Abstract
A ratchet member 23, which is provide with a slope 24 for guiding a tip end of a nail inclined to a rear side of an ejection opening 7 into the ejection openings 7 and 16, and a guide surface 25 for guiding the tip end of a nail to the center of each of the ejection openings 7 and 16, is provided on a rear side of ejection openings 7 and 16 and urged so that a guide surface 25 of the ratchet member 23 enters the ejection openings 7 and 16.
Claims10
A nailing machine comprising:
- a driver that is configured to hammer out a nail;
- a nose portion having a first ejection opening for slidably guiding the driver;
- a contact holder fixed to a lower end of the nose portion,
- a nose top that is held by the contact holder and slidable with respect to the nose portion and the contact holder along a direction in which the nail is hammered out, wherein the nose top includes a second ejection opening aligned with the first ejection opening of the nose portion;
- side walls formed in the nose top on a rear side of the second ejection opening;
- and
- a ratchet member, disposed in the nose top and provided between the sidewalls, and including a slope for guiding an end portion of the nail that is inclined toward a rear side of the second ejection opening into the second ejection opening, and a guide surface for guiding the end portion of the nail to a center of the second ejection opening,
- wherein the ratchet member is urged so that the guide surface of the ratchet member enters into the second ejection opening.
