Abstract
A driving tool includes a striking mechanism configured to be actuated by a combustion pressure of a mixed gas of compressed air and fuel, a combustion chamber in which the mixed gas of compressed air and fuel is to be combusted, a valve member configured to open and close communication between the striking mechanism and the combustion chamber, and a valve support member configured to support the valve member. The valve member has a seal part provided on an outer peripheral surface along a moving direction of the valve member.
Claims8
A driving tool comprising:
- a striking mechanism configured to be actuated by a combustion pressure of a mixed gas of compressed air and fuel;
- a combustion chamber in which the mixed gas of compressed air and fuel is to be combusted;
- and
- a valve member configured to be actuated by pressure variation of the combustion chamber, and to open and close communication between the striking mechanism and the combustion chamber, the valve member including a valve member cylinder,
- wherein the combustion chamber is provided around the valve member,
- wherein the valve member includes a valve surface at a lower end face in an axial direction of the valve member cylinder, and a largest diameter of the valve surface is smaller than a largest diameter of the striking mechanism, and
- wherein the striking mechanism includes an inlet connecting the combustion chamber and the striking mechanism, the inlet comprising an opening extending in an axial direction of the striking mechanism, and
- wherein the largest diameter of the valve surface is larger than a largest diameter of the inlet of the striking mechanism.
