Driving Tool - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18393530 titled 'Driving Tool

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a driving tool for fastening objects, with features to control the driving operation based on the movement of a contact arm and inertial forces.

  • Contact arm moves in a first direction when pressed against the fastening target object.
  • Driving portion initiates the fastener driving operation when the contact arm moves by a set amount.
  • Restricting portion limits the driving operation if inertial force is detected in the first direction.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Contact arm movement triggers the driving operation.
  • Control mechanism based on inertial forces prevents overdriving.
  • Enhances precision and efficiency in fastening operations.

Potential Applications

  • Construction industry for fastening materials.
  • Manufacturing for assembly line processes.
  • Maintenance and repair tasks requiring precise fastening.

Problems Solved

  • Prevents damage to fastening target objects.
  • Ensures accurate and controlled fastening.
  • Reduces the risk of overdriving fasteners.

Benefits

  • Improved safety in fastening operations.
  • Enhanced productivity and efficiency.
  • Cost-effective solution for various industries.

Commercial Applications

  • "Smart" tools for construction companies.
  • Automated assembly systems in manufacturing plants.
  • Maintenance tools for technicians in various fields.

Questions about the Technology

How does the driving tool prevent overdriving of fasteners?

The driving tool includes a restricting portion that limits the driving operation when inertial force is detected in the first direction, preventing overdriving.

What industries can benefit from the driving tool's precision and efficiency?

The construction, manufacturing, and maintenance industries can benefit from the driving tool's precision and efficiency in fastening operations.


Original Abstract Submitted

There is provided a driving tool for driving a fastener to a fastening target object including: a contact arm capable of moving in a first direction by being brought into contact with and pressed against the fastening target object; a driving portion configured to start a driving operation of the fastener on condition that the contact arm moves by a predetermined amount in the first direction; and a restricting portion configured to restrict the driving operation performed by the driving portion when an inertial force is generated in the first direction.
