Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to generally fastening systems employed to connect wood structural members to comply with construction codes.
  • the present disclosure relates generally to tools and methods for installing a fastener to secure wood framing components. More particularly, this disclosure relates to tools and techniques to precisely install fasteners to secure the top plate to roof trusses or rafters.
  • CLP continuous load path
  • a second embodiment of a dual positionable adaptor comprises a guide head having an entry reference surface defining a fastener opening.
  • a connector is configured to mount the guide head to the driver assembly so that the fastener is driven through the opening.
  • a guide assembly is mounted to the guide head.
  • the guide assembly comprises a pair of spaced arms having opposed faces. Each arm has a first engagement edge and a second engagement edge at an angle to the first engagement edge. The first engagement edges are coplanar, and the second engagement edges are coplanar.
  • a fastener is drivable by the fastener assembly through the fastener opening at an oblique entry angle to the vertical member.
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary top plan view of the installation tool of Fig. 1 ;
  • FIG. 5 is a side elevational view, portions broken away to show detail and partly in diagram form, of the installation tool of Fig. 1 ;
  • Fig. 26 is an annotated side elevational view, partly in schematic, of an installation tool
  • Fig. 30 is a schematic view of an installer illustrating a belt holster and a representative installation tool for reception by said holster;
  • guide assembly 50 is preferably a cast or molded member of a lightweight rigid form which is mounted at the distal end 36 of the tube assembly.
  • the guide assembly 50 has a frame 60 with a planar locating or engagement surface 62 disposed at an acute angle with respect to lower planar mounting surface 64.
  • Mounting surface 64 preferably engages against the end of the tube assembly and transversely extends across the end of the tube 34.
  • a planar end plate 66 is preferably perpendicular to surface 62 and is positioned and configured to closely approach or even contact the underside of the roof support member 26 (as will be explained below).
  • the acute angle is preferably 22 1/2°, although other angles may be provided depending on the intended application of the installation tool 10.
  • An L-shaped bracket preferably extends transversely at opposed sides of the engagement surface and projects outwardly from the surface to provide an alignment bracket 168 to engage the vertical support 24.
  • Bracket 168 may be adjustable.
  • a pair of arms 180 and 182 are pivotally mounted at the top of the frame. One or more of the arms 180 and 182 may be pivoted upwardly to engage a vertical side of member 26 and provide a proper positioning relative to the roof support member 26.
  • a protrusion 1 14 rides within an internal slot 1 16 which is attached in fixed relationship to the driver 42.
  • the proximal tube 132 forms the internal slot 1 16, and the sliding tube 134 includes an external rib 147.
  • the internal slot 1 16 is not aligned with the rib 147 in the dormant/non-drive state (Fig. 15A).
  • the protrusion 1 14 starts to ride in the internal slot 1 16 until it changes geometry and twists, thereby causing the handle to twist (Figs. 15B-C).
  • the foregoing continues until the second slot is aligned with the external rib, thereby allowing the tube 134 to fully telescope inwardly (Fig. 15D).
  • the installer feels the handle 1 10 rotate slightly, the installer knows that the fastener 12 has been sufficiently initially driven, and the installer can release the grip 1 12 on the handle and place both hands on the driver 42.
  • the power driver 40 is easily dismounted from the telescopic tube assembly 30.
  • the telescopic tube assembly may employ a receiver configured to receive and functionally attach to a wide range of dismountable drill guns without the torque driver being fully integrated with the telescopic tube assembly.
  • the guide head assembly 250 is preferably a cast or molded member of lightweight rigid form which includes a frame extending from the base with a planar engagement surface 262 disposed at an acute angle with respect to the lower planar mounting surface 264.
  • Mounting surface 264 preferably engages against the end of the tube assembly and transversely extends across the distal end 236 of the tube 234.
  • a planar end plate 266 is parallel to surface 264 and positioned to engage the underside of the roof support member 26.
  • the acute angle is preferably 22 1 ⁇ 2°, although other angles may be provided depending on the intended application of the installation tool.
  • the specific angle can be provided with a guide head assembly having the required angle of the sleeve or guide channel relative to the engagement surface 262.
  • a transverse slot 265 receives an L-shaped alignment bracket 268 which protrudes transversely at opposed sides of the engagement surface 262 and also projects outwardly from the surface 262.
  • a set screw 271 secures the bracket 268 and allows the bracket 268 to be adjusted laterally, for example, when required at corners.
  • the alignment bracket 268 is positioned and configured to fit below the 2x4 at the top plate 22 to ensure proper perpendicular alignment with the top plate. For corner configurations, the alignment bracket 268 may be moved to an extreme lateral position, either left or right of the position as shown in Fig. 21 .
  • the grip portion 610 is configured to permit the forward plunger portion to recede into the grip portion during screw delivery.
  • a pump action screw feeder is illustrated where screws are moved from a clip to a screw guide by manual cycling of the manual pump grip 695. Once the first screw is manually fed into the screw guide, further screws may be delivered with the longitudinal cycling of the screw guide during subsequent screw installation.
  • a sight line 691 on top of a clip 690 enhances the user's ability to center the screw guide on a structural member for accurate delivery of screws.
  • the resulting perforated configuration may provide an opportunity to attach L-shaped brackets 804 to tie the roof truss to the top plate of the wall as shown in Figs. 38A-38C.
  • Screws or bolts 806 may pass through the roof truss plates 802 and L-shaped brackets 804.
  • Threaded fasteners 808 may be used to attach the lower portion of the L-shaped bracket to the top plate.
  • Fig. 38C illustrates an L-shaped bracket 804 with perforations and wood penetrating barbs arranged to match the perforations in the truss plates.
  • the L-shaped bracket 804 could be installed by pressing or hammering into the truss plates and threaded fasteners 808 can be employed to tie the L-shaped bracket 804 to the top plate.
  • an adaptor 1000 is adapted for use in mounting to the end of an installation tool, such as tools 10, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 (without guide assemblies or adaptors) to provide a reference guide to reliably implement a proper entry angle and location of a fastener 1012 connecting through a support stud into a top plate and also into a bottom plate.
  • the same adaptor 1000 may be used for both the illustrated top plate fastener installation and the bottom plate fastener installation as illustrated in Fig. 44.
  • the stud is designated by the letter S, the top plate by TP and the bottom plate by BP in Figs. 44, 44A and 44B.
  • the installation tool with the fixed adaptor is merely repositioned so that the entry surface 1030 of the head engages the lower portion of the edge of the stud and the second reference edge 1044 engages the top portion of the bottom plate BP to provide an optimal position and entry angle for driving a fastener 1012 into the stud S and the bottom plate BP as illustrated in Fig. 44B.
  • the entry angle a relative to vertical is approximately 35°.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un adaptateur à double positionnement pour un ensemble d'entraînement d'élément de fixation qui utilise un ensemble de guidage monté sur une tête de guidage comportant une surface d'entrée pour un élément de fixation. Les bras définissent chacun une paire de bords de mise en prise de référence qui viennent en prise soit avec un élément horizontal supérieur, soit un élément horizontal inférieur, et conjointement avec la surface d'entrée, définissent un emplacement d'entrée approprié et un angle pour relier un goujon vertical à une plaque supérieure ou à une plaque inférieure. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'adaptateur à double positionnement peut utiliser une paire de bras pivotants qui définissent l'une de deux positions de pivotement pour un ensemble de guidage. Les bras de l'ensemble de guidage comportent chacun un premier bord de prise de référence et un deuxième bord de prise de référence. Dans une première position de guidage, l'adaptateur produit une position et un angle d'entrée optimaux pour relier une plaque supérieure à une semelle latérale. Dans une deuxième position, l'adaptateur produit une position et un angle d'entrée optimaux pour entraîner un élément de fixation à travers une plaque inférieure dans une semelle latérale.
