Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for driving nails into materials to be connected, the nails being connected to a band by wires or the like and being able to be formed spirally into a nail roll in a plane or a flat cone.
  • Such processes are carried out by devices which are generally referred to as nailers, drum nailers, strip nailers or pin nailers and which have the task of roofing felt, wood foils, cardboard, paper, composite panels, etc. connect with each other.
  • the well-known nailers with automatic feed of the nails apply the driving energy by compressed air or electrically (e.g. electromagnet).
  • the nail feed also takes place with the energy used for driving in.
  • a major disadvantage of these devices is the absolutely necessary connection of the nailer to an energy store or an energy supply unit.
  • the classic method with the hand-held nail is used, which is first fixed - "tacked” - with a careful stroke and then with one or more strokes, depending on the nature of the surface and the Length and strength of the nail is driven.
  • an essentially conventional hammer has a nail magazine for loose nails, the pins of which lie close to one another in a guide slot, wherein they are displaced by head thickness relative to one another in the direction of the pin, and furthermore the heads have a recess which extends as far as the The edge of the pin is sufficient to allow the pins to lie close together.
  • the nail package is pushed forward by a pin size with a handle and then the foremost nail is pressed down by a lever in order to be attached to the ground during the subsequent stroke.
  • the nail is driven in by the user of the hammer with the hammer head in the usual way.
  • the handle is actuated again and the next nail is attached with the following stroke, whereupon the game starts again.
  • This device is essentially unsuitable for practical operation for a number of reasons: the use of the required special nails entails high costs, the linear magazine makes it difficult to see the nail location and the handle which is to be operated separately is a hindrance to the driving strokes. In addition, the nail is fed through the split hammer head, which makes it more expensive to manufacture and also causes problems with the driving strokes.
  • FR-PS 1 596 749 discloses a device using nails which are actually not nails but one-legged staples. These nails have a T-shaped profile in one direction and a narrow rectangular profile in the direction perpendicular to the first direction and are glued together with their T-shaped outline, which enables a feed similar to that in staple machines.
  • the nail is attached with a first blow, the adhesive bond to the next nail breaking, whereupon the hammer is rotated by the user by 180 ° along its stem axis and the nail is driven in with the other end of the head with one or more strokes .
  • the user turns the hammer over again and staples the next nail.
  • This device also requires the use of special nails, which moreover have a shape which makes driving in more difficult and, owing to the shape of the nail head, does not permit the use of this device for a whole range of fields of application.
  • special nails which moreover have a shape which makes driving in more difficult and, owing to the shape of the nail head, does not permit the use of this device for a whole range of fields of application.
  • it is not possible to nail roofing felt with these nails because on the one hand the head has too little space to enable stable fastening of the roofing felt and on the other hand the penetration of water along the side of the head, which does not project in all directions around the nail stick Pin is not prevented.
  • the holding device runs flat with the underside of the hammer head, the next nail reaches its area and when the hammer is lifted off, the holding device and the sliding device are each pressed down again by their spring, whereupon the circuit is closed.
  • the device according to US Pat. No. 1,024,390 is susceptible to failure.
  • the nail is guided around the front edge of the head in two directions orthogonal to one another, the risk of getting caught being extremely great.
  • the path of the hammer head between the first touch of a part connected to it and the end of the driving-in process is considerably longer than the nail. With a given impact energy, this means a significant reduction in the available driving force. A shortening of this way is not possible because the nail is above the face of the hammer Head is fed through the head, and therefore enough meat must remain below the feed channel to the front to ensure the mechanical stability of the hammer.
  • the driving force is not exerted by a real blow, since the nail head lies snugly against the hammer head during the entire stroke movement. The nail is actually just pushed in.
  • the object of the invention is to create a method and a device for driving in nails, in which the driving energy is applied manually and the nails are advanced without the user doing anything.
  • Common nails i.e. Nails with a head that protrudes in all directions over the nail pin can be used and it should be possible for magazines to store the nails without having to tension springs or other energy stores.
  • the size, mass and shape of the device are intended to be ergonomically correct and enable the nails to be driven in with just one stroke, without having to "tack" beforehand.
  • the method is to use a real "hammer blow", that is to say that a striking body strikes the essentially stationary nail and the impact energy reaches the tip as a compression wave and drives the nail there.
  • the method according to the invention consists in feeding the nail to be driven into the tool head in such a way that it protrudes slightly over the lower end of the tool head, so that when hitting the nail tip is the first part to touch the material to be connected, the driving energy being applied by an impact body which thereby overcomes the effect of a weak spring that pulls it away from the nail head so that it is at a distance from the nail head in the rest position.
  • the corresponding device can comprise a handle, an upper part with a striking body and a nail magazine with a feed device.
  • the impact body can be connected to the handle and upper part of the device so that their kinetic energy is used as driving energy.
  • the advancing movement of the next nail is carried out during the return movement of the striking body by the spring tensioned during the impact.
  • the implementation or linking of this body return movement with the feed movement can be done in different ways e.g. by means of scenes and claws or by means of additional springs.
  • the inventive measure to position the nail to be driven in the device on the one hand so that it protrudes with its pointed end from the surface of the device facing the surface and thereby already expose the nail head to the action of the driving body it is possible to use nails similarly as before, staples to be set in one fell swoop, although this was previously considered impossible due to the geometry of the nails.
  • a completely unexpected peculiarity of the method according to the invention lies in the fact that the above nail makes it possible to keep the path of the striking body between the impact on the nail head and the end of the driving-in movement shorter than the nail is long.
  • the difference is due to the partial penetration of the nail tip due to the kinetic energy of the nail and the connection with the other nails.
  • the difference is small, but a comparison with the prior art shows the size of the improvement.
  • the tool head striking the substrate does not move relative to the substrate, which means that the forces that occur are powerless and that there is no damage to the substrate.
  • the invention further relates to a device for performing the method according to the invention.
  • the device also has a preferably one-piece magazine, nail guide and driver guide unit, which is articulated by means of a bolt on the hammer handle.
  • the bolt runs perpendicular to the axis of the handle and at least approximately perpendicular to the axis of the nail that is driven in next.
  • the hammer handle and the hammer head on the one hand and the magazine, nail guide and driver guide unit on the other hand are preferably pushed apart by a spring when the nail device is at rest until it stops.
  • a driver is articulated in the hammer head, for example by a bolt with play or a corresponding jaw-shaped guide.
  • the driver in the driver guide unit or to store it displaceably and to press it with a spring against an abutment in the hammer head.
  • the abutment can also only be the underside of the hammer head.
  • the spring can also take on the task of pushing apart the hammer head and the driver guide unit.
  • the driver protrudes into a channel of the driver guide unit and is intended to drive the nail to be driven into the ground by the impact energy of the hammer head and handle that it transmits. It has a crescent-shaped recess on the side on which the nails are fed in, in order to grasp and drive in only the foremost and also the next nail which already projects into the driver channel with part of its head.
  • a slide or spring lever is mounted on the magazine, nail guide and driver guide unit, which pushes the next nail either on the head or on the shaft via a resilient feed claw when a nail has been driven in.
  • a side opening gate for inserting the nail band there is a retaining claw which prevents the nail band from sliding back when the feed claw moves backward.
