Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A combustion powered fastener driving tool including a dosing lever that reduces the likelihood of causing inconsistent amounts of fuel to be dispensed by the fuel supply assembly of the tool.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A fastener driving tool dosing lever for a fastener driving tool, the fastener driving tool dosing lever comprising: a body including a first leg connection section, a second leg connection section, a fuel cell door facing section including a first beveled portion, a second beveled portion, a third beveled portion, and an upright portion that connects the fuel cell door facing section to a fuel block contact section, and the fuel block contact section engageable with a fuel cell receiving block of the fastener driving tool upon actuation of the dosing lever, wherein the first beveled portion, the second beveled portion, and the third beveled portion are non-coplanar; a first leg connected to and extending from the body, the first leg including a connection portion connected to the first leg connection section of the body, a first foot opposite the connection portion of the first leg, and a central portion extending between and connected to the connection portion of the first leg and the first foot, the first foot including a toe, a heel, and a sole extending between and connected to the toe and the heel, the sole including a first contact surface of the first foot, the toe including a sloped surface with respect to the sole that defines a second contact surface of the first foot; a second leg connected to and extending from the body, the second leg including a connection portion connected to the second leg connection section of the body, a second foot opposite the connection portion of the second leg, and a central portion extending between and connected to the connection portion of the second leg and the second foot, the second foot including a toe, a heel, and a sole extending between and connected to the toe and the heel, the sole including a first contact surface of the second foot, the toe including a sloped surface with respect to the sole that defines a second contact surface of the second foot; a first lever pivot pin connected to and extending from the first leg; and a second lever pivot pin connected to and extending from the second leg. 2 . The fastener driving tool dosing lever of claim 1 , wherein the first contact surface of the first foot extends at about a 32 degree angle from the second contact surface of the first foot, and wherein the first contact surface of the second foot extends at about a 32 degree angle from the second contact surface of the second foot. 3 . The fastener driving tool dosing lever of claim 1 , wherein the first beveled portion defines a downward sloping rectangular surface, the second beveled portion defines a downward sloping first trapezoidal surface, and the third beveled portion defines a downward sloping second trapezoidal surface. 4 . The fastener driving tool dosing lever of claim 3 , wherein the downward sloping rectangular surface, the downward sloping first trapezoidal surface, and downward sloping second trapezoidal surface form a reduced thickness of the fuel cell door facing section such that the body of the dosing lever does not engage a fuel cell door of the fuel supply assembly during actuation of the dosing lever. 5 . The fastener driving tool dosing lever of claim 4 , wherein the first contact surface of the first foot extends at about a 32 degree angle from the second contact surface of the first foot, and wherein the first contact surface of the second foot extends at about a 32 degree angle from the second contact surface of the second foot.
