  • Patent number: 7377413
    Abstract: A pneumatic nail gun includes a gun body, a movable cylinder, a piston and a slidable sleeve valve. The gun body has a main air housing collecting a compressed high pressure air with a constant pressure, and a trigger at one end of the main air housing driving the high pressure air to shoot a nail. The movable cylinder is disposed in the main housing, which moves upward when the trigger is pressed, and moves downward for reposition when the trigger is released. The piston is slidably movably disposed in the cylinder, which has a driver blade extending from the piston. The driver blade protrudes out of the gun body for punching against the nail in accordance with a downward movement of the piston. The slidable sleeve valve is assembled at an outer peripheral surface of the cylinder, which introduces high pressure air to drive the piston move upward when the cylinder moves downward to its lower dead center, and is driven downward after the piston moves to its upper dead center.

  • Patent number: 7293684
    Abstract: A pneumatic nail gun includes a gun body with a trigger, collecting a compressed high pressure air with a constant pressure, a movable cylinder installed in the gun body, a hitting piston disposed in the cylinder, a valve ring formed outside the cylinder, a head valve disposed on the top of the cylinder, at least one return passage formed outside the cylinder, and a valve bolt disposed in the return passage. Before the trigger is pressed, the high pressure air drives the valve ring to keep the cylinder at the upper position to close the head valve. When the trigger is pressed, the high pressure air drives the cylinder move downwardly to open the head valve for guiding the high pressure air to drive the piston downwardly move to hit nails. When the trigger is released, the high pressure air drives the valve bolt open for guiding the high pressure air via the return passage to drive the piston rapidly move upwardly to reposit.

  • Publication number: 20070251966
    Abstract: A nail driver includes a securing slide rod, a knocking rod, a sleeve and an absorber. The securing slide rod has one end able to push on an inner trigger for actuating the nail driver by a trigger and the other end formed a receiving portion. The knocking rod has one end formed a bolt and the other end able to protrude outside the nail driver to press against a workpiece. The sleeve is connected between the securing slide rod and the knocking rod by screwing the bolt therein and being rotatably and movably received in the receiving portion. The absorber is mounted on an exterior surface of the sleeve to absorb impact passing from the knocking rod to the securing slide rod. As such, the securing slide rod and the knocking rod can be protected when the nail driver is accidentally dropped.

  • Patent number: 7287681
    Abstract: A palm nailer includes a main body, a rotating table mounted on the main body, a mounting seat mounted on the rotating table to connect with a nail magazine. The mounting seat and the nail magazine can rotate with the rotating table. A brake lever is pivotally engaged with the rotating table. The palm nailer further includes a denticulate plate with a number of alveolus formed around the periphery thereof. The brake lever can be resisted by the alveolus to prevent the rotating table rotating so that the nail magazine is fixed at a proper position. The brake lever may also be released from the alveolus to make the rotating table rotate so that the nail magazine can rotate around the main body.
