Abstract

A pneumatic tool driving assembly comprises: a valve housing defining first and second chambers and a valve opening; a valve mechanism including a valve actuator that extends into the valve housing, and a valve member that is disposed for closing the valve opening and that is actuated by the valve actuator to uncover the valve opening; and a trigger mechanism pivoted to an exterior of the valve housing so as to be pressible relative to the valve housing. The trigger mechanism includes a detachable wrench that is spaced apart from the valve housing, and a pivot joint that is pivoted to the valve housing and that brings the wrench to pivot relative to the valve housing.

Claims

1. A pneumatic tool driving assembly comprising:

a valve housing defining first and second chambers and a valve opening that is disposed between said first and second chambers for fluid communication between said first and second chambers;

a valve mechanism including a valve actuator that extends into said valve housing, and a valve member that is disposed in said valve housing for closing said valve opening and that is actuated by said valve actuator to uncover said valve opening; and

a trigger mechanism pivoted to an exterior of said valve housing so as to be pivotably pressible relative to said valve housing between a non-pressed position and a pressed position, said trigger mechanism driving said valve actuator to move to actuate said valve member when moving from the non-pressed position to the pressed position, said trigger mechanism including a detachable wrench that is spaced apart from said valve housing, and a pivot joint that is pivoted to said valve housing and that brings said wrench to pivot relative to said valve housing between the non-pressed position and the pressed position.

2. The pneumatic tool driving assembly of claim 1, wherein said trigger mechanism further includes a wrench connector, said wrench connector having a top plate which has opposite first and second ends, and a first U-shaped plate which is disposed between and spaced apart from said first and second ends of said top plate and which is connected to and cooperates with said top plate to define a first slot therebetween, said wrench extending removably through said first slot so as to be held detachably on said wrench connector.

3. The pneumatic tool driving assembly of claim 2, wherein said wrench connector further has a second U-shaped plate that is spaced apart from said first U-shaped plate, that is disposed adjacent to said first end of said top plate and that extends downwardly from and that cooperates with said top plate to define a second slot therebetween, said wrench extending removably through said second slot, said pivot joint being integrally formed with and protruding outwardly from said second U-shaped plate.

4. The pneumatic tool driving assembly of claim 3, wherein said wrench has an open-end wrench head and a handle extending from said open-end wrench head, said open-end wrench head being received in said second slot, said handle being exposed and accessible from and being slidable on a bottom side of said top plate so as to facilitate removal of said wrench from said wrench connector.

5. The pneumatic tool driving assembly of claim 1, wherein said trigger mechanism further includes a wrench connector that defines an accommodating recess, said pivot joint being integrally formed with and protruding outwardly from said wrench connector, said wrench having an open-end wrench head and a handle that extends from said open-end wrench head, one of said open-end wrench head and a free end of said handle extending fittingly and detachably into said accommodating recess, the other of said open-end wrench head and said free end of said handle being disposed outwardly of said wrench connector.

6. The pneumatic tool driving assembly of claim 1, wherein said wrench has an open-end wrench head and a handle extending from said open-end wrench head and having a free end that is disposed opposite to said open-end wrench head, said pivot joint being disposed adjacent to said free end and being integrally formed with and protruding outwardly from said handle.

7. The pneumatic tool driving assembly of claim 6, wherein said trigger mechanism further includes a sleeve that is sleeved on said open-end wrench head, said handle being in contact with said valve actuator.
