Abstract: A fastener driving apparatus having a carriage supporting a fastener driver and adapted for translation across a flooring member being fastened by fasteners from the fastener driver. The fastener driver is preferably supported in a carriage at an angle with respect to a fully vertical position for driving fasteners at an angle with respect to the flooring member and more preferably into the side of the flooring member and into the underlying structure. More preferably, the angle of the fastener driver is adjustable. Carriage motion elements permit translation of the fastener driving apparatus across the flooring and are preferably arranged so that they exert a lateral force upon the apparatus when the apparatus is pushed. This lateral force preferably causes one or more carriage guide elements running alongside the flooring member to remain in contact with the flooring member, thereby maintaining a constant positional relationship between the fastener driving apparatus and the flooring member for accurate fastener placement. A pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical, or other such circuit is employed to transmit signals from at least one trigger to a valve, an actuator, or the fastener driver, in each case resulting in actuation of the fastener driver to drive a fastener into the flooring member at a desired time. The trigger can be a manually-operated trigger, a cam-operated trigger on a carriage motion element for periodically triggering the fastener driver, a follower trigger for physically sensing structure underlying the flooring member, and/or a sensor trigger for detecting density underlying the flooring member.

Abstract: A fastener driving apparatus (1) having a carriage (10) supporting a fastener driver (18) and adapted for translation across a flooring member (42) being fastened by fasteners from the fastener driver (18). The fastener driver (18) is preferably supported in the carriage (10) at an angle with respect to a fully vertical position in order to drive fasteners at an angle with respect to the flooring member (42) and more preferably into the side of the flooring member (42) and into the underlying structure. More preferably, the angle of the fastener driver (18) is adjustable. Carriage motion elements (36) permit translation of the fastener driving apparatus (1) across the flooring (44) with a support wheel (50) preferably arranged so as to exert a lateral force upon the apparatus (1) when the apparatus (1) is pushed. This lateral force preferably causes one or more carriage guide elements (40) running alongside the flooring member (42) to remain in contact with the flooring member (42), thereby maintaining a constant positional relationship between the fastener driving apparatus (1) and the flooring member (42), for accurate fastener placement.

Abstract translation: 一种紧固件驱动装置（1），其具有支撑紧固件驱动器（18）的滑架（10），并适于通过紧固件从紧固件驱动器（18）紧固的地板构件（42）平移。 紧固件驱动器（18）优选地相对于完全垂直的位置以一定角度被支撑在滑架（10）中，以便相对于地板构件（42）以一定角度驱动紧固件，并且更优选地向 地板构件（42）并进入下面的结构。 更优选地，紧固件驱动器（18）的角度是可调节的。 托架运动元件（36）允许紧固件驱动装置（1）跨越地板（44）与支撑轮（50）平行，该支撑轮优选地布置成当装置（1）在装置（1）上施加横向力时， 被推 该横向力优选地使一个或多个沿着地板构件（42）运动的托架引导元件（40）保持与地板构件（42）接触，从而保持紧固件驱动装置（1）和 地板构件（42），用于精确的紧固件放置。
