The present invention relates to a nail holding tape, and more particularly, to a tape for maintaining a plurality of nails at predetermined intervals so that nails can be driven in sequence using a pneumatic nailing machine or the like.

8 shows a conventional nail holding tape 1 that has been used for nailing with a nailing machine.

In this conventional tape 1, a thin sheet-like material made of synthetic resin has its upper and lower edge portions bent in the same direction to form an upper wall 3 and a lower wall 4 facing each other.

Therefore, the tape has a U-shaped cross section. In the upper wall light lower walls 3 and 4, notches 5 and 6 are aligned with each other at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the tape 1.

They are open to the outer edges of the upper and lower walls 3, 4 to accommodate the body 8 of the nail 7.

In order to hold the nail 7 with the tape 1, the upper part of the body part 8 adjacent to the head part 1 and the lower part of the body part adjacent to the tip part are notched 5 and the lower wall of the upper wall 3. It is pushed through the narrow opening into the notch 6 of (4).

Since the conventional tape 1 bends the longitudinal side edges of the thin sheet of synthetic resin to make a U-shaped short, the upper and lower walls 3 and 4 can spread rather easily. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the nail 7 in the direction of the side wall 2 during transportation or working, the upper wall and the lower wall 3, 4 are unfolded.

When such external force acts on the nail 7, the upper wall 3 is in contact with the head of the nail 7, so that it is prevented from being stretched, so that the trunk portion 8 is maintained on the upper wall 3.

On the contrary, since the lower wall 4 is unfolded freely, when an external force acts on the nail 7, the lower wall 4 is extended downward and exits to the tip of the nail along the trunk portion 8 of the nail.

In this state, the torso is not supported on the side adjacent to the tip, and thus it is impossible to nail with a nailing machine.

One possible way to prevent the nail from detaching from the lower wall 4 is to adhere the body 8 to the lower wall 4 as an adhesive after the nail 7 is inserted, but applying the adhesive is time-consuming. It is uneconomical with a lot of effort

It is an object of the present invention to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages, to prevent the lower wall from slipping even if the nail is subjected to an external force to provide an improved nail holding tape that does not wall from the lower wall.

According to the present invention, it is composed of a side wall and an upper wall and a lower wall extending in the same direction from both longitudinal edges of the side wall. The bottom wall has a foldback wall formed integrally therewith and folded back to face the top surface of the bottom wall, the bottom wall and the foldback wall being at the tip of the nail. A nail retention tape is provided having a notch open toward the foldback edge between the bottom wall and the foldback wall to hold the lower portion of the adjacent torso portion.

The nail held on the tape has an upper portion of the body portion adjacent to the head portion supported by the notch formed in the upper wall, and has a lower portion of the body portion adjacent the tip portion supported by the notch formed in the lower wall and the foldback wall.

Since the foldback wall is located on the lower wall to support the trunk, when the external force acts on the nail in the direction of pressing against the sidewall, causing the lower wall to rotate toward the tip of the trunk, the foldback wall is also pressed towards the sidewall. It acts to lift the side edges of the bottom wall.

That is, the fold back wall functions to prevent the lower wall from rotating.

Therefore, the lower part of the torso adjacent to the tip can be held in place by the lower wall and the foldback wall, thereby preventing the nail from peeling off from the tape.

Other features and objects of the present invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

A first embodiment of the present invention is described in FIGS. 1 to 3.

As shown, the tape 11 is formed into a thin sheet of synthetic resin. It is formed integrally with the upper wall 13 and the lower wall 14 formed by cutting the band-shaped side wall 12, the upper and lower edges of the side wall 12 to face each other in the same direction, and is placed on the lower wall 14. The foldback wall 15 is comprised.

The upper wall 13 has notches aligned in the longitudinal direction at regular intervals and open to the side of the upper wall 13 to open the body portion 8 of the nail 7 adjacent to the head portion 9 thereof. Keep in position.

Furthermore, cuts 17 are formed between adjacent notches 16 of the top wall 13, extending from the side edges of the top wall 13 toward the side wall 12.

The lower wall 14 and the foldback wall 15 are provided with notches 18, 19 arranged to face each other notch 16 of the upper wall 13 along the longitudinal direction at regular intervals, respectively. They are open toward the connection of the lower wall 14 and the foldback star 15 to receive and retain the body 8 near the tip of the nail. Furthermore, a cut 20 is formed between the lower wall 14 and the adjacent notches 18, 19 of the foldback wall 15 and extends from the connection toward the side wall 12.

The notches 16, 18, 19 formed in the upper wall 13, the lower wall 14 and the foldback wall 15 are aligned with each other. Each of them consists of a circular groove and nail guide cuts continuous to the circular groove.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, the foldback wall 15 extends parallel to the bottom wall 14, but may also be inclined upwardly from the side edges of the bottom wall 14 as in FIG. .

Each sheet of notches 16, 18, 19 may be aligned inclined to keep the nail 7 inclined.

In operation, the body 8 of the nail 7 is inserted into the top wall 13 at the top adjacent to the head 9, as in FIGS. 2 and 3, and at the bottom below the tip. It is inserted into the notches 18, 19 of the wall 14 and the foldback wall 15.

The nail 7 can thereby be retained for the tape 11 at regular intervals.

The external force acts in the direction A of FIG. 3 on the nail 97 thus maintained, and the upper and lower walls 13 and 14 will try to unfold.

However, since the upper wall 13 abuts the head portion 9, the spreading is prevented. On the other hand, the foldback wall 15 will be pushed in the direction of B in FIG. 3 by the nail to lift the side edge of the lower wall 14, such that the lifting force is balanced with the force to spread the lower wall 14 to be separated. The lower wall is prevented from falling toward the tip of the body (8).

Therefore, the nail 7 can be securely held by the lower wall 14 and the foldback wall 15 without fear of falling out of the tape 11.

The nail can therefore be nailed continuously.

4-7 show another embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the tape 11 is formed into a thin sheet of synthetic resin, and the upper wall and the lower portion formed by bending the side wall 12 and the upper and lower edges of the side wall 12 to face each other in the same direction. It consists of walls 13 and 14.

Notches 16 are formed in the upper wall 13 at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction to hold the upper portion of the torso 8 adjacent to the head 9.

Notch 16 is opened to the side edge of top wall 13 for this purpose.

Furthermore, cutouts 17 are formed between adjacent notches 16 of the top wall 13 and extend from the side edges of the top wall 13 toward the sidewall 12.

The lower wall 14 is formed with notches 18 at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction to hold the lower portion of the torso 8 adjacent to the tip.

They are positioned to face the notches 16 of the top wall 13.

Notches 18 open to the side edges of bottom wall 14.

The bottom wall has cutouts 20 between adjacent notches 18 extending from the side edges of the bottom wall 14 to the side walls 12.

Each notch 16, 18 is formed in the upper and lower walls 13, 14 and aligned with each other, each of which has a circular groove formed so as to tangentially engage the body 8, and spread out from the circular groove. It consists of a nail guide cutting portion that extends.

The bottom wall 14 of the tape 11 has a top portion that is partially thickened at least towards the inner end of the notch 18.

Another form in which the bottom wall 14 is partially increased in thickness at the top is shown in the figure. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the foldback wall 15 formed integrally with the side edges of the lower wall 14 is placed on the lower wall and fixed by adhesive welding or the like to increase the thickness of the top portion.

The foldback wall 15 is slightly shorter than the bottom wall 14, and the notch 19 is formed in the foldback edge to communicate with the notch 18. By folding back the fold back wall 15 and fixing them together, the notches 18 and notches 19 overlap each other and open toward the side edges of the lower wall 14.

By arranging the fold back wall 15, the thickness of the lower wall 14 is increased by the thickness of the fold back 15 at the top thereof.

Since the foldback wall 15 is slightly shorter than the bottom wall, a thin portion 14a with the thickness of the bottom wall 14 is provided along the side wall 12. The portion with the increased thickness at the top portion extends along the lower wall 14 toward the side of the lower wall at a position adjacent the sidewall and extends along the lower wall 14 toward the sidewall of the lower wall at a position adjacent the sidewall. ).

In the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lower wall 14 is integrally provided on the top surface at the side adjacent to the inner end of the notch 18, and the protrusion 21 is provided on the lower wall. 14 are aligned in the width direction.

This partially increases the thickness of the bottom wall.

Although not shown, other means may be employed to vaporize the thickness of the bottom wall 14. For example, a separate narrow member may be glued to the top of the bottom wall 14 and the wall thickness may be increased only at the portion surrounding the notch. In this case, the structure or form is not limited to that shown. The bottom wall 14 only needs to protrude upward from the inner end of the notch 18.

In the operation of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the trunk portion 8 of the nail 7 is inserted into the notch 16 formed in the upper wall 13 at the upper portion near the head portion 9; It is inserted into the notch 18 formed in the lower wall 14 at the lower portion near the tip portion to keep the nail 7 on the tape 11 at regular intervals.

This pressure is supported by the upper and lower walls 13 and 14 when the nail 7 held by the tape is leaned toward the side wall as shown in the direction A of FIG.

In this state, the upper wall 13 is in contact with the head 9, so that the spreading is prevented. On the other hand, the lower wall 14 is supported by the trunk portion 9, which is pressed by an external force. The increased wall thickness at the top also contributes to the support of the body. Therefore, the support range of the trunk portion 8 rises beyond the upper surface of the lower wall 14.

As described above, an external force acts on the nail 7 supported by the lower wall 14 to draw the nail toward the side wall 12, and the lower wall 14 is disposed between the lower wall 14 and the side wall 12. Attempt to rotate downward about the bending point (a) of (figure 5).

However, by forming a thick wall portion on the bottom wall 14, this support is located above the bending point a between the bottom wall 14 and the side wall 12. Therefore, in the direction B, the lower wall 14 is forced to rotate upward.

As a result, the tendency to rotate the bottom wall 14 downward is balanced with the tendency to rotate it upwards.

Therefore, the lower wall 14 is prevented from slipping toward the tip of the body portion. The bottom wall 14 can thus hold the nail safely without fear of the nail 7 falling off the tape, which will allow for a continuous and reliable nailing.
