Abstract
A driving tool includes a driver configured to drive a driving member, a driver guide configured to guide a movement of the driver, a contact arm configured to slidably couple to the driver guide, and an adapter configured to be detachably attachable to the contact arm. The adapter protrudes from the contact arm in a driving direction such that when the driving member is driven by the driver into a workpiece, a head of the driving member remains protruding outwards from a surface of the workpiece.
Claims18
An electric driving tool comprising:
- a driver configured to drive a driving member in a driving direction;
- a driver guide configured to guide a movement of the driver;
- a contact arm including a rail configured to slidably couple to the driver guide;
- and
- an adapter configured to be detachably attachable to the contact arm, the adapter having a lower end, wherein the adapter includes (i) a guide piece that extends upward to the contact arm in a cantilevered manner and (ii) a hook that inwardly protrudes from the guide piece to the rail and is engageable with an upper end of the rail to attach the adapter to the contact arm,
- the adapter attached to the contact arm by an engagement of the hook with the upper end of the rail is configured such that the lower end of the adapter is offset from a lower end of the contact arm by a protrusion length T in the driving direction,
- the electric driving tool is configured such that a lower end of the driver is located at a fixed distance D from the lower end of the contact arm when the driver reaches a lowermost end position in the driving direction, and
- the protrusion length T is greater than the fixed distance D.
