Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a safety device for a tacker.
  • the conventional power tacker is disclosed in Figs. 5 to 8 , and generally comprises body 70 with an operation path 71 defined therein.
  • a safety device 80 includes a rod 81 which is movably received in the operation path 71 and has a first end extending beyond an outlet 72 of the body 70 of the tacker. The first end is used to contact against an object to be stapled.
  • a recovery spring 82 is connected to mediate portion of the rod 81 and positioned in a space 73 in the body 70 so as to provide a resilient recovery force to allow the rod to move back to its initial position.
  • a plastic member 83 is connected to a second end of the rod 81 and has an extension 84 which is an inclined part.
  • the inclined extension 84 is used to touch or activate a contact plate 91 of a safety switch 90.
  • the rod 81 is pushed backward and the extension 84 pushes the contact plate 91 of the safety switch 90 to send a signal to let one staple to be stapled to the object.
  • the extension 84 is usually made by plastic which may become fragile or deformed after a period of time of use, and this may not precisely activate the safety switch 90.
  • the conventional rod 81 does not have a proper index portion at the first end thereof so that the user may not notice that the stapling position is not at the desired position. This happens frequently when stapling a cable, and the sheath of the cable is broken.
  • the rod 81 After each stapling action, the rod 81 returns quickly and the extension 84 may hit the contact plate 91 of the safety switch 90 and even damage the safety switch 90.
  • the present invention intends to provide a safety device for a tacker, and includes an ignition spring connected to the tip on the rod so as to precisely contact the safety switch and to eliminate the shortcomings mentioned above.
  • the present invention relates to a safety device for a tacker, and comprises a body having an outlet at the front end thereof, and an operation path is defined in the body and communicates with the outlet so as to receive a rod therein.
  • the rod has a contact portion formed at the first end thereof, and a connection portion is formed at the mediate portion of the rod.
  • a recovery spring is mounted to the connection portion to provide a recovery force to the rod.
  • a seat is formed at the second end of the rod and has a (preferably plastic) tip extending therefrom.
  • a safety slide is a U-shaped plate and has two wings.
  • the safety slide is slidably mounted to the front end of the body and located corresponding to the outlet of the body.
  • the safety slide has a bottom edge formed at the distal end thereof.
  • An index portion is formed at the safety slide.
  • a stop extends from the bottom of the safety slide and is located corresponding to the contact portion of the rod. When the safety slide is slid, the stop contacts the contact portion and drives the rod to be retracted into the body.
  • An ignition spring is mounted to the plastic tip of the seat.
  • a safety switch is located in the body and has a contact plate extending therefrom. The contact plate is pushed by the ignition spring to send a stapling signal when the rod is retracted back into the body.
  • the index portion includes a side index portion on each of the two wings of the safety slide.
  • the index portion includes a front index portion on the top of the safety slide.
  • a notch is defined in the bottom edge of the safety slide.
  • the plastic tip is located at the distal end of the seat and movable with the rod in the axial direction of the rod.
  • the contact plate of the safety switch is pushed by the ignition spring.
  • the present invention provides the recovery spring and the ignition spring, the two springs absorb impact so that the rod does not hit the safety switch hardly.
  • the contact plate of the safety switch is pushed by the ignition spring so that even if the object to be stapled is thin, the contact plate can be activated by the ignition spring.
  • the user can check the position that the staples will be stapled on the object by the side and front index portions.
  • the notch of the safety slide ensures that the cable to be stapled is secured.
  • the safety device of the present invention comprises a body 10 having an outlet 11 defined through the front end thereof, and an operation path 12 is defied in the body 10 and communicates with the outlet 11.
  • a rod 20 is movably located in the operation path 12 and has a contact portion 21 formed at the first end thereof.
  • a seat 22 is formed at the second end of the rod 20 and has a plastic tip 23 extending therefrom.
  • a recessed area is defined in one side of the mediate portion of the rod 20 and a connection portion 24 is formed at the recessed area.
  • the connection portion 24 extends along the axial direction of the rod 20.
  • a recovery spring 25 is mounted to the connection portion 24 to provide a recovery force to the rod 20.
  • a safety slide 30 is a U-shaped plate 31 and has two wings 32 extending from two sides thereof.
  • the safety slide 30 is slidably mounted to the front end of the body 10 and located corresponding to the outlet 11 of the body 10.
  • the safety slide 30 has a bottom edge 33 formed at the distal end thereof so as to contact against an object to be stapled.
  • a notch 36 is defined in the bottom edge 33 of the safety slide 30 so as to secure a cable "L" as shown in Fig. 4 to be stapled. The shape and size of the notch 36 can be varied according to the cable "L" to be secured.
  • the index portion 34 includes a side index portion 341 on each of the two wings 32 of the safety slide 30, and a front index portion 342 on the top of the safety slide 30.
  • a stop 35 extends from the bottom of the safety slide 30 and is located corresponding to the contact portion 21 of the rod 20.
  • An ignition spring 40 is mounted to the plastic tip 23 of the seat 22. The plastic tip 23 is located at the distal end of the seat 22 and movable with the rod 20 in the axial direction of the rod 20.
  • a safety switch 50 is located in the body 10 and has a contact plate 51 extending therefrom. The contact plate 51 is pushed by the ignition spring 40 to send a stapling signal to the related electrical means of the tacker when the rod 20 is retracted back into the body 10. It is noted that the contact plate 51 of the safety switch 50 is pushed by the ignition spring 40 which is moved along the axial direction of the rod 20.
  • the safety slide 30 when the tacker is used to staple an object, the safety slide 30 is pushed against the object and slid upward, the stop 35 contacts the contact portion 21 and drives the rod 20 to be retracted into the body 10.
  • the rod 20 moves backward and the ignition spring 40 is movable with the rod 20 and activates the contact plate 51 of the safety switch 50 so that a stapling signal is sent and the staple is ejected.
  • the ignition spring 40 is compressible so that when it touches the contact plate 51 of the safety switch 50, the compression of the ignition spring 40 absorbs a certain level of impact applied to the safety switch 50. This feature also prevent the plastic tip 23 from being damaged.
  • the ignition spring 40 pushes the contact plate 51 along the axial direction of the rod 20 so that even if the object is thin, the safety switch 50 is activated properly.
  • the present invention provides the recovery spring 25 and the ignition spring 40, the two springs 25, 40 absorb impact so that the rod 20 does not hit the safety switch 50 hardly.
  • the user can check the position that the staples will be stapled on the object by the side and front index portions 341, 342 to prevent incorrectly stapling.
  • the notch 36 of the safety slide 30 ensures that the cable "L" to be stapled is secured.
