Abstract: A powered fastener driver includes a driver blade movable from a top-dead-center (TDC) position to a driven or bottom-dead-center (BDC) position for driving a fastener into a workpiece. The driver blade also includes a tooth defining an end portion. A drive unit provides torque to move the driver blade from the BDC position toward the TDC position. A rotary lifter is engageable with the driver blade and is configured to receive torque from the drive unit to return the driver blade from the BDC position toward the TDC position. The lifter has a drive pin and a roller positioned on and rotatable relative to the drive pin about a rotational axis. The roller includes a center of gravity that is offset from the rotational axis.

Abstract: An oscillating power tool including a housing, a motor including a drive shaft rotatable about a motor axis, an output spindle configured to be driven by the motor and journaled for oscillating rotation about an oscillation axis, and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is configured to convert rotation of the drive shaft into oscillating rotation of the output spindle about the oscillation axis and includes an eccentric member and a forked member. Oscillating rotation of the forked member has an angular amplitude about the oscillation axis. The eccentric member is movable with respect to the forked member to change the angular amplitude of oscillating rotation of the forked member. An amplitude adjustment actuator is configured to move the eccentric member to change the angular amplitude of oscillating rotation of the forked member. The amplitude adjustment actuator defines a receptacle. At least a portion of the forked member is disposed in the receptacle.

Abstract: A random orbit sander includes a housing and a motor enclosed within the housing. The motor includes a motor shaft that is rotatable about a first axis. An eccentric carrier coupled to the motor shaft includes a circular internal bore that defines a second axis that is offset from the motor shaft. A bearing is received within the circular internal bore of the eccentric carrier. A sanding pad is supported by the bearing and is rotatable about the first axis in an eccentrically orbiting manner. The motor shaft and the eccentric carrier are integrally formed as a single piece.

Abstract: A powered fastener driver includes a driver blade movable from a top-dead-center (TDC) position to a bottom-dead-center (BDC) position for driving a fastener into a workpiece and a drive unit for providing torque to move the driver blade from the BDC position toward the TDC position. A rotary lifter is engageable with the driver blade and configured to receive torque from the drive unit for returning the driver blade from the BDC position toward the TDC position. The lifter has a body, a drive pin coupled to the body, and a roller positioned on the drive pin. The roller includes an engagement section configured to receive an end portion of a tooth of the driver blade. The lifter includes a means for aligning the engagement section with the end portion of the tooth on the driver blade to facilitate meshing between the end portion and the roller.

Abstract: A powered fastener driver includes a driver blade movable from a top-dead-center (TDC) position toward a driven or bottom-dead-center (BDC) position for driving a fastener into a workpiece, a gas spring mechanism for driving the driver blade toward the BDC position, and a lifter assembly having a rotary lifter for returning the driver blade from the BDC position toward the TDC position. The powered fastener driver further includes an arm upon which the rotary lifter is supported, a motor which, in a first position of the rotary lifter, provides torque to the rotary lifter to return the driver blade from the BDC position toward the TDC position, and a brake mechanism including an electromagnet which, when activated, causes the rotary lifter to move from the first position toward a second position in which the rotary lifter is not engageable with the driver blade.

Abstract: A powered fastener driver including a housing defining a cylinder support portion with a cylinder and a motor housing portion. The driver includes a piston and a driver blade. The piston is movable within the cylinder from a top-dead-center (TDC) position to a bottom-dead-center (BDC) position with a blade attached thereto for driving a fastener. The driver includes a lifter for moving the piston and blade, in unison, from the BDC position toward the TDC position. The driver includes a nosepiece from which the fastener is discharged, a motor disposed in the motor housing portion, a fan coupled to the motor to receive torque therefrom, causing the fan to generate an airflow, and a conduit for directing the airflow to at least one of away from the cylinder to clear and/or prevent debris accumulated in the cylinder support portion of the housing, or toward the cylinder for cooling the cylinder.

Abstract: A powered fastener driver includes a driver blade movable from a top-dead-center (TDC) position toward a driven or bottom-dead-center (BDC) position, a gas spring mechanism for driving the driver blade toward the BDC position, a lifter assembly having a rotary lifter for returning the driver blade from the BDC position toward the TDC position, and an arm upon which the rotary lifter is supported. The fastener driver also includes a motor which, in a first position of the rotary lifter, provides torque to the rotary lifter to return the driver blade from the BDC position toward the TDC position. The fastener driver further includes a brake mechanism which, when activated, redirects torque from the motor away from the rotary lifter and toward the arm, causing the lifter assembly to move from the first position toward a second position in which the rotary lifter is not engageable with the driver blade.
