A stapler has a cartridge which is provided in a cartridge holding chamber of the stapler body in such a way that the cartridge can be pulled out from the cartridge holding chamber, and a locking shaft biased upward by an elastic member is provided in the lower portion of an opening in the cartridge holding chamber. The cartridge has a locking projection and a door member. When the cartridge is pushed into the cartridge holding chamber and held therein, the locking projection is locked with the above-described locking shaft, and, furthermore, the door member is biased in such a way that the opening of the cartridge holding chamber is closed by the above-described locking shaft. When the door member is opened, the locking shaft can be detached from the locking projection by the door member.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2004Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: Max Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kiichi Haramiishi, Katsunori Manabe

Patent number: 7341173Abstract: The exhaust gas diffuser and filter system for a pneumatic nail gun provides for the diffusion and filtering of exhaust gas, which is typically pressurized air, generated by the pneumatic nail gun during usage thereof. The system includes a diffuser plate adapted for covering the exhaust ports of the pneumatic nail gun, and further includes a bag formed from an air permeable material, allowing for further diffusion and filtering of the exhaust gas. The diffuser plate has a plurality of fluid passages formed therethrough, and is adapted for releasable mounting on the exhaust portion of the pneumatic nail gun. The plurality of fluid passages diffuses the exhaust gas produced by the pneumatic nail gun during use. The bag provides for further muffling of exhaust noise and diffusion of the exhaust gas, and further provides filtering thereof.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2006Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Inventor: John L. Arnold

Publication number: 20080035700Abstract: The present invention relates to a quick loading mechanism of magazine of a coil nailer and more particularly to a magazine of a coil nailer that has two corresponding receiving parts possessed on the connection device and the magazine base. Two grooves are implemented inside the receiving parts and two pivot parts are implemented on both sides of the magazine with two flanges provided on the two pivot parts. Through the match of the pivot parts and the flanges with the receiving parts and grooves, a user can rotate the magazine having it positioned slantwise so that the loading port of the magazine will be changed in position from right on the handle to slantwise, then unlock the fixing ridge on the barrel to load nails into the magazine. The mechanism is presumed to have nails being loaded quickly, more conveniently and safely, and the objective of easy operation and safe locking is attained as well.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2006Publication date: February 14, 2008Inventor: Chun-Ming Huang

Patent number: 7325709Abstract: A fastener driving tool having a magazine device including a magazine and a nail feeder. The magazine extends in a first direction and defines an accommodation portion for accommodating therein a fastener array. Each fastener has a shaft with a sharp-end and a head connected to the shaft. The plurality of fasteners are directed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and positioned side by side to form the fastener array extending in the first direction. The magazine has one end and another end in the second direction. One end is close to the sharp end of the fastener and another end is close to the head of the fastener. The accommodation portion includes an expanding portion having a width in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and to the second direction. The width is gradually increased from the one end toward the other end.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2005Date of Patent: February 5, 2008Assignee: Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinori Ishizawa, Hiroki Kitagawa, Masashi Nishida
