Abstract
The nail heads of a nail row respectively have two symmetrical oblique insert members respectively formed under the front and the rear side, and each oblique insert member has a horizontal plane and an inclined plane connected to each other. Between the horizontal plane and the flat striking portion of the nail head forms a preset thickness strong enough to resist striking. The inclined plane has its outer side edge connected with one side edge of the nail head to form a sharp nailing portion able to be smoothly nailed in a workpiece. The horizontal plane and the inclined plane are combined with the workpiece by mutual engagement, able to combine work pieces together with great stability and firmness.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to a nail row, particularly to one whose nail heads are strong enough to endure striking and have great combination force after nailed in workpieces.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- A
conventional nail row 10, as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , is composed of a plurality of T-shaped nails 11 connected together alongside. Eachnail 11 is formed integral with anail head 111 and anail shank 112, and thenail head 111 has its topside formed with a striking portion 113 a little wider than the thickness of thenail shank 112 for the striking device (P) of a nailing gun to strike thereon and nail two workpieces together. Further, eachnail shank 112 has the surface of its front and rear side respectively provided with a plurality of horizontalrecessed lines 114 parallel to the lower plane of thenail head 111. Furthermore, when thenails 11 of theconventional nail row 10 are connected together alongside, the topsides of thenails 11 are respectively positioned at different heights so as to form anoblique nail row 10 with preset inclination, applicable to a nailing gun with an oblique nail cartridge. - A horizontal or an
oblique nail row 10 has thenail shanks 112 of itsnails 11 respectively nailed in workpieces to combine them together, and the horizontalrecessed lines 114 of thenail shank 112 are able to increase frictional resistance between thenail shanks 112 and the workpieces so as to enhance their combination strength. However, the horizontalrecessed lines 114 of thenail shank 112 are too short to produce enough frictional resistance, unable to obtain an excellent effect of combination. In addition, thenail head 111 of thenail 11 only serves as a striking portion and the plane under thenail head 111 can do nothing but rest on theworkpiece 20, both of them unable to help strengthen combination of theworkpiece 20. - The objective of the invention is to offer the nail heads of a nail row, respectively formed with two symmetrical oblique insert members respectively composed of a horizontal plane and an inclined plane connected with each other so as to increase the striking enduring strength of the nail head and enable the nail to be nailed in a workpiece smoothly with the help of a sharp nailing portion of the nail head, able to nail and combine workpieces together comparatively firmly.
- This invention will be better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a conventional oblique nail row: -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the conventional oblique nail row: -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the nail of the conventional nail row nailed in workpieces: -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a nail row in the present invention: -
FIG. 5 is a front view of the nail row in the present invention: -
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the nail of the nail row nailed in workpieces in the present invention: and -
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of two nails of the nail row reversely nailed in workpieces in the present invention. - A preferred embodiment of a
nail row 30 in the present invention, as shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 , is composed of plurality of T-shaped nails 40 connected together alongside. Eachnail 40 is formed with anail head 41 and anail shank 42, and the distance between the front and the rear side of thenail head 41 is larger than the thickness of thenail shank 42. Thenail head 41 has its topside formed with a flatstriking surface 411, which has its left and right side respectively extending straight downward to the lowermost end of thenail shank 42 and forming a connectingportion 43 for connecting thenails 40 together to make up thenail row 30 by adhesives. When all thenails 40 of thenail row 30 are connected together alongside, their topsides are respectively positioned at different heights to form anoblique nail row 30 with a preset inclination. - The
nail head 41 has two symmetricaloblique insert members 412 respectively formed under the protruding portion of its front and rear side. Eachoblique insert member 412 is composed of ahorizontal plane 4121 and aninclined plane 4122 connected with each other in a ratio of 2:1 in length. Thehorizontal plane 4121 is parallel to the flatstriking portion 411 of thenail head 41, while theinclined plane 4122 forms an acute angle to the vertical side of thenail head 41 to make up asharp nailing portion 413. In addition, thenail shank 42 has the surface of its front and rear side respectively provided with a plurality of obliquerecessed lines 421 spaced apart equidistantly from an upper side to a lower side and parallel to theinclined plane 4122 of theoblique insert member 412 of thenail head 41. - In using, as shown in
FIGS. 5 and 6 , theoblique nail row 30 is fitted in the oblique nail cartridge of a nailing gun and then thenails 40 of thenail row 30 are orderly and respectively struck out and nailed inworkpieces 50 by a nail striking device (P) of the nailing gun. Being a plane, thenail striking surface 411 of thenail head 41 can contact with the nail striking device P at a right angle to enable thenail 40 to be impartially nailed into theworkpieces 50. In addition, the comparatively longhorizontal plane 4121 of theoblique insert member 412 and thenail striking surface 411 of thenail head 41 are formed therebetween with a preset thickness which is strong enough to resist the striking force of the nail striking device (P), preventing thenail head 41 from deformed excessively or broken and enabling thenail 40 to be nailed into theworkpieces 50 smoothly. Additionally, when thenail head 41 is struck by the nail striking device (P), thesharp nailing portion 413 of theoblique insert member 412 of thenail head 41 can be deeply stuck in theworkpiece 50, and the entireoblique insert member 412 and even thewhole nail head 41 can also be firmly stuck into theworkpiece 50. Thus, thehorizontal plane 4121 and theinclined plane 4122 of theoblique insert member 412 are combined with theworkpiece 50 by mutual engagement of different levels, able to let thenail 40 and theworkpiece 50 combined together with great stability and firmness. - Further, the oblique
recessed marks 421 of thenail shank 42 of this invention are respectively longer than the horizontalrecessed lines 114 of theconventional nail shank 112, as shown inFIG. 6 . Therefore, after thenail 40 is nailed into theworkpiece 50, the frictional resistance between them will be enhanced to increase their combination strength. - Furthermore, as shown in
FIG. 7 , incase work pieces 50 need to be nailed together withplural nails 40 of this invention, every twonails 40 can be positioned reversely in the direction and nailed in theworkpieces 50, that is, thesharp nailing portions 413 of theoblique insert members 412 of every twonails 40 are positioned reversely and symmetrically to be orderly nailed in theworkpieces 50, thus able to enhance the combination strength of theworkpieces 50. - As can be understood from the above description, this invention has the following advantages.
-
- 1. The
nail head 41 of thenail 40 has its front and rear side respectively formed with anoblique insert member 412 and asharp nailing portion 413, and thenail shank 42 of thenail 40 has the surface of its front and rear respectively provided with a plurality of obliquerecessed lines 421, increasing the combination strength of thenail 40 with theworkpieces 50. - 2. The
oblique nail row 30 of this invention is applicable to a nailing gun with an oblique nail cartridge, enabling the nailing gun to carry out nailing work at any position of workpieces and facilitating operation of the nailing gun.
- 1. The
- While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
