POWERED NAIL DRIVER WITH A NAIL PLACEMENT ASSEMBLY

摘要

A replaceable positioning tip can be removably fixedly coupled to a distal end of the trip arm. The positioning tip can define a tip nail guide groove having a proximal portion extending at a first angle substantially parallel to a nail driver axis and a distal end tapering at a second angle. The tapered distal end can be encompassed by a thin-walled portion. A nail tip lifter can be coupled to the rear nail guide housing for pivotable movement between a first position adjacent the positioning tip and a second position away from the positioning tip. The nail tip lifter can define a lifter nail guide groove extending from its inception at a proximal end to a distal end. A biasing member can be positioned between the rear nail guide housing and the nail tip lifter to bias the nail tip lifter toward the first position.

1. A nail driving tool with a nail placement assembly, the nail placement assembly comprising:
a nose housing assembly including a forward nail guide housing coupled to a rear nail guide housing and defining a nail driving path therebetween; a nail driver positioned and reciprocally movably along a nail driver axis to drive a nail down the nail driving path; a trip arm movably coupled to the nose housing assembly and movable between an extended non-trip position and a retracted trip position; a replaceable positioning tip removably fixedly coupled to a distal end of the trip arm, the replaceable positioning tip defining a tip nail guide groove having a proximal portion extending a first angle that is substantially parallel to the nail driver axis and a tapered distal end tapering at a second angle and encompassed by a thin-walled portion of the replaceable positioning tip; a nail tip lifter pivotably coupled to the rear nail guide housing for pivotable movement between a first position adjacent the positioning tip and a second position away from the positioning tip, the nail tip lifter defining a lifter nail guide groove extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the lifter nail guide groove; and a biasing member positioned between the rear nail guide housing and the nail tip lifter and biasing the nail tip lifter toward the first position.
