Abstract

To upgrade the practicability of the feed of a nail connecting body in a magazine by using a spring. The magazine (4) is provided with (a) a rectilinear loading part (13) which loads the nail connecting body N; and (b) a feed member (34) which is loaded on this rectilinear loading part (13) so that it can slide easily. The feed member (34) is provided with (c) a slider (35) which makes up the main body; and (d) a feed pawl (43). The feed pawl (43) is attached to the slider (35) by the pin (42) so that it can turn freely and so that it can latch onto and be detached from the nail connecting body N and it is energized by the dual purpose compression torsion spring (46) at a latching position. The feel pawl (43) can be latched onto any nail n of the nail connecting body N. As a result, nail connecting bodies N can be added and nail connecting bodies N with a connection which is longer than the motion stroke of the feed member (34) can be used so that the applicability of the nail driving device can be significantly upgraded.

Dependent claims

A magazine which loads fastener connecting bodies which are connected so that the multiple fasteners are arranged so that they are parallel to one another and which feeds the fasteners one by one to the front of a driving rod,

the invention being characterized as a fastener magazine which is provided with (a) a rectilinear loading part which loads the aforementioned fasteners at a position where they extend in a straight line;
and (b) a feed member which feeds the fasteners which have been loaded on the aforementioned rectilinear loading part toward the front of the aforementioned rod;
the aforementioned feed member is attached to the aforementioned rectilinear loading part so that it can slide freely and so that it can move freely in the direction in which the fasteners are arranged on the fastener connecting bodies and at the same time, it is energized by a spring so that it can move freely toward the side of the aforementioned rod. A feed pawl which is used to feed the fastener connecting bodies by moving the feed member is set on this feed pawl so that it can easily change to latching and unlatching be separating from the fasteners when any of the fasteners on the fastener connecting body are pushed to the side of the rod;
