Abstract
An extension pole for a driving tool, the extension pole including a mounting mechanism for mounting the driving tool to the extension pole and an actuating mechanism configured such that a release force applied towards the driving tool mounted to the extension pole causes a trigger of the driving tool to move in an opposite direction to actuate the trigger.
Claims19
An extension pole for a driving tool, the extension pole comprising:
- a rod have a first end and a second end;
- a mounting mechanism at the first end of the rod and connectable to the driving tool, the mounting mechanism including:
- a housing with a handle seat configured to receive a handle of the driving tool, and
- a securing mechanism including a latch operable to engage the handle under the trigger of the driving tool to secure the handle to the handle seat;
- and
- an actuating mechanism connected to the mounting mechanism and configured such that a release force applied towards the driving tool when the driving tool is connected to the mounting mechanism causes a trigger of the driving tool to move in an opposite direction to actuate the trigger.

An extension pole for a driving tool, the extension pole comprising:
- a rod have a first end and a second end;
- a mounting mechanism at the first end of the rod and connectable to the driving tool, the mounting mechanism including:
- a magazine holder seat configured to receive a magazine holder of the driving tool, and
- a securing mechanism including a latch operable to engage the handle under the trigger of the driving tool to secure the magazine holder to the magazine holder seat;
- and
- an actuating mechanism connected to the mounting mechanism and configured such that a release force applied towards the driving tool when the driving tool is connected to the mounting mechanism causes a trigger of the driving tool to move in an opposite direction to actuate the trigger.

- an actuating mechanism connected to the mounting mechanism;
- a trigger actuator;
- and
- a release connected to the trigger actuator by the actuating mechanism, the release including a tubular handle surrounding the rod and slidable there along when a release force is applied to the tubular handle, and
- wherein the actuating mechanism is configured such that a triggering force applied to the release to move the tubular handle towards the housing causes the trigger actuator to move in an opposite direction to actuate the trigger of the driving tool when the driving tool is connected to the mounting mechanism.
