1. A pneumatically operated gun for repeatedly striking a fastener for driving the fastener into a workpiece comprising;

  • a main body;

    a drive air chamber section provided in the main body and accumulating therein a compressed air;

    a cylinder disposed in the main body and having an axis and an upper open end;

    a piston reciprocally movably disposed in the cylinder;

    a drive bit provided to the piston and extending in a direction of the axis of the cylinder, the drive bit striking the fastener in a downward movement of the piston;

    a head valve provided above the upper open end of the cylinder, the head valve being movable to contact with the upper open end for shutting off a fluid communication between the drive air chamber and the cylinder above the piston and for discharging compressed air in the cylinder above the piston to an atompshere and movable away from the upper open end for providing fluid communication between the cylinder above the piston and the drive air chamber;

    a head valve chamber section positioned above the head valve;

    a repetitive valve controlling repetitive movement of the head valve for performing repeated striking operation of the drive bit in interlocking relation with the movement of the head valve;

    a trigger valve controlling movement of the head valve;

    a return chamber section disposed in the main body and in communication with the cylinder below the piston;

    a first passage means communicating the return chamber section with the repetitive valve for applying a pneumatic pressure in the return chamber to the repetitive valve;

    a second passage means communicating the head valve chamber section with the repetitive valve;

    a third passage means communicating the repetitive valve with the trigger valve for selectively communicating the head valve chamber section with the trigger valve in accordance with the movement of the repetitive valve; and

    a cylinder guide fixedly disposed at a position immediately above the cylinder and in abutment therewith for preventing the cylinder from being moved in its axial direction, the first passage means being formed in the cylinder guide.
