FASTENER DRIVING SYSTEM WITH PRECISION FASTENER GUIDE

摘要

An apparatus for positioning a fastener (1000) in a driving system. A positioning assembly (325) is positioned at the first end of a guide tube (330) to engage a fastener driven by a driver shaft out of the guide tube. The positioning assembly includes a first jaw (310) having an interior cavity (415) and a mounting portion (422, 424) allowing the jaw to be mounted to the guide tube. The positioning assembly includes a second jaw (310) having an interior cavity and a mounting tab allowing the jaw to be mounted to the guide tube. The first and second jaw are rotatably coupled to the guide tube in a retractable manner such that a fastener exiting the guide tube separates the jaws and is centered about the axis passing longitudinally through the guide tube.
