Abstract
A fastener driving apparatus comprises an energy storage means, a drive mechanism, and an anvil assembly. The drive mechanism selectively engages the energy storage means to store potential energy within the energy storage means. After the drive mechanism disengages, potential energy previously stored within the energy storage means impart a force on the anvil assembly to launch the assembly (and incorporated anvil) to drive a fastener. The drive mechanism may comprise a cam for engaging and disengaging the energy storage means. The apparatus may also comprise a nail indexing mechanism for supplying fasteners, which indexing mechanism may also be acted and operated on by the cam. The apparatus may further comprise a gas spring as a return mechanism for returning the anvil assembly to a position after the anvil assembly has separated from the energy storage means.
