A fastener driving tool has a motor (24) (Fig. 1) driven energy storing flywheel (26) and a reciprocating fastener driving ram (44). The flywheel has a metal peripheral surface that selectively engages a metal surface of the ram in order to drive the ram into engagement with a fastener (104) to be driven into a workpiece. Selective engagement occurs upon operation of a solenoid (84) to propel a thicker portion of the ram into the nip of an idler roller (28) and the flywheel closed together by movement of a safety yoke (23) engaging the workpiece (not shown), the movement being transferred to the roller (28) via a toggle linkage (64, 68). An elastic cord (52) returns the ram to a retracted position when the ram is disengaged by the flywheel, and a pair of elastic bumpers (48, 50) are employed to limit the travel of the ram in the direction of the retracted position and the direction of the fastener engaging position. The ram, bumpers and cords form a subassembly (48) that permits the ram, cord and bumpers to be removed from the fastener as a unit. The cord (52) is made relatively long to reduce the amount of stretch per unit length applied to the cord thereby to increase the life of the cord. The motor (224) (see Fig. 14) and flywheel may be rotated in opposite directions to reduce precessional forces but in any event, the motor is mounted to the rear of the tool and drives the flywheel through a flexible drive belt (30, 230) to provide for a well balanced tool. |
