Abstract: The present invention provides an automatic nailer system for use in the joinery industry. The system includes a strip including a plurality of plastic ferrules which receive a complementary plurality of nails. Each ferrule is provided with a step which is adapted to co-operate with a surface of a substrate to form a groove for receiving a flange on a trim, each ferrule also having the thicker part thereof tapered to assist in fitting the trim. The ferrules are arranged in a longitudinal row and are connected to each other by at least one severable plastic web. The system further includes an automatic nailer specially adapted to drive the nails individually into a substrate while at the same time severing its associated ferrule from the next adjacent ferrule. Preferably, the automatic nailer includes a cartridge for feeding a plurality of strips into the automatic nailer.

Abstract: The present invention, provides an automatic nailer system, for securing nailed ferrules to a substrate, comprising:a body defining a generally cylindrical channel for receiving a nailed ferrule with the nail and the channel being approximately coaxial;A hammer rod reciprocable within the channel between a retracted position and an extended position;apparatus for feeding a nailed ferrule into the channel when the hammer rod is in its retracted position; anda collet mechanism comprising a plurality of collet pieces which are biased to move radially to abut one another and define a passage;the passage having a tapered section which at its opening has a cross-sectional size and shape generally the same as those of the channel and leading at its other end into a generally cylindrical section for receiving coaxially and snugly the nail of a nailed ferrule,the collet mechanism being located on the end of the body remote from the hammer rod such that the channel and the passage are coaxial and the wider end of the t
