  • Patent number: 9855646
    Abstract: A safety device for a nailer has a movable element movable between a locking condition and a release firing condition. At least one lock has a stopping end movable to engage an abutment fixed to or carried by the movable element, for stopping it in the locking condition. When disengaged, the stopping end allows translation to the release position. The lock is also provided with an elastic element which acts in the direction of the stopping condition, with an arming mechanism acting counter to the elastic element, for shifting the lock and the respective stopping end for moving to the armed condition. An operator, to put the nailer in the armed and released conditions, must act on the arming mechanism to free the abutment from the stopping end, and he must place the movable element in the release condition to shoot the nail by pulling a trigger.

  • Patent number: 9555529
    Abstract: A device for applying fasteners having one almost flat head having a central pass through hole, two opposed sides having protrusions approximately perpendicular to the head forming shoulders, has a first nail magazine for locking a fastener. A shooting device shoots a nail through the fastener central hole. A second magazine has a slide guide housing a set of fasteners, with tongues oriented in a forward sliding direction, the shoulders oriented towards an outlet. The outlet has jaws hinged to rotation pins, perpendicular to the sliding direction. Front portions of the jaws fully protrude from the second magazine, each jaw having teeth having a shoulder shape to match a shoulder shape of a fastener interposed between the jaws. The teeth elastically and detachably hold the fasteners in an aligned position with the pass through hole and with the shooting direction of the shooting device.

  • Publication number: 20120298713
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a magazine device for a nailer for supplying an ejection chamber with first nails having lengths in a first range or with second nails having lengths in a second range shorter than the lengths of the first nails. The magazine device has at least one sliding channel laterally delimited by two side walls (5, 6) where, in an operating condition, the sliding channel exits into a nail ejection chamber (E). The device (1) has at least one window (8) provided in one side wall facing the respective sliding channel (3). The window has a dimension (H) perpendicular to a longitudinal dimension of the sliding channel equal to or larger than a maximum transverse dimension of the sliding channel. The window has a dimension (L) parallel to the longitudinal dimension of the sliding channel equal to or smaller than a maximum nail length.

  • Patent number: 6308880
    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.

  • Patent number: 5669541
    Abstract: A release mechanism for a compressed-air nail firing tool which includes a trigger that is adapted to act on a pilot valve shutter that activates the nail firing tool. A lever is mounted on the trigger and is operatively associated with a probe that detects the resting position of the nail firing tool on a part being treated. A stem is pivoted on the probe and, in cooperation with a cap that can be applied thereto and as a function of its orientation with respect to the lever, selects single-firing or repeated-firing operation of the nail firing tool.
