Abstract
A compressed-air nail firing tool having a body, inside which a device for the actuation of a striking blade adapted to engage a firing channel is accommodated, the firing channel being formed along a tube which lies in a front region of the body, and a magazine, which is rigidly coupled to the body and is connected to the firing channel and inside which a ribbon of nails is adapted to loaded, the nails being meant to be fed individually to the firing channel, under the actuation of an advancement device which is associated with the magazine. In a region for feeding to the firing channel the nails are guided with their respective head along a slot which leads into the firing channel, permitting feeding of ribbons of nails retained by a strip of plastics or retained by soldered metal wires.
Claims2
A compressed-air nail firing tool in combination with a ribbon of nails, comprising:
- a body wherein a firing channel is defined, means for the actuation of a striking blade adapted to engage said firing channel being accommodated in said body, said firing channel being formed along a tube which lies in a front region of said body;
- a magazine, which is rigidly coupled to said body and is connected to said firing channel and inside which said ribbon of nails is loaded;
- an advancement device associated with said magazine for individually feeding the nails of said ribbon of nails to said firing channel;
- a plate associated with said tube and adapted to be closed by a cover hinged at said tube, said ribbon of nails unwinding between said plate and said cover in a closed configuration;
- a slot formed in said plate and leading into said firing channel, said nails of said ribbon of nails being guided with a first top portion of their respective head sliding along in engaging contact with said slot;
- and
- a wing formed on said cover and extending parallel to said slot when said cover is in said closed configuration so that said wing acts as a guiding support for a second bottom portion of the nails opposite to said first top portion slidingly engaging said slot such that said second bottom portion of the head of the nails sliding along in engaging contact with said wing when said nails are retained by a strip of plastics or by soldered wires of said ribbon of nails.
