NAILING TOOL This invention relates to a nailing tool and particularly to a portable stapling device for driving staples and other fastening means, in particular nails, into a work piece, which staples are in the form of a strip and inserted into a magazine secured to the body of the device. The magazine is equipped with a resiliently driven slide for the advance of the staples.
When hand held power operated devices of this type are actuated by compressed air, electrical energy or by other sources of power, they have a high degree of efl'rciency and use a great number of staples or nails per unit of time. Therefore it is necessary that the magazine comprises a relatively large storage chamber such that repeated interruptions of operation for inserting new strips of staples are minimized as far as possible. If the magazine is mounted in a generally normal or inclined position with respect to the center axis of the tool body, enlarging the store space will greatly increase the dimensions of the tool, rendering it cumbersome and heavy.
It is known in the art to design the magazine assembly of a nail driving tool in the shape of a drum for receiving a lengthy coiled nail strip. However, with a magazine drum of this type, the advance of the nail strip toward the discharging aperture of the tool is only possible by means of special gripping means mounted adjacent the discharge opening of the tool, as the nail strip coiledinside of the magazine drum has no lateral guidance. Besides, a magazine drum has a large radial overhang, and handling of the tool is'rendered unnecessarily cumbersome.
It is therefore an important object of the present invention to provide a tool of the type described above with a magazine assembly with an increased storing chamber which can receive a larger number of fastening means, particularly nails, than hitherto without substantially enlarging the external dimensions of the tool body. Another object of the invention is the provision of a magazine assembly into which strips of fasteners can be inserted in a very easy and simple manner. A further object is to provide a pneumatic stapling device of the type described above which can easily and comfortably be manipulated.
These and other objects and features will appear more clearly from the following specification in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a view of a hand held power operated tool for driving nails into a work piece, embodying the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a partial longitudinal section of FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is a sectional view in the helical plane III-III of the helical magazine channel of FIG. 1,
FIG. 4 is a sectional view in the plane IV-IV of FIG. 3, and
' FIG. 5 is an enlarged sectional view taken at V-V of FIG. 3.
The hand held power operated tool according to the present invention comprises a magazine assembly with a channel for receiving a strip of fasteners. The channel winds itself from its loading end to its discharge end in generally a helical manner; around the center axis of the tool body. A slide of the magazine assembly supports a reel for winding up a coil spring. One end of the spring is anchored at the discharge opening of the tool. A magazine assembly of this type provided with a helical channel for receiving the strip of fasteners is of a small radial dimension in relation to its storage capacity and permits a long strip of fasteners to be inserted to permit driving into a work piece a relatively large number of fasteners, especially nails, without having to reload the tool frequently, which would necessarily lead to many interruptions of its operation.
According to a particularly favorable feature of, the invention, the magazine channel receiving the strip of fasteners is arranged helically around the tool body. A magazine of this construction provides advantageous utilization of space since the tool body with the radially wound helix-type channel necessitates only slightly larger dimensions such that its handling is not affected. Yet the helical magazine can receive a particularly large quantity of fasteners.
If nails are used as fasteners in the form of a strip, with the circular heads of the nails overlapped like fish scales, their shafts aligned parallel and spaced the smallest possible interval from one another, it is recommended to arrange the helically coiled magazine channel in parallel relation to the upper edge of the scale-like overlapping nail heads. Thus, the entire length of the nail strip, which extends in an oblique direction with respect to the nail shafts, can be inserted into the magazine channel.
Preferably the outer wall of the magazine channel is provided with a full length longitudinal slot for guiding the slide carrying the reel for the coil spring in a manner such that effective guidance is provided over the entire length of the magazine channel and such that the nail strip is advanced, free from interference, into the discharge channel of the tool. It is advantageous to aifix to the slide a prolongation, which abuts against the rear end of the nail strip and is of larger width than the width of the longitudinal slot of the outer wall of the magazine channel. This prolongation is suitably arranged in tangential direction to the helical line of the magazine channel and abuts, therefore, at all times to the rear end of the nail strip. The coil spring wound over part of its length onto the reel of the slide is approximately of the same width as the longitudinal slot of the magazine wall and thereby covers the nail strip in the slot. I-Ierefrom accrues the particular advantage that even nails or other fasteners or staples having shafts or shanks of shorter dimension than the width of the longitudinal slot, cannot drop out from the magazine channel.
In order to permit simplifying the operation of inserting a strip of nails or other fasteners into the magazine channel.
without having to return, prior thereto, the reel of the slide carrying the coil spring to its initial position, the prolongation piece of the slide abutting against the rear end of the nail strip is sloped with respect to the direction of the magazine channel such that the slide can be moved over the fasteners just inserted into the magazine channel, whereby this prolongation piece then can be slid over the strip to abut against the end of the newly inserted fasteners.
The form of the magan'ne may be arranged either of a helix or in the form in the form of a spiral extending in a normal plane to the center axis of the tool body. a
With reference to the accompanyingdrawings an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated by way of example and comprises a tool .body 1 provided with a handle or grip 2 and a socket piece 3 forming the connection to a compressed air source. The tool is provided with the customary cylinder 4 in which a piston (not shown) reciprocates. To the piston is secured the upper end of a driver blade 5, the blade 5 being guided in a drive track which is arranged in a nose piece as sembly 5a for driving a nail 6 during a working stroke into a work piece.
The individual nails 6 with their scale-like overlapping heads and parallel shafis are joined to form a nail strip 7 which can be inserted into the channel 8 (FIG. 5) of a magazine assembly 9 arranged helically about the central axis of the tool body 1. The helix angel at which the magazine channel 8 runs around the tool body 1 is parallel to the nail strip 7, pennitting the magazine channel to be loaded free from jamming over its entire length. The outer wall of the magazine assembly 9 is provided over the entire length of the magazine channel 8 with a longitudinal slot 10 for guiding a slide 11. The slide 11 penetrates the slot 10 with two legs 12 (FIG. 4) welded to a strap 13 which covers the slot 10 from the inside, as can be seen in FIG. 4. This strap 13 is of larger width than the slot 10 and provides, therefore, good guidance to the slide 11. A reel 15 for a coil spring 16 is rotatably mounted on an axle 14 in the slide 11. The other end 17 of the coil spring 16 is anchored near the foot or the discharge opening of the member 5a. The coil spring 16 is of approximately the same width as slot 10 of the magazine channel 8 so as to cover it. An inclined extension portion 18 is connected to the slide 11 (see FIG. 3), which piece abuts against the rear end of the nail strip 7 and cooperates with an oblique top plate 19 at the upper open end 20 of the magazine channel 8 when a new nail strip 7 is introduced therein. The coil spring 16 wound around the reel 15 produces a force via the extension portion 18 onto the nail strip 7 for effecting advance thereof such that the first nail is positioned in the drive track of the nose piece assembly 5a, which nail during the working stroke of the driver 5 is separated from the strip 7 and driven into the workpiece.
When all nails of the nail strip 7 have been consumed, the slide 11 has moved from the initial position shown in FIG. 1, which is the position is when a full nail strip is installed, downward over the entire length of the helical magazine channel 8 until it comes to rest against the nose piece assembly 5a. The magazine channel 8, being now empty, can be recharged through its upper open end 20, with a new nail strip. Over this nail strip the slide 11 with its sloping extension portion 18 now can be moved to assume its upper initial position, and the end of the nail strip is supported at the opening by the stop plate 19. in this way the reloading process is greatly simplified.
By way of the tension of the coil spring 16 the nail strip 7 is advanced downwardly in direction of the discharge opening in the nose piece assembly 5a, and effective guidance is provided for the slide 11 in the longitudinal slot of the magazine channel 8.
It is to be understood that the present invention is by no means limited to the particular construction shown in the drawings but may also comprise any modifications within the scope of the appended claims.
