Abstract

A fastening tool includes: a cylindrical rotation guide member extending in one direction and rotatably supported; a holding member having an opening to which a driver bit is detachably inserted, and configured to move in an axis direction along the extension direction of the rotation guide member inside the rotation guide member and to rotate together with the rotation guide member; and a moving member configured to move the holding member in a front and rear direction along the rotation guide member.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fastening tool comprising:
a cylindrical rotation guide member extending in an extension direction and rotatably supported;
a holding member having an opening to which a driver bit is detachably inserted, and configured to move in an axis direction along the extension direction of the rotation guide member inside the rotation guide member and to rotate together with the rotation guide member; and
a moving member configured to move the holding member in a front and rear direction along the rotation guide member, the moving member comprising:
a first moving member connected to the holding member and configured to rotate together with the holding member and the rotation guide member and to move in the axis direction along the rotation guide member, and
a second moving member configured to rotatably support the first moving member and to move in the axis direction along the rotation guide member.

2. The fastening tool according to claim 1 , wherein the moving member is configured such that the second moving member rotatably supports the first moving member via a bearing and the second moving member moves the first moving member in the axis direction via the bearing.

3. The fastening tool according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation guide member has a groove portion extending in the axis direction,
wherein the holding member and the first moving member are connected via a connecting member configured to enter the groove portion,
wherein the connecting member is supported in the groove portion so as to be movable along the axis direction of the rotation guide member, and
wherein a rotation operation of the rotation guide member causes the connecting member to be pushed by one side surface or the other side surface of the groove portion according to a rotation direction of the rotation guide member, and to be applied with a force in a circumferential force from the rotation guide member.

4. The fastening tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first drive unit having a first motor configured to rotate the rotation guide member, and a second drive unit having a second motor configured to move the second moving member along the axis direction.

5. The fastening tool according to claim 3 , wherein the connecting member is configured to penetrate the holding member in a radial direction and to protrude from the holding member.

6. The fastening tool according to claim 4 , wherein the first motor is configured to be driven by electricity supplied from a first battery, and the second motor is configured to be driven by electricity supplied from the first battery.

7. A fastening tool comprising:
a cylindrical rotation guide member extending in an extension direction and rotatably supported by a bearing;
a holding member having an attaching/detaching holding mechanism configured to detachably hold a driver bit and provided in an opening to which the driver bit is inserted, and configured to move in an axis direction along the extension direction of the rotation guide member inside the rotation guide member and to rotate together with the rotation guide member; and
a moving member configured to move the holding member in a front and rear direction along the rotation guide member,
wherein the rotation guide member has a groove portion extending in the axis direction,
wherein the holding member and the rotation guide member are connected via a connecting member configured to enter the groove portion,
wherein the attaching/detaching holding mechanism comprises a ball exposed in the opening and a pressing member configured to press the ball in a direction in which the ball is exposed in the opening, and
wherein the connecting member and the ball of the holding member are provided coaxially along the axis direction of the rotation guide member.

8. The fastening tool according to claim 7 , wherein the ball of the attaching/detaching holding mechanism is provided in alignment with a position of the groove portion of the rotation guide member.

9. The fastening tool according to claim 8 , wherein an operation in which the driver bit is inserted and pulled out with respect to the opening of the holding member causes the ball retreating in an outer periphery direction of the holding member to enter the groove portion of the rotation guide member.

10. The fastening tool according to claim 7 , wherein the connecting member is configured to penetrate the holding member in a radial direction and to protrude from the holding member.
