Definitions

  • the invention relates to nail belt and more particularly to a nail belt capable of loading nails of different sizes and stably holding them before driving out by a nail gun.
  • nail guns are frequently used by construction workers.
  • nail belts each contain a series of nails have been developed and are commercially available.
  • One type of nail belt can accommodate nails of one size. This, however, has limited applications.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 A conventional nail belt for a nail gun is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • the nail belt comprises a plurality of connected, spaced nail sockets each capable of being loaded with a nail 3 .
  • the nails 3 may be not held properly due to generous clearances between the nail 3 and an inner surface of the nail socket. This can cause the nails 3 driven out of the nail sockets to be unstably secured to an object. To the worse, it can disrupt the nailing operation of a nail gun due to jam. Thus, the need for improvement still exists.
  • a nail belt comprising a main body; a plurality of holes on the main body; and a plurality of nail sockets each depending downward from the hole, each nail socket including a bottom rim, a plurality of longitudinal slits formed on a circumferential surface of the nail socket, and a plurality of projections extending from the rim toward inside of the nail socket.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a conventional nail belt for a nail gun
  • FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the conventional nail belt with nails being loaded in the nail sockets;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a first preferred embodiment of nail belt according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4A is a bottom view of FIG. 3 ;
  • FIG. 4B is a sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 4A ;
  • FIG. 5A is a longitudinal sectional view of a portion of the nail belt shown in FIG. 3 showing a nail being loaded in a nail socket;
  • FIG. 5B is a view similar to FIG. 5A showing the nail being stably loaded and ready to drive out of the nail belt by a nail gun;
  • FIG. 6 a perspective view of a second preferred embodiment of nail belt according to the invention.
  • FIG. 7A is a fragmentary view of FIG. 6 ;
  • FIG. 7B is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of FIG. 7A showing a nail having been driven out of the nail belt after breaking the rim and the slit;
  • FIG. 7C is a perspective view of FIG. 7A but viewed from above the nail belt;
  • FIG. 7D is a top plan view of a portion of the nail belt shown in FIG. 7C ;
  • FIG. 7E is a sectional view taken along line B-BA of FIG. 7D with a nail shown in phantom being stably loaded and ready to drive out of the nail belt by a nail gun.
  • a nail belt in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the invention comprises the following components as discussed in detail below.
  • An elongated main body 2 is formed integrally.
  • a plurality of equally spaced holes 21 are provided on the main body 2 .
  • a plurality of nail sockets 22 each are depending downward from the hole 21 .
  • the nail socket 22 is substantially cylindrical but slightly tapered toward bottom.
  • a rim 24 is formed on a bottom of the nail socket 22 .
  • a plurality of equally spaced, longitudinal slits 23 are formed on a circumferential surface of the nail socket 22 from top of the nail socket 22 to the rim 24 .
  • Two opposite curved projections 25 are extended from the bottom of the rim 24 toward inside of the nail socket 22 .
  • the main body 2 of the nail belt is formed of flexible plastic such as PE (polyethylene).
  • the slits 23 enables the nail socket 22 to expand flexibly when a nail 3 is loaded in the nail socket 22 .
  • the head of the nail 3 is held on the opening of the hole 21 .
  • the nail belt can accommodate nails of different sizes.
  • the projections 25 can exert a clamping force on a bare portion of the nail 3 (see FIG. 5B ).
  • the loaded nail 3 can be held stably and it ensures a reliable fastening of the nail 3 in an object in a subsequent operation by a nail gun.
  • FIGS. 6 to 7E an integral nail belt in accordance with a second preferred embodiment of the invention is shown.
  • the characteristics of the second preferred embodiment are substantially the same as that of the first preferred embodiment except the following:
  • Two ends of the main body 2 of the nail belt are provided with a mating member (e.g., a rectangular flat member having two downward depending cylinders as shown) 26 and a corresponding mating member (e.g., a rectangular flat member having two holes as shown) 27 respectively.
  • a mating member e.g., a rectangular flat member having two downward depending cylinders as shown
  • a corresponding mating member e.g., a rectangular flat member having two holes as shown
  • the four slits 23 are grouped into two sets each including two opposite slits 23 in which one slit 23 of one set has a length greater than that of the other silt 23 of one set (see FIG. 7A ).
  • the slits 23 having a bottom in the rim 24 i.e., the longer slits 23
