Fastener driving tool device, on workpiece contact element, forming pocket to minimise vibration to fasteners on strip

摘要

A support device (28) for use within a fastener driving tool is fixedly attached to the tool's work-piece contact element (26) so as to be movable therewith between extended and retracted positions. When the work-piece contact element (26), and the support device mounted thereon, are moved to the retracted position, a pocket (44) or recessed portion of the support device will envelop a tip portion of a second uppermost fastener (14-2) disposed within the tool magazine, while the first uppermost fastener (14-1) is disposed within the tool drive bore, such that the second uppermost fastener (14-2), as well as the remaining fasteners within the magazine, is properly supported and stabilized such that shock and vibrational forces, attendant the driving of the first uppermost fastener (14- 2), are effectively prevented from being transmitted to the second uppermost and remaining fasteners.
