Abstract

A fastener driving tool includes a housing defining a cavity for insertion of at least one battery, a battery configured for insertion into the cavity and having at least one battery contact element, a terminal module disposed in the cavity, constructed and arranged for engaging the battery and making an electrical connection therewith, the module including at least one terminal module contact element. At least one of the battery and terminal module contact elements incorporates a precious metal alloy and the other of the contact elements is conductive. The respective contact elements are configured for oxidation-free operation in the range of at least about 100g's.

Claims (17)

1. A fastener driving tool, comprising:
a housing defining a cavity for insertion of at least one battery;
a battery configured for insertion into said cavity and having at least one battery contact element;
a terminal module disposed in said cavity, constructed and arranged for engaging said battery and making an electrical connection therewith, said module including at least one terminal contact element;
at least one of said battery and said at least one terminal module contact elements incorporates a precious metal alloy and the other of said contact elements is conductive.
2. The tool of claim 1 wherein said precious metal alloy is taken from the group comprised of silver, gold and platinum.
3. The tool of claim 2 wherein said precious metal alloy is provided on said at least one terminal module contact element.
4. The tool of claim 3 wherein said at least one contact element having said precious metal alloy is provided in the form of a rivet, and said at least one battery contact element is made of a conductive material.
5. The tool of claim 4 wherein said at least one battery contact element is made of stainless steel.
6. The tool of claim 1 wherein said at least one battery contact element has a generally planar contact surface and a radiused terminal engagement edge.
7. The tool of claim 1 wherein said terminal module contact elements are dome-shaped or hemi-spherical, and said battery contact elements have a radiused terminal engagement edge.
8. The tool of claim 1 wherein said at least one terminal module contact element and said at least one battery contact element incorporate precious metal alloy.
9. A fastener driving tool, comprising:
a housing defining a cavity for insertion of at least one battery;
a battery configured for insertion into said cavity and having at least one battery contact element, said at least one contact element being generally planar and having a radiused terminal engagement end; and a terminal module disposed in said cavity, constructed and arranged for engaging said battery and making an electrical connection therewith, said module including at least one spring-biased clip having at least one terminal module contact element being radiused for engagement with said terminal engagement end, said at least one spring biased clip being configured for urging said at least one terminal module contact element against said generally planar surface.
10. The tool of claim 9 wherein at least one of said contact elements incorporates a precious metal and the other of said contact elements is conductive.
11. The tool of claim 10 wherein said precious metal is provided as a rivet fastened to a spring clip of said at least one terminal module.
12. The tool of claim 9 wherein said contact elements are configured for conductive engagement upon exposure to at least about 100g's.
13. A combustion-powered fastener driving tool, comprising:
a housing defining a cavity for insertion of at least one battery;
a battery configured for insertion into said cavity and having at least one battery contact element;

a terminal module disposed in said cavity and constructed and arranged for engaging said battery and making an electrical connection therewith, said module including at least one terminal module contact element;
said at least one battery contact element and said at least one terminal module contact element being configured for maintaining oxidation-free operation in the range of at least about 100g's.
14. The tool of claim 13 wherein at least one of said contact elements incorporates a precious metal and the other of said contact elements is conductive.
15. The tool of claim 14 wherein said precious metal contacts are provided in the form of rivets, and said battery contact elements are made of stainless steel.
16. The tool of claim 13 wherein said at least one battery contact element has a generally planar contact surface and a radiused terminal engagement edge.
17. The tool of claim 16 wherein said terminal module contact elements are dome-shaped or hemi-spherical, and said battery contact elements have a radiused terminal engagement edge.
