Abstract
An impact nailing arrangement having a nail with integral pointed target-penetration and securing forward section, rear hammer section, and medial compression shear section, the forward section having a threaded object-securing surface rearwardly of its pointed forward target-securing end. The nail is propelled into a target by a percussion-ignited propellant charge, and the forward section is secured by initial point penetration and subsequent compression shear of the medial shear section to enable the hammer section to impart a secondary securing impact to the forward section.
Claims13
An impact nailing arrangement, comprising
- support means,
- a nail unit carried and directionally oriented by said support means,
- and latent energy means disposed in energy-transmitting relation to said nail unit for imparting linear motion to said nail unit,
- said nail unit having a forward penetrator section, a hammer section and a medial impact-compression shear section between said penetrator section and said hammer section, and which impact-compression shear section is impact-shearable as a function of energizing said latent energy means and resultant linear motion impacting of said penetrator section with a target object to which it is desired to be attached.
