger valve pin. A safety arm that is not held in the effective operating position where it can be inserted, and a continuous driving operation that drives the fixing tool each time the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven while the trigger lever is pulled, and the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven. And a trigger driving device for a fixing tool driving machine having a driving operation switching means for switching between a single shot operation for driving the fixing tool only when the trigger lever is pulled. The driving operation switching means is composed of a driving operation switching lever supported on a turning shaft extending substantially parallel to the shaft portion in the driving machine main body close to the shaft portion of the trigger lever, and the driving operation switching lever is A continuous driving operation portion extending from the swivel shaft so as to engage with the tip of the safety arm and the tip of the trip lever; and the safety arm from the swivel shaft aligned with the continuous driving operation portion in the axial direction of the swivel shaft. A single-shot driving portion that extends to engage the tip of the trip lever and the tip of the trip lever, but is shorter than the continuous driving portion, and further, the driving operation switching lever is arranged in the axial direction of the pivot shaft. Selection means for selectively supporting at a continuous driving operation position for enabling the continuous driving operation portion by moving to a single driving operation position for enabling the single driving operation portion or the single driving operation portion is provided.And the tip of the continuous driving portion is in a position where the tip of the safety arm can be engaged with the tip of the trip lever so that the movement of the tip of the safety arm is transmitted to the tip of the trip lever, and the trigger lever is When the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven while being pulled, the valve pin of the trigger valve is driven, and when the trigger lever is pulled while the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven, the valve pin is driven. Thus, the tip of the single shot operation portion is formed at a position where it can be engaged with the tip of the safety arm, and the trigger lever is pulled with the safety arm pressing and engaging the tip of the single shot operation portion. Only when operated, the valve pin is driven only when the trigger lever is pulled while the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven. The length of the single driving operation part is formed so that the tip of the safety arm presses the single driving operation part when the tip of the nose is pressed against the target after the trigger lever is pulled. Even if engaged, the part does not engage with the trip lever, and when the trigger lever is released with the tip of the nose pressed against the object to be driven, the trip lever moves past the tip of the single shot operation part. The length of the valve can be swung to the valve pin side.Furthermore, when the trip lever is swung, the tip of the single-stroke operation part is engaged with the tip of the swivel lever by re-pulling the trigger lever. Is the length that can be driven,There is provided a trigger device for a fastener driving machine characterized by the above.
[0009]
  As described above, in the trigger device according to the present invention, since the support shaft portion of the trigger lever remains fixed, even when switching between the continuous driving operation and the single driving operation, there is no sense of incongruity in the operation feeling. The turning range of the trip lever for driving may change.TheWhen performing a single shot operation, when the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven after pulling the trigger lever first, the trigger lever is released while the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven, and the trigger lever is again When you pull theIn continuous driving operation, when the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven while the trigger lever is pulled, the valve pin of the trigger valve is driven to drive the fixing tool, and the object of the nose is driven Even if the trigger lever is pulled while pressed, the valve pin is driven and the fixing tool can be driven, and continuous driving operation can be ensured. In single driving operation, the tip of the nose is driven. Since the valve pin is driven only when the trigger lever is pulled while pressed against an object, a single shot operation can be performed reliably. In this single shot operation, the tip of the nose is driven after the trigger lever is pulled first. When pressing against the object to be inserted, the fixing tool is driven into the object by releasing the trigger lever and pulling the trigger lever again with the tip of the nose pressed against the object to be driven. No longer need the trouble of positioning once again to release the nose from the object to the person.
[0013]
  Claim2In the trigger device according to claim 1, the selection means drives the driving operation switching lever in the axial direction of the pivot axis so as to move between the continuous driving operation position and the single driving operation position. It is formed of a rod-shaped selection member slidably provided on the main body of the machine, and the rod-shaped selection member is engaged with a holding means for holding the driving operation switching lever at the selected position. Can be switched by a simple operation of sliding the rod-shaped selection member.
[0014]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, referring to FIG. 1, a nailing machine 1 as an example of a fixing tool driving machine includes a main body 2 having a cylinder therein, and a handle 3 is attached integrally with the main body 2. As is well known, a cylinder for supporting a striking member 5 for driving a fixing tool (a nail in this example) is accommodated in a cylinder in the main body 2 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction of FIG. A nose 6 is provided at the tip (lower end) of the main body 2, and the striking member 5 moves through the nose 6, and drives a nail fed to the nose 6 into the object from the tip of the nose 6. The handle 3 supports a magazine 7 that accommodates a nail connection body, which is an example of a fixture, in a coil shape. Nails are fed into the nose 6 from the magazine 7 by a feeding mechanism. Since these mechanisms are well known, further detailed description is omitted.
[0015]
As shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, the handle 3 is provided with a trigger device 9 for controlling the driving of the striking member 5. The trigger device 9 includes a trigger valve 10 provided on the handle 3 and a trigger lever 11 whose root is pivotally supported on the main body 2. Basically, the trigger valve 9 is operated by operating the trigger lever 11. The driving and returning of the striking member 5 are controlled by sending pressurized air from 10 to the main valve on the top of the main body 2 or exhausting the pressurized air. In addition, a safety mechanism is provided to prevent the nail from being driven when the nose of the nailing machine is not pressed against the driving object. The mechanism is pivotally supported on the distal end side of the trigger lever 11 and extends toward the root portion of the trigger lever 11 so that the valve pin 13 of the trigger valve 10 can be pressed, and the trigger lever from the distal end portion of the nose 6. And a safety arm 15 that extends to 11 and does not hold the trip lever 14 in the effective operating position for pushing up the trigger valve pin 13 unless the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven. The pivot pin 17 of the trip lever 14 is provided with a spring 18 that lightly biases the tip of the trip lever 14 upward, and the other side of the spring 18 abuts against the inner wall of the finger contact portion of the trigger lever 11. ing. Accordingly, the tip end side of the trip lever 14 is always in light contact with the valve pin 13. In addition, by the action of the spring 18, the trigger lever 11 turning around the pivot shaft 19 of the main body 2 is urged clockwise in FIGS. Located below. A coil spring 21 is provided between the upper end side of the safety arm 15 and the main body 2 to urge the safety arm 15 downward, and the force for pushing up the safety arm 15, that is, the tip of the nose 6 is driven. As long as the pressing force is not applied to the safety arm 15, the safety arm 15 is in the lowered position shown in FIGS. The valve pin 13 is provided with a coil spring 13a, which normally urges the valve pin 13 to be pushed downward.
[0016]
The trigger device 9 includes a continuous driving operation in which a nail is driven each time the tip of the nose 6 is pressed against the driven object while the trigger lever 11 is pulled, and the tip of the nose is pressed against the driven object and There is provided driving operation switching means for switching between a single driving operation of driving the fixing tool only when the trigger lever 11 is pulled. In the present invention, the driving operation switching means is pivotally supported on a pivot shaft 22 extending substantially parallel to the shaft portion 19 at a position close to the pivot shaft portion 19 of the trigger lever 11 of the nail driver main body 2. The driving operation switching lever 23 is provided. The driving operation switching lever 23 is supported not only to be able to turn on the turning shaft 22 but also to be slidable in the axial direction of the turning shaft 22. As described above, the driving operation switching lever 23 switches between the continuous driving operation and the single driving operation. For this purpose, the driving operation switching lever 23 has a continuous driving operation portion 25 and a single driving operation portion 26. In this embodiment, both portions 25 and 26 are integrally formed. The continuous driving operation portion 25 is formed to extend from the turning shaft 22 so as to be engaged with the distal end 27 of the safety arm 15 and the distal end 29 of the trip lever 14. The single driving operation portion 26 is formed side by side with the continuous driving operation portion 25 as viewed in the axial direction of the pivot shaft 22, and extends from the pivot shaft 22 to engage with the safety arm tip 27 and the trip lever tip 29. However, it is shorter than the continuous driving operation portion 25. That is, the continuous driving operation portion 25 is longer than the single driving operation portion 26 by the protruding portion 30. The turning shaft 22 of the driving operation switching lever 23 is provided with a spring 22a, which urges the distal end side portion of the lever 23 to be pressed against the distal end 27 side of the safety arm 15. .
[0017]
More specifically, the continuous driving operation portion 25 is located at a position where the protruding portion 30 at the tip can be engaged with the safety arm tip 27 and the trip lever tip 29 so as to transmit the upward movement of the safety arm 15 to the trip lever 14. is there. Therefore, when the tip of the nose 6 is pressed against the object to be driven while the trigger lever 11 is held, the protruding portion 30 of the continuous driving operation portion 25 pushed up by the arm tip 27 is triggered via the trip lever 14. The valve pin 13 of the valve 10 is driven. Further, even when the trigger lever 11 is pulled while the tip of the nose is pressed against the driving object, the valve pin 13 is driven in the same manner.
[0018]
The tripping lever 14 is short only when the trigger lever 11 is pulled and operated in a state where the distal end of the single-stroke driving portion 26 can be engaged with the safety arm tip 27 and pressed by the safety arm tip 27. It is in the position engaged with the front-end | tip 29 of. Accordingly, the valve pin 13 is driven only when the trigger lever 11 is pulled while the tip of the nose 6 is pressed against the driving object. The length of the single driving operation portion 26 is such that when the tip of the nose is pressed against the driving object after the trigger lever 11 has been pulled first, the tip 29 of the trip lever 14 is not engaged, When the rear trigger lever 11 is released, the trip lever 14 is short enough to pivot toward the valve pin 13 beyond the tip of the single shot operation portion, but can engage with the tip of the trip lever after the pivot. It is formed in length. Therefore, the tip of the single shot operation portion 26 can be engaged with the tip 29 of the trip lever 14 so as to drive the valve pin 13 by re-pulling the trigger lever 11.
[0019]
Further, there is provided selection means for selectively enabling the continuous driving operation portion 25 or the single driving operation portion 26 by sliding the driving operation switching lever 23 along the turning shaft 22. This selection means comprises a rod-shaped selection member 31 slidably provided on the main body 2. The selection member 31 is provided on the main body 2 so as to slide adjacent to the pivot shaft 22 and parallel to the pivot shaft 22. The selection member 31 is formed with a recess 34 that receives the protrusion 33 at the base of the driving operation switching lever 23, and the selection member 31 slides the driving operation switching lever 23 in the axial direction of the turning shaft 22. It is connected to a driving operation switching lever 23 so that it can slide. As a result, the driving operation switching lever 23 is moved in the axial direction of the pivot shaft 22 so that the continuous driving operation portion 25 can be engaged with the tip 29 of the trip lever 14 and the single driving operation portion 26. Can be moved between a single driving operation position that can be engaged with the tip 29 of the trip lever 14. For example, when the selection member 31 is slid in the direction of the arrow 35 in FIG. 2, the driving operation switching lever 23 is in a continuous driving operation position that enables the continuous driving operation portion 25. When the selection member 31 is slid in the direction of the arrow 37 in FIG. 3, the driving operation switching lever 23 becomes a single driving operation position in which the single driving operation portion 26 is made effective. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the rod-shaped selection member 31 is provided with means for holding the driving operation switching lever 23 at a selected position (continuous driving operation position or single driving operation position). . In the illustrated embodiment, incisions 38 and 39 are formed at positions corresponding to the continuous driving operation position and the single driving operation position of the selection member 31, and a ball 41 and a ball 41 engaged with these cuttings are provided. Ball click means comprising a spring 42 that presses in the direction of the cuts 38 and 39 is provided on the side of the main body 2.
[0020]
The operation will be described first with reference to FIGS. 4 (a) to (e) and FIGS. 5 (a) to (e). In the case of continuous driving operation, the rod-shaped selection member 31 is pressed in the direction of the arrow 35 in FIG. 2, and the driving operation switching lever 23 makes the continuous driving operation portion 25 effective as shown in FIG. Into the inset position. Therefore, in FIGS. 4 and 5, only the continuous driving operation portion 25 of the driving operation switching lever 23 is shown. FIG. 4 (a) shows the initial state of the continuous driving operation. In this initial state, the distal end (projecting portion 30) of the continuous driving operation portion 25 is engaged with the distal end (27) of the safety arm 15, and the distal end (29) of the trip lever 14 is in contact with the valve pin 13 of the trigger valve. Yes. 4 (b) to 4 (e) show a continuous driving operation in which the tip of the nose 6 is pressed against or released from the driving object while the trigger lever 11 is pulled, and the safety arm 15 is pushed up and returned. Is shown. When the trigger lever 11 is pulled in (b) and the safety arm 15 is pushed up in (c), this push-up movement turns the continuous driving operation portion 25 counterclockwise, and this continuous driving operation portion. The tip of the trip lever 14 is pressed by the protruding portion 30 of 25, and the trip lever 14 rotates clockwise about the pivot pin 17 to drive the valve pin 13. As a result, compressed air is supplied to the back surface of the main piston of the main body 2 in FIG. 1, and the striking member 5 strikes the nail from the nose 6 and drives it into the object to be driven. In FIG. 4 (d), when the tip of the nose is moved away from the object to be driven and the safety arm 15 is returned downward, the continuous driving operation part 25 is also rotated clockwise by the spring 22a (see FIG. 3) and tripped. The lever 14 is no longer pressed, the valve pin 13 returns, and the striking member 5 returns. In (e), when the safety arm 15 is pushed up again, the continuous driving operation portion 25 rotates again counterclockwise, the tip of the trip lever 14 is pressed to drive the valve pin 13, and the striking member 5 is nail. Type. In this way, a continuous driving operation is performed by pressing or releasing the tip of the nose against the driving object while the trigger lever 11 is being pulled.
[0021]
FIGS. 5A to 5E show a continuous driving operation in which the trigger lever 11 is pulled or released with the nose tip pressed against the driving object. FIG. 5 (a) shows the same initial state as FIG. 4 (a). In FIG. 5 (b), the tip of the nose is pressed against the object to be driven, the safety arm 15 is pushed up, the continuous driving operation portion 25 is turned counterclockwise, and the tip is engaged with the tip of the trip lever 14. Let Next, when the trigger lever 11 is pulled in (c), the trip lever 14 turns upward clockwise around the tip engaged with the continuous driving operation portion 25 to drive the valve pin 13. As a result, the striking member 5 is driven and the nail is driven out of the nose 6 and driven into the object to be driven. In (d), when the trigger lever 11 is released, the trip lever 14 descends and returns to the same state as in (b), the trip lever 14 is not pressed, the valve pin 13 returns, and the striking member 5 returns. In (e), when the trigger lever 11 is pulled again, the trip lever 14 is raised again, the valve pin 13 is driven, and the striking member 5 drives the nail. In this manner, the continuous driving operation is performed by pulling or releasing the trigger lever while the nose tip is pressed against the driving target.
[0022]
The single shot driving operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 (a) to (f) and FIGS. 7 (a) to (e). In the case of a single shot operation, the rod-shaped selection member 31 is pressed in the direction of the arrow 37 in FIG. 3, and as shown in FIG. 3, the drive operation switching lever 23 makes a single shot operation portion 26 effective. Into the inset position. Therefore, in FIGS. 6 and 7, only the shorter one-shot driving operation portion 26 of the driving operation switching lever 23 is shown. 6 (a) and 7 (a) both show the initial state of the single shot operation. In this initial state, the tip of the single driving operation portion 26 is engaged with the tip of the safety arm 15 and is far away from the trip lever 14. The trip lever 14 is in contact with the valve pin 13.
[0023]
The single driving operation is an operation of driving a fixing tool such as a nail only when the nose tip is pressed against an object to be driven and the trigger lever is pulled. First, in FIG. 6B, the nose 6 of the nailing machine 1 is pressed against the object to be driven, the safety arm 15 is lifted up, and the single driving operation portion 26 is turned counterclockwise. Let However, since the single driving operation portion 26 is short, the tip of the single driving operation portion 26 is not engaged with the tip of the trip lever 14 in this state. Next, when the trigger lever 11 is pulled in (c), the trigger lever 11 turns around the pivot shaft 19, and the entire trip lever 14 turns along with the turning. The tip of 14 engages with the tip of the single shot operation portion. By continuing the turning of the trigger lever 11, the trip lever 14 engaged with the tip of the single driving operation portion is turned up counterclockwise around the tip portion engaged with the single driving operation portion, and the valve pin 13 As a result, the striking member 5 is driven, and one nail is driven out of the nose 6 and driven into the object to be driven. Next, when the tip of the nose is moved away from the object to be driven, the safety arm 15 moves downward, and the single driving operation portion 26 also turns clockwise. By this turning, the engagement with the tip of the trip lever 14 is released, and the valve pin 13 returns downward together with the trip lever 14 by the pressing force of the coil spring 13a of the valve pin 13, and the striking member 5 also returns. When the trigger lever 11 is released from this state as shown in (e), the initial state of (a) is obtained. However, there is a case where the nose is once pushed away from the object to be driven and immediately pressed against the object to be driven by reaction or the like when the nail is driven. (f) shows the re-pressing. Even if the safety arm 15 is pushed up by re-pressing the nose while the trigger lever 11 is pulled and the single-shot driving portion 26 turns counterclockwise, as shown in FIG. The tip of the trip lever 14 is positioned below the tip of the single shot operation portion 26, and the single shot operation portion 26 is not engaged with the trip lever 14, so that the nail is not fired. That is, the single shot driving operation is surely guaranteed.
[0024]
Next, the case where the trigger lever 11 is first pulled as shown in FIG. 7 (b) from the initial state of FIG. 7 (a) in the single shot operation will be described. In (b), when the trigger lever 11 is pulled, the trigger lever 11 turns around the shaft portion 19 and the entire trip lever 14 tries to turn along with the turning. The trip lever 14 is pushed down by the lowering force. Next, in (c), when the nose is pressed against the driving object and the safety arm 15 is pushed up, the single driving operation portion 26 turns counterclockwise. Since the single shot operation portion 26 is formed short as described above, the tip of the single shot operation portion 26 moves upward beyond the trip lever 14 without being engaged with the tip of the trip lever 14. Therefore, the valve pin 13 of the trigger valve is not driven and the nail is not driven. This prevents inadvertent nail firing (i.e., misfiring) when the tip of the nose is pressed against something with the trigger lever pulled first.
[0025]
(a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f)
In a state where the tip of the nose is properly pressed against the object to be driven, it is desirable that a single driving operation can be performed only by operating the trigger lever while maintaining the pressing. In the present invention, instead of changing the pivotal support position of the trigger lever, the main body 2 is provided with a driving operation switching lever 23 for associating the safety arm and the trip lever, and the single driving operation portion 26 of the driving operation switching lever 23 is provided. As described above, it is possible to perform single shot operation only by operating the trigger lever even when the tip of the nose is pressed against the driven object at the single shot operation position. Yes. After the nose tip of FIG. 7 (c) is pressed against the object to be driven, as shown in FIG. 7 (d), when the trigger lever 11 is released, it turns to return to the original position. By this turning, the trip lever 14 also moves together, and the tip of the trip lever contacts the valve pin 13 at a position beyond the tip of the single shot operation portion 26. Thereafter, as shown in (e), when the trigger lever 11 is pulled again, the trigger lever 11 turns about the shaft portion 19, the entire trip lever 14 also turns, and the tip of the trip lever 14 is driven once. Engage with the tip of the moving part. If the turning of the trigger lever 11 is continued, the trip lever 14 engaged with the tip of the single driving operation portion is turned up counterclockwise around the tip portion engaged with the single driving operation portion 26, The valve pin 13 is driven, the striking member 5 is driven, and one nail is driven into the driving object. Therefore, a single driving operation can be performed by an operation of pulling or releasing the trigger lever while the nose tip is pressed against the driving object.
[0026]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, in the fastener driving machine capable of switching between the continuous driving operation and the single driving operation, the single driving operation can be reliably performed, and the support shaft portion of the trigger lever is fixed. Therefore, the entire trigger lever is not moved, and even if switching between continuous driving operation and single driving operation, there is no sense of incongruity in the operation feeling, and the turning range of the trip lever for driving changes. I don't have to. Further, the continuous driving operation can be performed reliably, and the single driving operation can also be performed reliably. Furthermore, when performing a single driving operation, double driving can be reliably prevented, and when the nose tip is pressed against the driving object after pulling the trigger lever first, the nose tip is driven into the driving object. When the trigger lever is released and the trigger lever is pulled again while being pressed, the fixing tool can be hit once. Therefore, the operator does not have to reposition the nose to the object away from the object.
[0027]
Then, the operation position selection means of the driving operation switching lever moves the driving operation switching lever in the axial direction of the pivot axis between the continuous driving operation position and the single driving operation position. The rod-like selection member slidably provided on the driving machine body can be formed, and the driving operation can be switched by a simple operation by simply sliding the rod-like selection member.
