NAIL STRIPPER.
Application filed March 17, 1924. Serial No. 699,725.
My invention relates to a new and improved form: of nail stripper in which the nails auton'latically align themselves so that they may be withdrawn with their heads up.
It is an object of my invention to provide an improved nail stripper in which it will be impossible for the nails to become clogged or retarded, thereby preventing them from being easily and quickly withdrawn from said nail stripper at the point of delivery.
It is a further object of my invention to provide a nail chute composed of triangular sections adapted to be spaced apart to form troughs, the inclined sides of said sections leading'to the slots formed by spacing said sections apart, rods being secured to said sections, which rods are adapted to provide nail tracks for positioning the nails with their heads upward. I
It is a further object of my invention to provide a series of nail guides between which the nail tracks are adapted to project, whereby the nails are prevented from becoaning clogged in their progress to the point of delivery, and thus obviate any retardation thereof in their forward move ment.
A further objectof my invention is to provide said nail guides with nail deflecting portions, whereby the delivery of the nails from said nail tracks to said nail guides is facilitated.
It is also an object of my invention to provide a means for adjusting the width, both of said nail tracks, and said nail guides, whereby both may accommodate nails of dilferent sizes.
It is also an object of my invention to provide a strap with adjusting means extending across the nail chute, whereby the spaces-between said sections may be adjusted, said strap being also provided with a means extending through at least one of said sections, whereby said sections may be secured in position.
It is also an object of my invention to provide a means for adjusting the height of said nail chute and said hopper, and also a means for adjusting the height of said nail guides and said nail tracks.
It is also an object of my inventionto provide a means whereby it is possible to collapse my nail stripper, and house the same in a box.
It is also an object of my invention to provide a nail'stripper made up of a minimum number of parts, which nail stripper is inexpensive and easy to manufacture, and which is thoroughly practical and efficient in operation.
Further objects and advantages of my device will become apparent as the description there-of proceeds.
Reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts in .all the figures, and in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my device showing the same as ready for operation,
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of Fig. 1, looking from the right,
Fig. 3 is an end elevation of Fig. 1, looking' from the left, the cover being shown broken away to disclose the construction,
Fig. 1 is a view in side elevation, similar to Fig. 1, but showing the opposite side thereof,
Fig. 5 is an enlarged, diagrammatic .view' of one end of the nail chute, showing the triangular sections, and the strap for adjusting the spaces between said sections, and
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary perspective view of the cross-bars for adjusting the width ofthe nail guides.
In detail, the box' 2 is provided with a cover 1 hinged thereto by means of the hinges 2'5. Secured to the cover 1 by means of the wing nut andbolt 32, is a hopper 3, preferably shown inclined, as disclosed in Figs. 1 and 4. A nail chute 4, pivotally connected with the hopper 3 by means of flanges 28, is adapted to be held in position by a standard 6, adjustably secured to the box 2, by means of the wing nut and bolt 23. This standard is offset as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 to permit the nail stripper to becollapsed and housed in the box 2.
triangle. Said sections a e spaced apart as shown, and rods 5 are mounted on said sections to provide nail tracks, whereby the nails may be positioned in said chute with their heads upward. One end of said nail chute is closed by meansof the plate 35.
To adjust the width of the tracks 5 a strap is provided, preferably, though not necessarily, made up of sections 14 and 15, secured together in any desirable manner, such, for example, as by soldering. Said sections are adjusted by means of the wing nuts 22, threaded on to the sections 15, as shown in Fig. 5. To hold the sections 16, 17, and 18 in position, a bolt 19, extending through thesection 17, is provided, and the wingnut 21, and the nut or washer 20, -provide a means for adjustably securing said sections in position, as wiil be clear.
The nail tracks 5project beyond the nail chute, and are adapted to extend between each pair of companion nail guides 12. The ends 11 of said nail guides are bent outwardly, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3. These ends 11 form nail deflecting portions for preventing the clogging of the nails in their downward movement to the point of delivery. Said nail deflecting portions are adapted to be secured to the nail chute, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and i.
To provide a means for adjusting the width of the nail guides 12, cross-bars 10 and 27 are provided, shown more clearly in Figs. 3 and 6, a wing nut and bolt 26 being used to hold them firmly in position. One end of each pair of the nail guides 1s secured to the bar 27, and is adapted to move in a slot 31, shown in Fig. 6; the other end of each pair is secured tothe cross-bar 10, the belt of the wing nut 26 moving in a siot, as will be obvious.
in this instance as the arm 7, being offset,
to aiiiord ameans whereby the stripper may be collapsed so that it may be housed in the box 2. The bar 27 is pivoted to the arms 7 and b by means of the pivots 30.
The box 2 isprovided with a suitable handie 9 and locking meansL for holding the cover- 1 in position when thenail stripper is collapsed. v
In operation, the nails N are placed in the hopper 3 and if desired sprinkled with powdered soap-stone, and tall by gravity. The percussion caused by the hammering of the workmen will cause the nails to slide from the hopper 3 into the chute 1. In rolling upon the inclined walls of the sections of the chute, the nails will fall into the up, by handfuls, and are thus in position ready to be driven.
It 18, 0t course, understood that my device in practice may be modified through a wide range, and I do not therefore propose to be limited to the exact construction shown and described.
