  • Publication number: 20130181028
    Abstract: A nail gun of the present invention includes an adjusting portion which has elasticity. The elasticity of the adjusting portion is able to offset a thrust force of a nail pusher pushed by a magazine, so that a nail slot receives a nail only. The nail gun ensures not to shoot two sticks of nails simultaneously. The nail squeezes one side of the adjusting portion in a firing process so that the nail gun can provide sufficient space. Thereby when the nail is thicker, it can be shot by the nail gun. The present invention need not adjust by hand anymore for shooting different thickness of nails. The nail gun can not shoot two sticks of nails simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20090078735
    Abstract: A hand-held hemming mechanism consisting of a operating and stapling mechanism. The stapling mechanism consists of a hammer assembly, operated by a bar connected to a handle. The staples are held in place by the body, a pair of staple hold down assemblies, and the pusher plate. The staples are advanced by a compression spring mounted behind the pusher plate and contained in the rear of the body. A range of staple heights can be accommodated by this construction. A cover with measuring marks covers this upper portion of the invention. This cover also determines the amount of opening allowed for adding or replacing staples. The crimping is provided by an anvil mounted on a lower bar. This anvil has two different crimping slots for the range of staples used. There are two support bars than can be used with this device. One is configured for thin to medium thickness material that has a short hem. A second support bar is “u” shaped to provide a material accumulation for hems that are far longer.
