Abstract

In order to make it possible to easily carry out filling up of a compressed air to a compression chamber without making a fastener driving machine larger in size, there is provided a fastener driving machine that includes a cylinder that forms a piston chamber defined by a piston and drives a driver blade by the piston. The housing has a cylinder case part for housing a cylinder, and a handle part. A pressure accumulating container is provided on the cylinder. The pressure accumulating container includes a bottom wall portion and a top wall portion. A compression chamber that communicates with the piston chamber is provided therein.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fastener driving machine comprising:
a cylinder having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side;
a piston inserted into the cylinder and allowed to reciprocate in the cylinder to drive a driver blade so that a fastener is driven into a member, the first side of the cylinder being on a side of a bottom dead center of the piston;
a housing including a cylinder case housing the cylinder, and a handle extending from the cylinder case in a first direction crossing an axial direction of the cylinder;
a pressure accumulating container disposed on the second side of the cylinder, the pressure accumulating container comprising:
a bottom wall having (1) a first cylindrical portion coupled to the second side of the cylinder, (2) a bottom portion extending outwardly from the first cylindrical portion, the bottom portion having a round shape in an axial-direction view of the cylinder, and (3) a second cylindrical portion disposed along a periphery of the round-shaped bottom portion; and
a top wall having a third cylindrical portion coupled to the second cylindrical portion of the bottom wall,
wherein in the axial-direction view of the cylinder, the round-shaped bottom portion is so formed relative to the first cylindrical portion that a center of the round-shaped bottom portion is offset from a center of the cylinder in the first direction toward the handle.

2. The fastener driving machine according to claim 1 , further comprising a filling valve provided on the bottom wall to fill the pressure accumulating container with a gas.

3. The fastener driving machine according to claim 1 , wherein the cylinder includes a connecting portion to be connected to the bottom wall.

4. The fastener driving machine according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom wall has a concave part that extends along the axial direction of the cylinder, and
wherein the pressure accumulating container includes:
a first compression chamber provided on the second side of the cylinder; and
a second compression chamber formed by the concave part.

5. The fastener driving machine according to claim 2 , wherein the filling valve is disposed in a space between the handle and the cylinder.

6. The fastener driving machine according to claim 2 , wherein
the filling valve is tilted toward an inner wall of the housing, and
a joint part is provided at a tip of the filling valve, the joint part being adjacent to the inner wall of the housing.

7. The fastener driving machine according to claim 2 , wherein the filling valve has a base part and a tip part, the base part being mounted on the bottom wall, the tip part being bent toward an inner wall of the housing from the base part, a joint part being provided at a tip of the tip part.

8. The fastener driving machine according to claim 2 , wherein the filling valve has a base part and a rotary part, the base part being mounted on the bottom wall, the rotary part being rotatably coupled to the base part, the rotary part being bent toward an inner wall of the housing from the base part, a joint part being provided at a tip of the rotary part.

9. The fastener driving machine according to claim 2 , wherein the housing includes a lid configured to expose the filling valve to outside.

10. The fastener driving machine according to claim 9 , wherein the lid is detachably attached to the housing by a screw.

11. The fastener driving machine according to claim 9 , further comprising a hinge to attach the lid to the housing.

12. The fastener driving machine according to claim 1 , further comprising a relief valve provided on the bottom wall, the relief valve being configured to discharge a gas to outside.

13. The fastener driving machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a ring-shaped first sealing member disposed between an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder and the first cylindrical portion of the bottom wall; and
a ring-shaped second sealing member disposed between the second cylindrical portion of the bottom wall and the third cylindrical portion of the top wall.

14. The fastener deriving machine according to claim 13 , wherein
the first cylindrical portion overlaps with the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder to sandwich the ring-shaped first sealing member therebetween in a radial direction of the cylinder, and
the second cylindrical portion overlaps with the third cylindrical portion to sandwich the ring-shaped second sealing member therebetween in the radial direction of the cylinder.

15. A fastener driving machine comprising:
a cylinder having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side;
a piston inserted into the cylinder and allowed to reciprocate in the cylinder to drive a driver blade so that a fastener is driven into a member, the first side of the cylinder being on a side of a bottom dead center of the piston;
a housing including a cylinder case housing the cylinder, and a handle extending from the cylinder case in a first direction crossing an axial direction of the cylinder;
a pressure accumulating container disposed on the second side of the cylinder, the pressure accumulating container comprising:
a bottom wall having (1) a first cylindrical portion coupled to the second side of the cylinder, (2) a bottom portion extending outwardly from the first cylindrical portion, the bottom portion having a round shape in an axial-direction view of the cylinder, and (3) a second cylindrical portion disposed along a periphery of the round-shaped bottom portion; and
a top wall having a third cylindrical portion coupled to the second cylindrical portion of the bottom wall,

wherein the first cylindrical portion overlaps with an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder to sandwich a ring-shaped first sealing member therebetween in a radial direction of the cylinder, and
wherein the second cylindrical portion overlaps with the third cylindrical portion to sandwich a ring-shaped second sealing member therebetween in the radial direction of the cylinder.
