Plug driving apparatus with a riser returning automatically to the firing position

摘要

The apparatus comprises along the riser (10) a return chamber with a front space (30) and a rear space (22) adapted to communicate with the combustion chamber (15) following a first displacement of the riser (10). Once the two spaces (30, 22) have been brought into communication with one another, they are separated from one another and the riser (10) is returned towards the rear in the barrel (9). The two spaces (30) and (22) communicate with one another during the displacement of the riser (10) and the rear space (22) is separated from, the front space (30) following a second forward displacement of the riser (10). As the rear space (22) communicates with the exterior of the apparatus, the expansion of the combustion gases trapped in the front space (30) then returns the riser (10) towards the rear into the firing position. The apparatus serves to fix components to a support material.
