Abstract (en)

[origin: US5671642A] A driving device for driving a fastener (2) includes a centering mechanism (9) for centering and guiding the fastener (2). The centering mechanism includes centering elements (10, 26, 36, 37) that are tiltably or slidably connected to a mounting body (3) to be movable in directions tangential to the fastener. The centering elements (10) have contact surfaces (19) for contacting the fastener (2) that are each substantially parallel to the direction of motion of the respective centering element (10). In this manner, the centering elements (10) cannot be deflected radially away from the fastener, and any forces applied laterally outwardly by the fastener against the contact surfaces (19) are rigidly received and resisted by the centering elements (10) and the mounting body (3) in which they are held.
