/Pusher Mechanism For Powered Fastener Driver
Abstract

A powered fastener driver including: a nosepiece coupled to a housing and extending therefrom; a driver blade movable within the nosepiece between a ready position and a driven position; a canister magazine coupled to the nosepiece in which collated fasteners are receivable; and a pusher mechanism coupled to the nosepiece for individually transferring collated fasteners in the canister magazine to a driver channel in the nosepiece in which the driver blade is movable, the pusher mechanism including a feeder arm coupled to the nosepiece for relative translation therewith, and a solenoid having a solenoid housing and a plunger extending therefrom, the plunger being coupled to the feeder arm for imparting reciprocating translation to the feeder arm in response to activation and deactivation of the solenoid; wherein the feeder arm reciprocates along a first axis, and wherein the plunger defines a second axis that is parallel with the first axis.
