Abstract

A gun 1 for use with cable clips 10 having a magazine 4, a driver 6A, and a delivery means there between. A projection 5A adjacent the driver 6A is suitable to extend into a recess Y of a work piece. Ideally the projection includes a cutout 5B to receive wire Z. The diver 6A may be a hammer. A row of clips may be integrally formed and remain frangibly joined until they are severed by the driver 6A. The force exerted on the clip by the driver could be variable. The driver may be electrically driven. The gun could include a metering means to regulate the clip spacing. Preferably the gun can accommodate different sizes of clips 10 and different sizes of wire Z.

Description

TITLn..iClip Gun-fAoft&r'utJ ftniriod The present invention relates to a cable clip gun.
It is know to provide a cable clip gun such as described in my published GB patent No. 2483957. This document described a gun having a housing with a straight bottom edge which can laid against a flat surface such as a skirting board. The straight bottom edge includes a recess to accommodate a cable and an array of clips. The gun has, adjacent one end of the straight edge, a hammer bead to nail ups to the skirting or other flat surface.
It is sometimes desirable however to place cable clips onto surface which are not flat such as mortar recessed between rows of bricks. The gun mentioned in GB patent No. 2483957, having a flat edge for placement against a flat surface is not able to deliver a cable clip into such mortar or other recesses.
The invention seeks to provide a solution to this problem.
According to the prevent invention there is provided a cable clip gun for securing clips with a pin into a surface comprising: a) a gun body, b) storage means to store a plurality of clips each with a pin, c) a driver station, said driver station including a projection to project into a recess in a d) delivery means to deliver a clip from the storage means to the driver station, and e) a driver means to drive the clip at the driver station through the projection and drive the pin into the surface to secure the clip to the surface.
Preferably the projection includes a cutout to receive cable when a clip is being secured over a cable.
Preferably the driver means is a hammer.
Preferably the clips are in the form of an array of clips joined together by frangible bridging means. Preferably the driver means severs a clip being secured to a cable from the array of clips.
Preferably the driver means is adjustable to drive a clip pin at variable forces.
Preferably the driver means is electrically operated.
Preferably the gun further comprises a metering means to secure a clip over the wire at predetermined intervals.
Preferably the gun is adapted to accommodate different sizes of cable and clips.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
Referring to the drawing there is shown a cable clip gun I for securing clips 10 with a pin 11 into a surface such as mortar Y recessed between bricks X. Gun I has a gun body 2 Gun I with a handle 3 to hold the gun adjacent a surface such as bricks x.
An elongate channel 4 provides a storage means to store a plurality of clips 10 with pins 11.
Clips 10 may be formed as an array of clips in a strip joined together by frangible bridging means 12. Elongate channel 4 also acts as a delivery means to deliver a clip from the storage means to a driver station 5.
Driver station 5 includes a projection 5A to project into a recess in a workpiece such as recessed mortar Y between bricks X. A driver 6 is provided to drive the clip pin Ii at the driver station 5 into the surface Y to secure the cable Z to the surface Y. Driver 6 is a hammer with a head 6A biased by a spring 6B towards a pin 11, and head 6A can be pivoted away from pin II by an electrical solenoid 6C. Driver 6 can be operated by a trigger 7. Operation of trigger 7 causes solenoid 6 to pivot head 6A away from pin Ii so stretching spring 6B and then turns solenoid 6C "off" whereby the spring 6B drives hammer head 6A onto the pin 11 so driving the pin into the surface Y. Hammer head 6A includes a cutter 8 which cuts through the frangible bridging means so severing the clip at the driver station 5 from the array of clips in channel 4. Power for solenoid 6C is provided from the mains through wire 9.
Preferably the projection 5A includes a cutout 5B to receive cable when a clip is being secured over a cable.
If desired the driver means may be adjustable, e.g. by altering the tension of spring GB when stretched by the solenoid 6C, to drive a clip pin at variable forces. Thus a different force could be used to drive a pin 11 depending on the nature of the surface it is being driven into (e.g. brick, Furthermore the gun may further comprise a metering means to secure a clip over the wire at predetermined intervals automatically. A control knob (not shown) may be provided to adjust the predetermined interval.
S
Also the gun may be adapted to accommodate different sizes of cable and clips. The clips may be standard clips which are secured to a workpiece over a cable, or the clips may be of type described in 0B1121713.O and 0B1117952.O It may be desirable for any clip to be held at the driver station against a workpiece with pressure as the driver drives the pin into the workpiece, and a suitable device may be provided for this purpose.
The invention may take a form different to that specifically described above.
Further modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
