Abstract (en)

[origin: DE4313504A1] The explosive-actuated driving tool has a channel (7) between a piston guide (2) for a piston (1) and a housing part (6). This channel (7) continues opposite the driving direction in a support (3) and is connected to a cartridge receptacle (4). On the driving-direction side, the channel (7) is connected via an opening (2c) in the piston guide (2) to the guide bore (2a) for the piston (1). Provided in the channel (7) is a valve device which serves to connect the regions, on the driving-direction side, of the channel (7) and the guide bore (2a) to form a storage space closed to the atmosphere. The propellent gases enclosed in this storage space are compressed by the piston (1) and serve, after completion of the driving-in operation, under expansion, to return the piston (1) to its rear starting position. A passage (3a) connects the spaces, adjoining the piston (1) opposite the driving direction, to the atmosphere so that these spaces are sufficiently vented, which on the one hand leads to unhindered driving-back of the piston (1) into its rear starting position and on the other hand allows a residual proportion of the explosive gases to escape. <IMAGE>
