Definitions

  • Nails intended to be driven into hard material should preferably have a small diameter and a small head. Nails of this type, however, have a tendency to deform making it ditficult to use the nails without special nailing apparatus.
  • Nails having a small diameter may be manufactured of Wire in such a manner that one end portion of the wire is bent at a right angle to form a nailhead and the other end portion is pointed to facilitate penetrating the articles to be nailed.
  • the nail according to the invention is intended to be fed into a guide channel in a nailing machine. It consists of a shaft suitably pointed at one end and of a nailhead bent at a right angle at its other end.
  • the nail has the center position of its shaft bulged out in such a manner that, the nail abuts at at least two points against the one guide channel wall and at at least one point against the opposite guide channel wall.
  • One object of the invention is to provide a nail of the type described which may be subjected to a relatively heavy load without deforming.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the nail according to the invention both in starting position and driven downwards in a guide channel provided for this purpose in a nailing machine;
  • FIG. 2 shows a part of a nailing machine according to the invention and comprising a guide channel for the nail and a striker; and
  • FIG. 3 shows, in perspective and partially broken away, a complete nailing machine according to the invention.
  • the shaft portions next to the nailhead and pointed end are also somewhat bulged in the same direction as the center of the shaft.
  • said center 4 of the shaft is pressed inwards somewhat, the end portions of the shaft necessarily having bulged shape in order to be at least approximately parallel with the nailing direction after said center of the shaft is pressed inwards.
  • the shaft portion next to the pointed end must be approximately parallel with the nailing direction, in view of the fact that a nail driven into an article to a certain extent tends to continue penetrating in the initial direction even if the subsequent shaft portion is waved and curved.
  • FIG. 2 shows a nail according to the invention after the feeding of the same into a nailing machine of the invention.
  • Said nailing machine comprises a guide channel 5 and a nail driver which consists of a slide block 6 provided with a projecting striker 7.
  • the striker 7 is connected with said slide block 6 via a narrow web 8.
  • Said striker 7 and web 8 form an L-shaped projection on said slide block 6 which is disposed in a separate guide channel 9.
  • the striker 7 is shaped in such a manner that it fits into the guide channel 5 for the nail, said channel 5 further being provided with a slot 10 corresponding to said web 8.
  • the nail driver is further provided with external means (see FIG. 3) for moving the driver into its lowermost position thereby to carry out the nailing operation.
  • FIG. 3 shows that the complete nailing machine comprises a magazine 12 from which the nails are fed into the guide channel.
  • Said magazine comprises a longitudinally extending supporting bar 13 intended to support the nails assembled in a row, said supporting bar 13 being shaped in such a manner that it corresponds to the type of nails used.
  • the nails in the magazine are in known manner moved forward automatically to the guide channel through which they will be driven during the nailing operation, the feeding being effected nail by nail at that portion of the guide channel at which the channel is provided with the aforesaid recess 11.
  • the nailing machine further comprises a substantially cylindrical casing 14 encasing the guide channel for the nails, the nail driver displaceable in the guide channel and the guiding means for the nail driver.
  • a manually operated driving member arranged at the upper portion of said casing 14 comprises a cylindrical portion 15 having a head 16 provided at its outer end, said cylindrical portion 15 being slidable in said casing 14 and having at its lower end a projecting pin 17 to the free end of which the nail driver is fastened.
  • a spring 18 encircles both said pin 17 and the nail driver and abuts with its upper end against said cylindrical portion 15 of the driving member and with its lower end against a supporting disc 19 disposed in the interior of said casing 14.
  • FIG. 3 shows the nail driver in a position in which a nail was just severed from the nail supply in the maga! zine and has commenced its passage through the guide channel.
  • the dash-lines indicate the nail driver in its lowermost position in which the nail is driven to its full length into the articles to be nailed together.
  • the nailing machine described may be operated manually or by a pressure medium.
  • the shaft portion next to the pointed end must be about parallel with the nailing direction because otherwise the nail would penetrate the articles to be nailed together in an oblique direction. It is, however, possible to direct the nail during the nailing operation into a desired particular direction by designing the nail in such a manner that the pointed end forms a certain angle with the nailing direction.
  • said shaft having opposite ends, one of said ends being l of point shape, said shaft including a portion at the other of said ends extending substantially perpendicular to a line joining said ends and in only one direction therefrom to constitute a nailhead, said portion having an end disposed a determinabledistance from said line, an intermediate portion of said shaft in the form of a V-shaped portion extending from said line in a common plane with said nailhead and in the same direction as the nailhead, said V-shaped portion having sides equally inclined with respect to said line and joined at an apex which is located a distance from said line whichis greater thanthe distance of the end ofsaid portion at the other end of said shaft from said line, and shaft portions joining said V-shaped portion and said ends, said V-shaped portion merging with said shaft portions which are also inclined with respect to a line joining'the ends of said shaft, the angle of inclination of the shaft portions to said line being such that the shaft portions become parallel to said line when the nail is driven.
  • V-shaped portion is centrally located between said ends.
