Abstract
A new and improved mounting system, for fixedly mounting an exhaust gas deflector component upon the upper cap member of a pneumatically-powered fastener-driving tool, comprises a fastener disposed internally within the upper cap member of the pneumatically-powered fastener-driving tool and not extending externally through the exhaust gas deflector component. In this manner, not only does the exhaust gas deflector component of the pneumatically-powered fastener-driving tool exhibit an aesthetically pleasing external appearance, but in addition, the absence of any externally visible fastener structure, extending through the exhaust gas deflector component, permits various indicia, such as, for example, the company logo, to effectively be incorporated upon the external surface portion of the exhaust gas deflector component.
