A portable electric nailing gun operating from a power supply. The motor accelerates a flywheel, which at the appropriate energy state is coupled through a mechanism to an anvil acting directly on the nail. The actuation is governed by a control circuit and initiated from a trigger switch. The stored energy delivered from the motor is coupled to the output anvil drives the nail. At least one position of the output anvil is sensed and once the nail is driven, the power is disconnected from the motor. This method uses a direct acting clutch and a harmonic motion nailing mechanism to reduce wear and increase robustness of the nailer. Elastic elements are used to limit stresses during the impact periods. The electrical control circuit and sensors allow precise control and improve safety. The power supply is preferably a rechargeable low impedance battery pack.

A portable electric nailing gun operating from a power supply. The motor accelerates a flywheel which at the appropriate energy state is coupled through a mechanism to an anvil acting directly on the nail. The actuation is governed by a control circuit and initiated from a trigger switch. The motor accelerates a flywheel that is then clutched to the output anvil causing the nail to be driven. The position of the output anvil is sensed and once the nail is driven, the motor is dynamically braked reducing the excess energy in the flywheel. This method uses a highly responsive motor and power supply which enables the motor to come up to speed, drive the nail and return to a low energy condition in less than 2 seconds. The electrical control circuit and brake allow precise control and improve safety. The power supply is preferably a rechargeable low impedance battery.

A nail lockout assembly provides a way for an operator of a nail gun to have determined whether the nails being employed are properly aligned to allow for efficient operation of the nail gun. The nail lockout assembly may be employed in a nail loading assembly, such as an adjustable angle magazine, which is coupled with a nail driving assembly. A slotted guide member disposed in a housing of the nail loading assembly provides a determination of the angle of the nail loading assembly relative to the nail driving assembly through operational engagement with a projection. A linkage bar is coupled with the slotted guide member and translates the angle of the nail loading assembly to a pusher which engages a nail loaded in the nail loading assembly. A cover serrated member is coupled with a cover of the nail loading assembly. A pawl assembly is coupled with the linkage bar and may engage with the cover serrated member. An adapter couples with the pusher and the pawl assembly enabling rotational movement in each. The nail improperly aligned with the pusher causes the pawl assembly to engage with the cover serrated member and prevents the cover from closing along with preventing the pusher from advancing the nail in the nail loading assembly.

The present invention refers to a dry firing prevention device, especially for use in a nail gun with a drawer type magazine, in which the main body of the nail gun is equipped with a safety apparatus and a dry firing prevention device near a trigger. The dry firing prevention device is disposed on the magazine. When a nail pusher pushes nails until where last few nails are left, the nail pusher will contact with one end of the dry firing prevention device and the other end of the dry firing prevention device blocks the safety apparatus, so that the safety apparatus retains in a safety status to prevent the nail gun from dry firing, so as to prolong the lifetime of the nail gun.

A combustion-powered nail gun drives nails into a workpiece when both a head switch and a trigger switch are turned ON while a safety switch is turned ON. The nail driving operation cannot be performed if the safety switch is not ON even if both the head switch and the trigger switch are ON. The head switch is turned ON when a push lever is urged against the workpiece. Fuel/air mixture in a combustion chamber is ignited when the head switch and the trigger switch are turned ON irrespective of an order in which the head switch and the trigger switch are turned ON, whereby “successive-shot driving” can be performed in which the trigger switch is maintained in its ON position while successively driving a plurality of nails at different locations of the workpiece by repeatedly pushing and releasing the push lever toward and away from the workpiece.
