Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide powered fastener driving tools and clean lubricants for powered fastener driving tools that reduce contaminant, residue, and deposit buildup or accumulation in the powered fastener driving tools, and thus reduce necessary maintenance for such powered fastener driving tools (or increases the time intervals between such necessary maintenance of powered fastener driving tools).
Claims18
A combustion powered fastener driving tool comprising:
- a housing assembly including a main compartment assembly and a handle assembly extending from the main compartment assembly, said housing assembly configured to removably receive a combined fuel supply and clean lubricant supply container containing a hydrocarbon fuel and a clean lubricant;
- a combustion power supply assembly positioned in the housing assembly;
- a fastener supply assembly configured to receive fasteners and supported by the housing assembly;
- a fastener driving assembly positioned in the housing assembly;
- a trigger mechanism assembly supported by the handle assembly;
- and
- a workpiece contact element assembly supported by the housing assembly.
A combustion powered fastener driving tool combined fuel supply and clean lubricant supply container assembly comprising:
- a container;
- a hydrocarbon fuel in the container;
- and
- a clean lubricant in the container.
A pneumatic powered fastener driving tool comprising:
- a housing assembly including a main compartment assembly and a handle assembly extending from the main compartment assembly;
- a clean lubricant supply container positioned in the housing, and configured to contain a clean lubricant;
- a power supply assembly positioned in the housing assembly;
- a fastener supply assembly configured to receive fasteners and supported by the housing assembly;
- a fastener driving assembly positioned in the housing assembly;
- a trigger mechanism assembly supported by the handle assembly;
- and
- a workpiece contact element assembly supported by the housing assembly.
A pneumatic powered fastener driving tool clean lubricant supply container assembly comprising:
- a container;
- a clean lubricant in the container;
- and
- a connector configured to connect the container to a housing assembly of a pneumatic powered fastener driving tool.
