Abstract
A secondary magazine for a nailing device, such as a portable nailer, adapted to be connected to a main magazine of nails. More particularly, a main housing of the main magazine and a secondary housing of the secondary magazine respectively have a first longitudinal axis of symmetry and a second longitudinal axis of symmetry, transverse such as substantially perpendicular to each other; each magazine configured to house at least one nail of axis of symmetry; the nails of the main magazine being arranged in rows stacked along the first longitudinal axis of symmetry which is also transverse such as substantially perpendicular to the axis of the nail; the nails of the secondary magazine being arranged in rows stacked along the second axis of longitudinal symmetry.
Claims21
A nailing device comprising:
- a main magazine having a main housing having a first longitudinal axis of symmetry and configured to hold first nails each having an axis of symmetry such that the first nails are arranged in a row along the first longitudinal axis of symmetry that is transverse to the axis of symmetry of the first nails,
- a secondary magazine having a secondary housing having a second longitudinal axis of symmetry transverse to the first longitudinal axis of symmetry of the main housing of the main magazine,
- wherein the secondary housing defines a chamber configured to house second nails each having an axis of symmetry
- such that the second nails are arranged in a plurality of rows stacked along the second longitudinal axis of symmetry that is substantially parallel to the axis of symmetry of the second nails, wherein a shank of each of the second nails extends along the axis of symmetry of the respective second nail.
