Single Component Intake/Exhaust Valve Member, Fuel Distribution System, And Cooling System For Combustion-Powered Fastener-Driving Tool

US Patent:
2011000, Jan 13, 2011
Filed:
Dec 30, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/811112
Inventors:
Joseph S. Adams - Glenview IL, US
Assignee:
ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC. - Glenview IL
International Classification:
F02B 33/00, F01L 3/00
US Classification:
1235591, 1231881
Abstract:
A new and improved combustion-powered fastener-driving tool utilizes a new and improved single component in-take/exhaust valve member which integrally defines both the intake and exhaust valves thereon. The intake/exhaust valve member is axially movable within the combustion chamber, and operatively cooperates with wall structure of the combustion chamber. When the intake/exhaust valve member is disposed, for example, at a first upper position, both the intake and exhaust ports defined within the wall structure of the combustion chamber are closed so as to permit the ignition and combustion phases of the tool-firing cycle to proceed, whereas, conversely, when the intake/exhaust valve member is disposed, for example, at a second lower position, both the intake and exhaust ports within the combustion chamber are open so as to permit incoming air to scavenge combustion exhaust products and to subsequently mix with injected fuel in preparation for the commencement of another tool-firing cycle.

Combustion Chamber And Cooling System For Fastener-Driving Tools

US Patent:
2010032, Dec 30, 2010
Filed:
Dec 31, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/811546
Inventors:
Joseph S. Adams - Glenview IL, US
Assignee:
ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC. - Glenview IL
International Classification:
B25C 1/08
US Classification:
227 9
Abstract:
A new and improved combustion chamber and cooling system for a fastener-driving tool wherein a new and improved tangentially oriented, vortex induced fuel-injection system is operatively associated with the tool's combustion chamber. In addition, a new and improved trigger-controlled valve actuating system, such as, for example, a switch-operated, solenoid-actuated valve-controlling system, is incorporated within the tool so as to ensure the rapid operation of the intake and outlet valve structures. Still further, a sealed, liquid evaporative or liquid recirculating cooling system is integrally incorporated within the tool housing.
