  • Patent number: 7513405
    Abstract: A staple refill which can be stored in a refill storing section in such a manner that the leading one of the sheet-like joined staples wound in roll form is on the upper side and which is adapted to lessen the load on a feeding mechanism for feeding the leading one of the sheet of joined staples in a stapler main body. The staple refill is removably attached to a cartridge installed in a stapler main body. A refill includes a storing section for storing a sheet of joined staples wound in roll form, a discharge port for discharging the sheet of joined staples, and a lead-out passage for leading out the leading part of the sheet of joined staples into the discharge port. The lead-out passage is upwardly bent from the discharge port toward the interior of the storing section, so that the leading part positioned on the upper side of the sheet of joined staples is lead out to the discharge port.

  • Patent number: 7172103
    Abstract: A fastener magazine of, e.g., an electric screwdriver into which connected fasteners of various girths can be loaded to improve the versatility. A fastener magazine (5) of a fastening machine has therein a press plate (9) of spring-pressing type opposed to feed pawl (8) of a fastener feed mechanism. The pressing plate (9) is disposed at a height at which the connecting belt (B) of the connected screws (S) is placed and presses the shafts of the connected screws (S) against the wall face of the feed pawl (8) side. The connecting belt (B) is placed on the top face of the pressing plate (9) and supported. The fastener passage is so broad that even thick fasteners can be loaded, and therefore screws of various girths can be held at predetermined heights. Since the connected screws (S) are pressed against the wall face of the feed pawl (8) side, the engagement between the feed pawl (8) and the connected screws (S) is stable, and resultantly the reliability of screw feed is improved.

  • Publication number: 20050043106
    Abstract: The object of the invention is to make it possible to fill connecting fasteners of various thicknesses in a single kind of fastener magazine. A connecting fastener is such that the thickness of a connecting band (13a, 13b) is increased or decreased according to the stem diameter of a screw (12a, 12b), whereby the width of the connecting fastener (11a, 11b) as seen in the direction of travel thereof is made constant, and the connecting band (13a, 13b) is brought into engagement with a longitudinal guide groove (5a) formed in the fastener passageway of the fastener magazine (5) of a screw fastening machine. This makes it possible to stably hold the connecting fasteners (11a, 11b) of various stem diameters at a given height, thus improving the versatility of the fastener magazine.
