Abstract
A nail-removing device operatively associable with a pneumatic nail driver, affording a method of improving the pneumatic nail driver. The nail-removing device has a shaft extending between a nail end and a driver end. The nail end provides an engagement portion for engaging the underside of a nail. The driver end provides a stabilizing interface configured to operatively associate with the pneumatic nail driver so as to prevent lateral movement of the pneumatic nail driver relative to the stabilizing interface. The engagement portion and the stabilizing interface may be spaced apart from the shaft in the same direction.
Claims7
A nail removing device configured to operatively associate with an pneumatic nail driver, the nail removing device comprising
- a shaft extending between a nail end and a driver end;
- the nail end providing a nail engager, wherein the nail engager extends in a first direction oriented substantially orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the shaft;
- the driver end providing a driver shaft that extends in the first direction;
- a driver interface for the pneumatic nail driver, wherein the driver interface is disposed on the driver shaft and extends toward the nail engager in a second direction parallel with said longitudinal axis;
- the pneumatic nail driver operatively associated with the driver interface to provide a linear force directed in a third direction opposite the second direction;
- and
- a guard extending from the shaft in the first direction so as to be disposed between the pneumatic nail driver and the nail engager.
