  • Patent number: 7905378
    Abstract: A trigger valve includes a valve base, a valve rod, a sliding portion and a shuttle valve. The valve base is disposed at a gun body of the nail gun between a compressed chamber and a main air valve of the nail gun. The valve rod is capable of being driven by a trigger of the nail gun to move so as to open or close high pressure air from the compressed chamber into the valve base. The sliding portion is capable of being driven by high pressure air to move to cause a safety slide rod of the nail gun producing a displacement along a hitting-nail direction. The shuttle valve is capable of being driven to move under control of the displacement of the sliding portion so as to open or close high pressure air from the valve base into the main air valve.
