Abstract

A driving tool is provided with a driver for driving out a fastener from a nozzle, a balancer, and a balancer biasing member for biasing the balancer in a direction away from the nozzle. The balancer moves in the direction away from the nozzle by a biasing force of the balancer biasing member when the driver moves toward the nozzle.

Claims (16)

1. A driving tool comprising:

a driver provided to be slidable toward a nozzle formed in a leading end of the tool and adapted to drive out a fastener from the nozzle;

a balancer provided to be slidable with respect to a housing of the tool;

a balancer biasing member adapted to bias the balancer in a direction away from the nozzle; and

a biasing member adapted to bias the driver toward the nozzle,

wherein when the biasing member is compressed, the balancer biasing member is compressed, thereby the biasing member stores a biasing force for biasing the driver, and the balancer biasing member stores a biasing force for biasing the balancer,

wherein after the driver is released toward the nozzle, the balancer biasing member is adapted to bias the balancer independent of the biasing member biasing the driver, and

the balancer is configured to absorb a reaction on driving by a movement of the balancer due to the biasing force of the balancer biasing member.

2. The driving tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a motor configured to drive in a predetermined direction,

wherein (i) the biasing member stores the biasing force for biasing the driver, and (ii) the balancer biasing member stores the biasing force for biasing the balancer, when the motor drives, and

wherein (i) the biasing force for biasing the driver and (ii) the biasing force for biasing the balancer are released when the motor further drives.

3. The driving tool according to claim 1 ,

wherein the balancer is adapted to continue to move after a nail driving operation by the driver is completed.

4. The driving tool according to claim 1 ,

wherein a moving speed of the driver is faster than a moving speed of the balancer.
