Patent number: 11673241Abstract: A magazine is configured to be removably coupled to a power tool housing of a power tool. The magazine has a housing configured to be rotatably attachable to the power tool housing. An advancing mechanism is received in the magazine housing, and is configured to advance a strip of collated fasteners into position to be driven by the power tool. An indexing ring has a plurality of recesses and is configured to be non-rotatably attached to the power tool housing. A detent is biased to removably engage one of the plurality of recesses, and is configured to be non-rotatably attached to the magazine housing. The detent removably engages the recesses to allow for indexed tool-free rotation of the magazine housing relative to the power tool housing.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2019Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: BLACK & DECKER INC.Inventors: James Dunlap Hays, John P. Zellinger, Rex A. Marshall, Jr., Wesson Charles, Joseph P. Kelleher, John K. Horky

Patent number: 10766127Abstract: A nosepiece assembly includes a first nosepiece portion including a fastener guide. The fastener guide has a support ledge to position a first fastener of a collated strip of fasteners in a drive channel. The nosepiece assembly also includes a second nosepiece portion connected to the first nosepiece portion opposite to the fastener guide with the first and second nosepiece portions defining the drive channel therebetween and defining a debris ejection passage therebetween. The debris ejection passage extends between the drive channel and a debris ejection aperture on an exterior surface of the nosepiece assembly.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Talon Curtis, James D. Hays, Rex A. Marshall, Jr., Larry E. Gregory, Evan Cain

Patent number: 10350741Abstract: A replaceable positioning tip can be removably fixedly coupled to a distal end of the trip arm. The positioning tip can define a tip nail guide groove having a proximal portion extending at a first angle substantially parallel to a nail driver axis and a distal end tapering at a second angle. The tapered distal end can be encompassed by a thin-walled portion. A nail tip lifter can be coupled to the rear nail guide housing for pivotable movement between a first position adjacent the positioning tip and a second position away from the positioning tip. The nail tip lifter can define a lifter nail guide groove extending from its inception at a proximal end to a distal end. A biasing member can be positioned between the rear nail guide housing and the nail tip lifter to bias the nail tip lifter toward the first position.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Lee M.
