Patent number: 7303105Abstract: A nailing device used for securing hardwood flooring planks to a subfloor using arcuate fasteners. The nailing device comprises a main body in turn defining a fastener discharge opening. The nailing device also comprises an arcuate fastener ejection channel made in the main body and destined to accommodate an arcuate fastener, the arcuate fastener ejection channel opening outwardly of the nailing device at the fastener discharge opening. The nailing device further comprises an arcuate plunger at least partially nested in the arcuate fastener ejection channel and movable along the arcuate fastener ejection channel between first and second limit positions. Moreover, the nailing device comprises a plunger actuator nested in the main body and connected to the arcuate plunger, which can be selectively activated for moving the arcuate plunger between its first and second limit positions.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2006Date of Patent: December 4, 2007Assignee: Laboratoire Primatech Inc.Inventors: Jean-Paul Dion, Marc Dion, Jacques Maltais

Patent number: 7299962Abstract: A nail driving apparatus for maintaining alignment of a nail with an object and driving the nail into the object includes an alignment tube being configured for slidably receiving the nail and maintaining a substantially perpendicular alignment of the nail with a surface of the object. A piston rod is slidably extendable into the alignment tube to strike the nail and drive the nail into the object. A chambering member is coupled to the alignment tube. The chambering member has a chamber in communication with the alignment tube. The chamber has a bottom wall angled toward the alignment tube. The chambering member has a top wall having an insert aperture extending therethrough. The insert aperture receives the nail and the chamber guides the nail into the alignment tube when the piston rod is positioned above the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2005Date of Patent: November 27, 2007Inventor: Emilio N. Perez

Patent number: 7287680Abstract: A nailer for driving a fastener into a workpiece and comprising a main body defining a fastener ejection channel. A plunger is movably carried by the main body and defines a first end for receiving forceful mallet blows and a second end for engaging the fastener, the plunger also comprising a series of teeth and grooves and defining a longitudinal cavity extending between the first and second ends, the plunger being movable relative to the main body between a first limit position in which the plunger second end clears the fastener ejection channel, and a second limit position in which the plunger second end engages the fastener ejection channel. A stem member is carried by the nailer main body and penetrates the plunger longitudinal cavity, the stem member carrying a spring-loaded pawl capable of unidirectional releasable interlocking engagement with the teeth and grooves of the plunger. A plunger biasing member continuously biases the plunger towards the first limit position.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2005Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: Cresswell Industries Inc.Inventor: André Déziel

Patent number: 7287681Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2006Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: De Poan Pneumatic Corp.Inventor: Wan-Fu Wen

Patent number: 7213735Abstract: A staple-driving gun includes a hollow housing configured with first and second air chambers separated by a partition. A piston unit includes an operating member connected fixedly to a sleeve disposed movably in the first air chamber, and a piston rod disposed movably in the sleeve. The operating member is operable so as to move a valve end portion of the sleeve away from the partition. Hence, compressed air flows from the first air chamber into the second air chamber via a valve hole in the partition, and an air-excluding passage constituted by a gap between the valve end portion of the sleeve and an annular flange of a seal washer mounted on the valve end portion of the sleeve, and an air-excluding hole in the valve end portion of the sleeve so as to urge the piston rod to move toward a staple-discharging member.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2006Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: Panrex Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Chen-Ho Ou
