Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for sealing or perforating or driving or driving any element in a material receiver, type nailing, stapling or hammer, gas operated.
  • a piston is movably mounted in a cylinder for be propelled by the explosion of a mixture of air and a combustible gas injected from a cartridge into a combustion chamber and for driving an element, for example fixing (a nail or a pad), or other ankle.
  • an organ, called cage which, when putting in support and via a probe that can be a mobile buffer guide, pushes a chamber sleeve to the stop against the bolt the spark plug intended to cause the explosion, in order to close the combustion chamber thus closed by this sleeve, the cylinder head and the head of the piston.
  • the cage and the sleeve can be connected to each other by screwing.
  • the recoil of the cage is effected against the action of a return spring, to recall the device in the open position, also in support against the cylinder of the piston.
  • binding pressures are exerted on the cylinder head during the operation of such apparatus, in particular because portions of surface of the cylinder head and cylinder face each other. And even if in other devices, these harmful pressures are no longer exerted on the breech, they are carried on the cage, which is not necessarily better.
  • the invention of the present application aims to overcome all constraints of parasitic pressure on both the cylinder head and the cage.
  • the invention relates to a gas-operated apparatus in which which, under the action of the explosion of a mixture of air and gas in a closed chamber via a chamber sleeve and a cage when the device is put in support, a piston is propelled into a cylinder for driving an element, characterized in that the sleeve chamber and the cylinder are arranged so that when closing the the device, the chamber sleeve comes into abutment against the cylinder.
  • the cage and the Sleeve sleeve are linked with sliding play, to avoid the propagation of constraints.
  • the chamber sleeve may comprise at least one support pad, arranged to abut against a bearing lug of the cylinder, at least one connecting pin of the chamber sleeve and the cage and at least one ear support a spring opening, also against a cheek cylinder, and mutual thrust of one by the other of the chamber sleeve and the cage.
  • the chamber sleeve may also include at least one skate support, thrust and connection arranged to abut against a cheek of the cylinder in the closed position, at least one pin of connection of the chamber sleeve, the support pad and the cage and at least an opening spring of the chamber in abutment against the support cheek and the support pad.
  • the pad carries a section support finger narrowed arranged to bear against the cheek of the cylinder and receive the opening spring.
  • the device At the front of a cylinder head, carrying a spark plug and a fan motor, these elements of the apparatus not being represented, any more than the handle and actuation handle, the gas cartridge and the Anchor loader, the device has a chamber sleeve 1, a cylinder 2, front portion 3 of reduced section, a cage 4 of chamber closing and a probe 5.
  • the probe 5, moreover classic, is integral in translation with the cage, here by screw, cage a semi-tubular front portion 6 wraps the back of the probe.
  • the front portion 6 of the cage 4 is extended towards the rear by two lateral arms 7, 8 whose rear end 9 is bent towards the axis 16 of the apparatus to form a connecting spout.
  • the two arms 7, 8 of the cage extend along the cylinder 2, outside, up to the anterior portion 10 of the chamber sleeve 1.
  • the cylinder 2 On its outer wall, the cylinder 2 carries radial support lugs 11 to serve as stops for the chamber sleeve 1 in the closed position, and, behind the support lugs 11, radial support cheeks 12 serving of stops to springs 13 for returning the chamber to the open position.
  • the back 14 of the chamber sleeve 1 forms partially the combustion chamber 15 of the apparatus.
  • a propulsion piston 17 In the cylinder 2 is mounted a propulsion piston 17, with its head 18, also partially forming the chamber 15, and its propulsion rod 19.
  • the cylinder comprises a rear bead 20 in which is formed a receiving groove of a seal 21 intended, in the closed position, to ensure, with the chamber sleeve 1, the front seal of the chamber of combustion 15.
  • the chamber sleeve 1 in the middle part and in a cross section perpendicular to the axis 16, present in the axial extension of a bulge of the chamber sleeve which it will be question below, a portion of inner rib 22 cooperating with the seal 21 in the closed position.
  • a connecting pin 33 crosses each bulge and its two pads 30, 31 perpendicularly at the same axial plane.
  • a radial bearing lug 34 extends between the two support pads of each cradle 29, in the manner of an internal bottom, to the opposite of the anterior edge 28 of the sleeve.
  • the springs 13 reminder of the chamber in the open position, bearing against the radial bearing faces 12 of the cylinder 2, are also respectively in support against the ears 34 of the chamber sleeve 1.
  • the connecting spout 9 of each arm 7, 8 it has passed, by its free end portion 35, turned towards the axis 16, at the rear of the associated connecting pin 33.
  • the part end 35 of a connecting nose 9 of a cage arm 7, 8 can, here, relative to the chamber sleeve 1, to be driven in sliding relative on a game run of length equal to the distance separating the support lug 34 and the connecting pin 33 of the associated cradle 29, which allows to qualify the sliding connection of the cage and the sleeve of This degree of freedom avoids the propagation of constraints.
  • the cage and sleeve could be slid-free without play.
  • the cage 6, via the probe 5, is pushed towards the rear of the device.
  • the connecting spouts 9 start by retreating from the connecting pin 33 to the support lug 34 of their support assembly, push and associated link, before the cage 4, 6, by the support lugs 34 serving thrust member, does not push the chamber sleeve along the cylinder 2, compressing the return springs 13 (FIG. 2), until that the support pads 30, 31 abut against the support lugs 11 of cylinder 2 (FIG. 3) and that, thus, the combustion chamber 15 is closed, with seal before insured.
  • the device is then ready for shooting.
  • the spring expansion 13 slides the chamber sleeve 1 forwards on the cylinder 2, until the inner rib portions 22 of the sleeve come in abutment against shock absorbers 36 resting against the support cheeks 12 of the cylinder and that the device is in the position of combustion chamber opened.
  • the pushing lugs 34 also drive forward sliding the 9 and thus the arms 7, 8 of the cage 6. Under the action of his weight, the cage may continue to run forward the link arms 9 abut against the pins 33.
  • the support pads 30, 31 are made of a material shock absorber to better dampen shocks.
  • these pads 30, 31 comprise at least one transverse rear support slice 39 intended to abut against a support lug 11 which, it is in a damping material, slice attached to the pad, in particular by gluing, welding.
  • each set is replaced by a single support pad, thrust and link 43, 44 shaped so special.
  • its shape is such that it can also be housed in one of the external bulges 25, such as the cradles 29.
  • it includes a connecting elbow 45 and a thrust and bearing finger 46 extending the connecting elbow 45.
  • the connecting elbow 45 in the form of an arch, receives, in its concave internal groove, a connecting pin 33 which passes through the associated bulge 25.
  • the connecting elbow 45 and the thrust finger and 46 are connected to each other by a bridge, leaving between them a groove 47 for receiving the connecting lug 9 of the associated cage arm 7, 8.
  • the push and support finger 46 extends in a form cylindrical from a base 48, larger section than the finger 46, in providing an annular shoulder 49 for abutting the opening spring 13 of the chamber in abutment at its other end against the support cheek 12 of the cylinder 2.
  • FIGS. 5, 6 The operation of the apparatus of FIGS. 5, 6 is the same as that of other figures.
  • the cage 4 When the device bears against a receiving material, the cage 4, via the probe, is pushed towards the rear of the device.
  • the cage 4 by the jaws 9 and fingers 46 of the pads, serving as a thrust member, pushes the chamber sleeve 1 along the cylinder 2, compressing the return springs 13 (FIG. 5), until the fingers 46 of the skids 42, 44 come into abutment against the support cheeks 12 of the cylinder 2 ( Figure 6) and that, thus, the combustion chamber 15 is closed, with tightness before assured.
  • the device is then ready for shooting.
  • the spring expansion 13 slides the chamber sleeve 1 forwards on the cylinder 2, until the inner rib portions 22 of the sleeve come in abutment against shock absorbers 36 resting against the support cheeks 12 of the cylinder and that the device is in the position of combustion chamber opened.
  • the pushing fingers 46 also drive forward sliding the connecting jaws 9 and thus the arms 7, 8 of the cage 4.
