First Claim
Patent Images
1. A fastener driving tool operable through an internal combustion driven piston, the tool comprising:
- (a) a driver body comprising a cylinder head and a piston housing, a piston housed in the piston housing, a driving member attached to the piston;
a combustion chamber defined by the cylinder head, piston housing and piston;
the piston and driving member being axially arranged and configured within the piston housing to drive a fastener upon combustion of a mixture of fuel and air in the combustion chamber;
the cylinder head comprising an interior surface, the cylinder head defining an intake port; and
(b) an intake valve comprising a reed valve, the reed valve being located on the interior surface of the cylinder head, the reed valve comprising a reed portion and a raised, nonresilient seat portion, the raised nonresilient seat portion comprising a raised, annular ridge extending from the interior surface of the cylinder head and enclosing the intake port.
