  • the removable buffer supply magazine contains a strip of buffer receiving rings.
  • the shear block has a buffer reception passage which communicates with the pads and extends forward through a pad guide passage of the tampon guide, intended to guide the tampon until its penetration in the support.
  • the head pad of the support strip When firing, the head pad of the support strip is introduced into the shear block and, after pressing the device against a support, the piston is propelled forward and strikes the buffer received in the block of shear. Under the impact of the strike, the band of reception rings of pad is sheared, the strip head pad, detached, is projected towards the front, being guided by the buffer guide, and enters the support.
  • the shear block of known devices is formed in two parts, upper and lower, each providing a section groove semi-circular cross-section.
  • the upper part is integral with the buffer guide and a box containing the cylinder and the combustion chamber
  • the lower part is integral with the buffer supply magazine.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
  • the invention relates to a tampon fixing device by drive of the buffer by a propulsion piston, according to the claim 1.
  • the shear block With the fixing device of the invention, after removal from the magazine pads of the device, the shear block remains in one piece.
  • the device can therefore be used with or without the buffer magazine. grace to this, we remove the security system prohibiting fire after withdrawal from the stamp store.
  • the device without the magazine pads, can be used to fix a pad in a deep profile, which would be impossible with the buffer store mounted on the device due to the size of the store.
  • the shear block and the feed magazine buffers are arranged to cooperate by fitting a skirt, providing a buffer supply passage in a housing for reception of the skirt.
  • the skirt and its receiving housing are shaped to that the nesting of one in the other is done with play.
  • the buffer magazine can be very easily mounted on the device.
  • the skirt is integral with the shear block.
  • the latching means include a shoulder, supported by a pin mounted on means of reminder, intended to cooperate with a groove for receiving the shoulder, extended by at least one pushing finger and blocking of the shoulder.
  • the front and “the rear” respectively denote the direction to which a buffer is propelled during a shot and the direction opposite.
  • the tampon fixing device comprises a case 1, integral with a handle 5 and a housing 6 for receiving a gas cartridge tablet, a removable magazine 2 for supplying buffers, intended for contain a strip of buffer receiving rings, a buffer guide 3, a block 4 for shearing the strip of buffer receiving rings and an anti-fire security system.

  • the anti-fire safety system prohibits any shooting without prior support of the device against a support.
  • the buffer guide 3 and the shear block 4 extend in front of the housing 1, along a longitudinal axis 7.
  • the handle 5 extends substantially perpendicular to the axis 7, here parallel to the receiving housing 6 of the compressed gas cartridge and on the back of it.
  • the handle 5 and the housing 6 extend below the housing 1, in an axial plane (that is to say containing the center axis 7) of the apparatus, which will be called "plane P" thereafter.
  • the shear block 4 has two parts, lower 9 and upper 10, each providing a groove of semi-circular cross section and secured to each other using screws 8, 8 '. It should be emphasized here that because that the two parts, lower 9 and upper 10, are integral with one of the other, the shear block 4 is functionally in one piece. We would have just as well could have considered a shear block made up of a single part.
  • the two grooves in the lower 9 and upper 10 parts of the block shear 4 form a buffer receiving passage extending forward through a tampon guide passage through the tampon guide 3 and intended during a shot to guide the tampon to its penetration in a receiving material.
  • the upper part 10 of the shear block 4 is integral, at its front end, of a buffer guide holder 13 in which is mounted sliding the buffer guide 3.
  • the lower part 9 of the shearing block 4 is integral with a skirt external projection 11 providing a through passage 12 for supplying buffer in the shear block 4, which communicates with the passage of receive buffer from it.
  • the rear end part of the shear block 4 is received and screwed in a receiving cradle 14, integral with the front part of the housing 1.
  • the buffer store 2 contains a housing for receiving a strip of buffer receiving rings, with an upper opening 15, and a system for pushing the buffer strip towards the upper opening 15.

  • the flange 25 includes a housing 27 for receiving a portion end 21 a of the axis 21, projecting towards the inside of the male part 20.
  • a spring 28 is in abutment, at one of its ends, against the bottom of the housing 27 is, at its other end, against the bottom of an axial cavity 29 formed in the end portion 21a.
  • Axis 21 is thus mounted on a spring and movable in axial translation.
  • the flange 24 includes a housing 30 for receiving the shoulder 26b, projecting towards the inside of the male part 20.
  • the axis 21 is thus laterally protruding from the flange 24 outward.
  • the part end 21b is threaded and received in a threaded hole 33 formed in a wheel 32 for driving the axis 21, and comprises two flats intended to cooperate with two conjugate dishes of the opening 31, in order to block in rotation the axis 21.
  • a stop 34, intended to block in axial translation the wheel 32, is fixed on the external lateral surface of the flange 24 and has a through opening for passage of the axis 21.
  • the translation of the axis 21 is limited, on the one hand, by abutment of the shoulder 26a against the edge of the housing 27 and, on the other hand, by abutment the shoulder 26b against the edge of the opening 31, located at the bottom of the housing 30.
  • the housings 27 and 30 are separated from each other by a space 36 of reception of the female latching part 40, as will be explained further.
  • the two fixing feet 22a, 22b form a free surface 31, extending in the vicinity and behind the axis 21 in a plane overall perpendicular to the axis 7.
  • the two flanges 24, 25 provide between them a lower passage 35 for introducing the female snap-on part 40 extending upward through a passage 35 '(FIG. 6) for receiving a positioning plate 46 of the female latching part 40, formed between the surface 31 and the walls of the housings 27 and 30.
  • the shoulder 26a In the rest position ( Figures 3 and 4), the shoulder 26a is arranged in the reception space 36, at the right of the introduction passage 35.
  • the shoulder 26b extends to the bottom of its receiving housing 30 and the wheel 32, unscrewed, is moved away from the stop 34.
  • the female latching part 40 has a groove 41 for receiving the shoulder 26a, extending in the plane P ', extended upwards by two fingers, rear 42 and front 43, symmetrical, pushing and blocking the shoulder 26a, as will be explained later.
  • the front finger 43 is adjacent to the surface 17 and the rear finger 42 is moved away from it, towards the rear.
  • the fingers 42, 43 tighten towards each other from their ends respective connection with the groove 41 towards their free ends, separated from each other by a distance slightly greater than the diameter of the axis 21.
  • the groove 41 has an internal wall for receiving the shoulder 26a, of semi-circular shape in longitudinal section in the plane P ', oriented towards the upper part of the store 2.
  • the internal walls of the fingers 42, 43 extend the internal wall of the groove 41, the internal wall overall having a circular shape in longitudinal section (parallel to the plane P '), of diameter substantially greater than that of the shoulder 26a, with an opening for the passage of the axis 21.
  • the fingers 42, 43 are thus intended to block the shoulder 26a in its groove reception 41.
  • Each finger 42 (43) comprises a right external lateral face 44a, parallel to the plane P ', and another external lateral face 44b inclined by relative to the plane P ', the width of the finger 42 (43) narrowing from its end of connection with the groove 41 towards its free end.
  • the faces inclined 44b thus shaped into corners, act as surfaces of thrust intended to push the shoulder 26a laterally when the introduction of the male latching part 20 into the female part latching 40, as will be explained later.
  • the section of the lateral opening 47 of the female latching part 40 in the plane of the right lateral face 44a is narrowed, less than the section transverse of the shoulder 26a but slightly greater than the section transverse of axis 21.
  • the rear finger 42 supports the positioning plate 46 extending perpendicular to the plane P 'and parallel to the longitudinal axis 19.
  • a fixing arm 45 is integral with the female latching part 40, and extends in the longitudinal plane P ', downwards, opposite the fingers 42, 43.
