Abstract
A fastener driving tool and an adapter for a fastener driving tool are described herein for permitting accurate placement of fasteners with respect to an edge of a board (e.g., a top edge of a siding board). The adapter may include an adapter body having a central opening for receiving a head of a fastener driving tool and two or more pins positioned in the adapter body. At least two of the pins are positioned in the adapter body such that, when the central opening receives the head, the pins are equidistant from a center of a barrel through which the fastener driving tool drives fasteners.
Claims20
An adapter for a fastener driving tool, the adapter comprising:
- an adapter body having a central opening for receiving a head of a fastener driving tool, wherein the adapter body comprises an upper tab, a first tab, and a second tab;
- and
- only three pins, wherein the three pins comprise:
- an upper pin positioned in the upper tab, wherein the central opening and the upper pin define a vertical axis with respect to the adapter body;
- a first pin positioned in the first tab on a first side of the vertical axis;
- and
- a second pin positioned in the second tab on a second side of the vertical axis opposite the first side;
- wherein the upper pin, the first pin, and the second pin are positioned in the adapter body such that, when the central opening receives the head, the upper pin, the first pin, and the second pin are equidistant from a center of a barrel through which the fastener driving tool drives fasteners.
A fastener driving tool, comprising:
- a barrel through which the fastener driving tool drives fasteners;
- a head, at an end of the barrel, through which the fastener driving tool drives fasteners;
- and
- an adapter positioned on the head, wherein the adapter comprises:
- an adapter body having a central opening for receiving the head, wherein the adapter body comprises an upper tab, a first tab, and a second tab;
- and
- only three pins, wherein the three pins comprise:
- an upper pin positioned in the upper tab, wherein the central opening and the upper pin define a vertical axis with respect to the adapter body;
- a first pin positioned in the first tab on a first side of the vertical axis;
- and
- a second pin positioned in the second tab on a second side of the vertical axis opposite the first side;
- wherein the upper pin, the first pin, and the second pin are positioned in the adapter body such that the upper pin, the first pin, and the second pin are equidistant from a center of the barrel.
A roofing gun, comprising:
- a barrel through which the roofing gun drives roofing nails;
- a head, at an end of the barrel, through which the roofing gun drives roofing nails;
- and
- an adapter positioned on the head, wherein the adapter comprises:
- an adapter body having a central opening for receiving the head, wherein the adapter body comprises an upper tab, a first tab, and a second tab;
- and
- only three pins, wherein the three pins comprise:
- an upper pin positioned in the upper tab, wherein the central opening and the upper pin define a vertical axis with respect to the adapter body;
- a first pin positioned in the first tab on a first side of the vertical axis;
- and
- a second pin positioned in the second tab on a second side of the vertical axis opposite the first side;
- wherein the upper pin, the first pin, and the second pin are positioned in the adapter body such that the upper pin, the first pin, and the second pin are equidistant from a center of the barrel.
