Methods and systems for fastening bed foundations

Fastening system comprising, in combination:

• a system frame including first and second side braces;
• first and second support beams moveably supported between the first and second side braces to move toward and away from each other;
• corners at opposite ends of each of the first and second support beams and adapted to receive a component to be fastened;
• first and second slide bars located intermediate and parallel to the first and second support beams and moveably mounted to the first and second support beams and moveable relative to the corners of the first and second support beams and adapted to raise the component to be fastened received in the corners;
• a nail gun carriage moveably mounted to the system frame and moveable between a first position between the corners and a second position beyond the first and second slide bars;
• and a nail gun carried by the nail gun carriage at a consistent height relative to the system frame and greater than the corners.

A fastening system comprising, in combination:

• a system frame including first and second U-shaped channels having spaced, parallel first and second legs;
• a fixture mounted to the system frame and adapted to hold a component to be fastened;
• a carriage including first and second platforms having inner and outer vertical edges parallel to and outside the system frame, with each platform including a wheel rotatably mounted to the inner vertical edge and received between the first and second legs, with a vertical post extending from each platform adjacent the outer vertical surface, with the carriage being moveable relative to the system frame between a first position extensive with the fixture and a second position beyond the fixture;
• a nail gun carried by and between the vertical posts of the first and second platforms;
• a hanger connected to the first platform opposite to the vertical post;
• a flexible cable carrier having a first end secured to the hanger and a second end secured to the system frame, with the flexible cable carrier having a C-shaped portion extending from the hanger and an elongated portion parallel to the system frame, with a distance of the C-shaped portion from the hanger changing with movement of the carriage;
• and cables carried by the flexible cable carrier and connected to the nail gun;
• and
• first and second endless belts located on and clamped to the first and second platforms, outside the system frame, inside the vertical posts of the first and second platforms, and extending between pulleys of first and second shafts, with the first shaft being driven, with the first platform being intermediate the hanger and the first belt.

Fastening system comprising, in combination:

• a system frame including first and second side braces;
• first and second support beams moveably supported between the first and second side braces to move toward and away from each other;
• squaring corners extending to a fixture height above the system frame at opposite ends of each of the first and second support beams and adapted to receive a component to be fastened;
• first and second slide bars located intermediate and parallel to the first and second support beams and moveably mounted to the first and second support beams and moveable relative to the corners of the first and second support beams and adapted to raise the component to be fastened received in the squaring corners;
• a nail gun carriage moveably mounted to the system frame and moveable between a first position between the corners and a second position beyond the first and second slide bars;
• a nail gun carried by the nail gun carriage at a consistent height relative to the system frame and greater than the squaring corners;
• and an adjustable spacer mounted on the frame and having an adjustable height intermediate the fixture height and the frame and adapted to abut the component held in the fixture, with the system frame including first and second U-shaped channels having spaced, parallel first and second legs facing outwardly, with the nail gun carriage including first and second platforms having inner and outer vertical edges parallel to and outside the system frame, with each platform including a wheel rotatably mounted to the inner vertical edge and received between the first and second legs, with a vertical post extending from each platform adjacent the outer vertical surface, with the nail gun mounted to and carried by a mount moveably supported between the vertical posts of the first and second platforms, wherein the nail gun includes a roller having a circumferential V-shaped groove extending radially inward of a cylindrical outer surface thereof, wherein the roller is rotatably mounted about an axis to a tab of a roller bracket connected to the mount, with the roller bracket further including a flat board extending from the tab tangential to but spaced from the cylindrical outer surface of the roller, wherein the nail gun includes a belt drum rotatably mounted to the mount, with the drum adapted to carry the spool of fasteners in the form of nails having heads, wherein a distance between a bottom of the circumferential V-shaped groove and the flat board is adapted to be equal to and arranged for receiving the heads of the nails, with the flat board adapted to providing a stationary contact plane for the nails, and wherein the nail gun further includes a plunger slideably biased towards and engaging with an outer circumference of the belt drum to require a tensional force by the fastener belt to result in rotation of the belt drum.
