Abstract
A safety catch mechanism, comprising a safety catch that is captively attached to the barrel of a nail gun by matching tracks on both said safety catch and said barrel, facing each other, so that said safety catch is allowed to move only in the forward and backward directions along the barrel of the nail gun in the direction of the motion of the nails, is disclosed. A forward pushing means keeps the forward end of the safety catch beyond the muzzle of the nail gun in the initial secured position. As the safety catch is pushed back, the trigger of the nail gun is activated.

A safety catch mechanism for a nail gun, comprising:
- (a) a safety catch with a safety catch track on the side of the said safety catch facing the barrel of said nail gun;
- (b) a barrel track on the barrel that matches and is captively attached to said safety catch track and allows said safety catch to move only in the forward and backward directions along said barrel of said nail gun;
- and
- (c) a trigger engagement means to allow a trigger of said nail gun to engage when said safety catch is pushed back.
A nail gun, comprising:
- (a) a main body, comprising:
- i. a barrel;
- ii. a magazine set underneath the barrel;
- and
- iii. a handle connected with the main body and comprising a switch thereon;
- (b) a drive set, comprising:
- i. a safety catch mechanism, comprising
- 1. a safety catch with a safety catch track on the side of the said safety catch facing the barrel of said nail gun;
- 2. a barrel track on the barrel that matches and is captively attached to said safety catch track and allows said safety catch to move only in the forward and backward directions along said barrel of said nail gun;
- and
- 3. a trigger engagement means to allow a trigger of said nail gun to engage when said safety catch is pushed back;
- and
- ii. a forward pushing means to keep the forward end of the safety catch beyond the muzzle of the nail gun in the initial secured position, and when said forward pushing means is depressed and said safety catch is pushed back, the trigger of the nail gun is activated;
- and
- (c) a trigger set, comprising:
- i. a trigger pivotally set in front of said switch;
