PROFILE LIFTER FOR A NAILER
First Claim
1. A driving tool comprising:
- a frame;
a motor assembly coupled to the frame, the motor assembly including an electric motor, a flywheel driven by the electric motor, a pinch roller and a driver disposed between the flywheel and the pinch roller, the pinch roller being selectively movable from a first position to a second position to drive the driver into engagement with the flywheel, the driver being movable between a returned position and an extended position; and
a resilient member coupled to the frame, the resilient member biasing the driver away from the flywheel to reduce or eliminate contact between the flywheel and the driver when the flywheel is at rest, the driver is in the returned position and the pinch roller is in the first position.

Abstract
A driving tool that includes a frame, a motor assembly and a resilient member. The motor assembly is coupled to the frame and includes an electric motor, a flywheel driven by the electric motor, a pinch roller and a driver disposed between the flywheel and the pinch roller. The pinch roller is selectively movable from a first position to a second position to drive the driver into engagement with the flywheel. The driver is movable between a returned position and an extended position. The resilient member is coupled to the frame and biases the driver away from the flywheel to reduce or eliminate contact between the flywheel and the driver when the flywheel is at rest, the driver is in the returned position and the pinch roller is in the first position. A method for operating a driving tool is also provided.

11. A method of operating a driver comprising:
-
providing a driver that includes a frame and a motor assembly, the motor assembly being coupled to the frame and including an electric motor, a flywheel driven by the electric motor, a pinch roller and a driver disposed between the flywheel and the pinch roller, the pinch roller being selectively movable from a first position to a second position to drive the driver into engagement with the flywheel, the driver being movable between a returned position and an extended position; and supporting the driver on opposite lateral side of the flywheel when the flywheel is at rest, the driver is in the returned position and the pinch roller is in the first position. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A driving tool comprising:
-
a frame; a motor assembly coupled to the frame, the motor assembly having a flywheel that is rotatable about a rotational axis and a driver that is selectively translated by the flywheel from a returned position to an extended position; and a support coupled to the frame, the support having at least one movable portion that contacts the driver when the driver is in the returned position and the flywheel is at rest, the at least one movable portion urging the driver in a direction away from the flywheel. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
