Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a nail package and has particular reference to, a novelnail cartridge designed for insertion into the magazine of a power actuated nail driving tool, and it also has reference to a flexible nail assembly or strip of interconnected nails capable of use in connection with, and as a component part of, such nail cartridge but which also, under certain circumstances, is useable independently thereof.
  • Such nail packages are commonly referred to as sticks and the maximum length of any given stick is, of course, a function of the tolerable length of the magazine which is employed to receive it.
  • a rigid stick containing on the order of seventy-five nails creates a problem in tool handling. Where a lesser number of nails is involved, frequent magazine loading must be resorted to.
  • a continuous magazine feed has been employed in which a large multiplicity of serially arranged oriented nails are taped or wired together so that they may be coiled or otherwise grouped together and then serially fed through a magazine where they become aligned before ultimately arriving at the driving station.
  • This latter method of magazine feeding is suitable for stationary nailing machines and the like but it is impractical for portable tools where weight and space limitations are at a premium and where facilities for storing the grouped or coiled nails are not conveniently available.
  • the elongated nail strip is not sufliciently flexible, difliculty is encountered in pulling the nails through the magazine.
  • the present invention is designed to overcome the above-noted limitations that are attendant upon the construction and use of conventional nail packages or assemblies, particularly those which are employed in connection with, portable power actuated nail-driving tools and, toward this end, the invention contemplates the provision of a novel nail cartridge in the form of a package type unit, capable of being loaded bodily into the magazine of such a tool and which, when loaded therein, is completely enclosed within the magazine.
  • the nail cartridge includes an outer shell or container defining an internal compartmented space within which there is.
  • the driving tool is provided with intermittently operable means.
  • a compartmented shell with substantial equal distribution of nails within the various compartments results in a high-walled enclosure for each group of nails, the enclosure having small transverse dimensions so that the nails of the group cannot tilt appreciably and thus cause snarling or tangling of the nail strip.
  • the side walls of the shell are inclined inwardly and downwardly so that a tapered effect is given the over-all shell, the wider upper regions of the various compartments serving to accommodate the larger diameter nail heads while the narrower lower regions thereof serve to accommodate the smaller diameter nail shanks.
  • a flexible closure flap in the vicinity of the exit slot associated with the leading compartment serves to prevent inadvertent loss of nails from the shell during handling of the cartridge before installation thereof in the tool magazine but allows for flow of the nails from the shell without appreciable effort during operation of the driving tool.
  • An important feature of the present invention apart from the provision of the compartmented cartridge shell, resides in the manner in which the various nails which cooperate to make up the flexible strip are secured together in their serially arranged relationship.
  • the nails are arranged in spaced parallelism and are connected together by a flexible narrow web of adhesive tape which make tangential contact with all of the nail shanks on the same side thereof and which extends in a direction transversely of the axes of the nails.
  • a second web of adhesive tape encompasses a major portion of the circumference of each nail shank and makes face-to-face contact with the first web in between each pair of adjacent nails in the series.
  • each nail shank is, in effect, completely encompassed by an individual ring or band of adhesive tape so that dislodgement of the nails from the composite web is virtually impossible except under the impact of the nail driver associated with the impact tool.
  • Such an arrangement possesses at least one marked advantage over conventional adhesive webconnected nail strips in that when tension is applied to the composite web it is entirely assimilated by the first adhesive Web which only makes tangential contact with the nail shanks and therefore has no tendency to dislodge the nails as is the case in connection with conventional nail strips where the nails are sandwiched between two webs, each of which partially encompasses the nail shanks.
  • comparatively wide nail spacing in the completed strip allows for flexibility of the strip in either bending direction without nail interference so that flexing of the strip in both bending directions is possible.
  • the nail strip is thus universally flexible, initial loading of the strip into the compartmented shell is facilitated due to the fact that the groups of nails may be bunched indiscriminately with no particular through being given as to how the nails may distribute themselves within the compartments.
  • free outflow of the strip endwise from the compartment will take place without binding or jamming of the strip due to the inability thereof to bend in one direction.
  • the flexible nail strip of the present invention is particularly well adapted for use in connection with a compartmented shell in the production of a nail cartridge for magazine loading purposes as set forth above, the strip is not necessarily limited to such use inasmuch as such nail strips may be found useful for direct feeding of nails through an aligning magazine to a nailing station where they are driven into the work by a pneumaticaly operated or other impact driver.
  • the nail strip is readily susceptible to a coiling operation wherein the nails are arranged in involute fashion so as to provide a reservoir of nails for magazine feeding purposes, or the strip may be arranged in serpentine fashion in layers and in a noncompartmented receptacle for endwise withdrawal of the strip for magazine feeding purposes.
  • a nail package or cartridge such as has been briefly outlined above and the provision of a flexible nail strip as a component part of such as cartridge constituting the principal objects of the invention, it is a further object to provide such a cartridge in which the cartridge container or shell may be formed of inexpensive plastic material so that it may be discarded after the nail contents thereof has been exhausted.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a nail cartridge constructed according to the principles of the present invention and showing the leading edge region of the contained nail strip emerging from the exit opening associated with the cartridge shell;
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the structure shownin FIG. 1 with portions of the cartridge shell broken away to reveal more clearly the nature of the invention;
  • FIG. 3 is a rear end view of the nail cartridge
  • FIG. 4 is a front end view of the nail cartridge
  • FIG. 5 is a transverse sectional view taken substantially on the line 5-5 of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 6 is a modified sectional view taken substantially on the line 6-6 of FIG. 2 and illustrating schematically the manner in which the cartridge is installed in the magazine of a nail driving tool for successive indexing of the nail strip and consequent progressive withdrawal thereof from the cartridge;
  • FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the two-part sectional compartmented cartridge shell
  • FIG. 8 is a fragmentary view of a portion of a nail assembly or strip constructed according to the invention.
  • FIG. 9 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 9-9 of FIG. 8;
  • FIG. 10 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 1010 of FIG. 8, and
  • FIG. 11 is a top plan view of the nail strip of FIG. 8, showing the same in a coiled condition for magazine feeding purposes.
  • a nail package or cartridge embodying the present invention has been designated in its entirety at 10 and it involves in its general organization an outer container or shell 12 which is compartmented in a novel manner that will be described presently to provide three interconnected internal chambers or compartments 16, 18 and 20 and within which shell there is disposed an elongated flexible strip 22 of interconnected nails.
  • the nature of the nail strip 22 likewise will be made clear subsequently but for the present it is deemed sufiicient to state that the strip is comprised of a large multiplicity of individual nails 24 (see also FIG.
  • the nail strip is thus of a flexible nature and it is capable of readily being bunched as clearly shown in FIGS. 2 and 6 so that the nails thereof may be divided into three groups with one group being disposed in each of the three compartments 16, 18 and 20 but with adjacent groups being connected together by intervening portions of the nail strip which extend through relatively narrow nail passages 28 which exist between adjacent compartments.
  • the compartment 16 constitutes the leading compartment of the shell 10 and it is provided with a narrow nail discharge opening or passage 30 through which the strip 22 may be forcibly pulled during nail-dispensing operations in a manner and for a purpose that also will be made clear subsequently.
  • each of the two composite webs 26 includes a first elongated web 40 of adhesive tape which makes tangential line contact with the shank portions 42 of the various nails 24 in the series and which, when the longitudinal axes of the nails are disposed in a common plane, lies on one side of such plane.
  • a second elongated web 44 of adhesive tape makes coextensive face-to-face contact with the shank portion 42 of each nail through a major circle sector of the cir cumference thereof and also makes face-to-face contact with the first web 40 at regions in between adjacent nails.
  • Each nail is, in effect, thus encompassed by a ring or band of the adhesive tape material.
  • Various types of adhesive tape are contemplated for use in connection with the attachment of nails thereto and among these are pressure sensitive tape, heat-responsive tape which becomes adhesive upon heating thereof, tape which derives its adhesive qualities by the application thereto of a suitable solvent, and tape to which there has been applied an adhesive substance such as glue. Irrespective of the particular type of adhesive tape employed, the essential features of the invention remain substantially the same.
  • Neither the width of the composite .webs 26 nor the spacing thereof is critical. Where small nails are concerned, a single web may be sufiicient to maintain the nails properly spaced and to hold them in substantial parallelism. Where larger nails are concerned, two or more webs may be employed. Ordinarily there will be one web 26 adjacent the lower ends of the nails spaced an appreciable distance below the nail heads 46.
  • the spacing between adjacent nails is such that wide freedom of swinging movement of each nail about each adjacent nail may take place.
  • the spacing between adjacent nails is such that each nail may be brought into contiguity with a nail once removed therefrom.
  • nail spac ing is such that any three consecutive nails in the series may be grouped in a contiguous triangular structure.
  • a nail strip constructed according to the present invention is possessed of numerous advantages when employed in connection with a power actuated nailing tool.
  • the various nail groups When loaded into a cartridge shell such as the shell 12, the various nail groups will readily distribute themselves within the compartments 16, 18 and 20 and, during operation of the pneumatic or other nail driving tool the nails Will readily pass from one compartment to the next compartment under the pulling influence of the composite webs 26 as previously set forth.
  • the strip When the nail strip is used independently of an enclosing cartridge .shell, the strip may be caused to assume any desired form as for example the form of an involutely .wound coil such as has been indicated at 50in FIG. 11, and from which coil the nails may be successively drawn as the strip is fed endwise through a magazine.
  • this shell in its illus-. trated formthis shell is preferably, but not necessarily, formed of a suitable plastic material as for example light gauge polyethylene sheet material of a transparent, translucent or opaque nature. It is comprised of two similar. complementary sections 52 and 54 (FIG. 7) each of which is of generally, rectangular cup-shape design. Considering the shell 12 in the upright position which it as sumes when loaded in a magazine and in which it is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the open rims of the sections 52 and 54 are provided with laterally turned rim flanges 56 and 58 respectively which are disposed in face-to-face contact and are suitably secured together as for example by heat sealing or.
  • a structure is provided having top and bottom walls 60 and 62, side walls 64 and 66, an angular rear end wall 68, and a front wall 70 which is interrupted by the provision of the aforemens tioned nail discharge passage 30.
  • the longitudinal extent of the shell section 52 is slightly less than that of the section 54 so that the rim flanges 56 and 58 at the forward end of the shell are out of register as clearly shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, thus defining the nail outlet passage 3th.
  • a tab or flap 72 is provided on the rim flange 58 and extends medially across the outlet passage 30 and serves to yieldingly restrain movement of the nails outward of the chamber 16 so that the nails will be prevented from spilling from the shell during handling of the latter prior to introduction thereof into the magazine of a power actuated tool. 7
  • the three compartments 16, 18 and 20 are established by the provision of two pairs of opposed internal ribs 74 (FIGS. 6 and 7) which project inwardly out of the inclined planes ofthe side Walls 64 and 66 and which define therebetween the aforementioned nail passages 28.
  • Each pair of opposed ribs in etfect, establishes a transverse dividing Wall between adjacent compartments with one of the nail passages 28 being centrally disposed in such wall.
  • the upper region of each rib 74 is relieved as at 76 so that the width of the various passages 28 between opposed ribs is increased to accommodate movement of the nail heads 46 through the passages.
  • the width of thepassages 28 in the vincinity of the relieved areas 76 is slightly greater than the-diameter of a nail head while the width of the remaining portions of these passages is slightly greater than the-diameter of a nail shank. It has been found that optimum conditions of nail flow from one compartment to the next compartment will obtain when these wider upper portions of the passages are on the order of one and one-half times the diameter of a nail head and the remaining portions of the passages are one and one-half times the diameter of a nail shank.
  • the lower pointed ends of the nails 24 in the three compartments 16, 18 and 20 are supported upon the bottom wall 62.
  • the grouping or bunching of the nails in these compartments establishes three nail groups which are generally of tapered or frusto-conical configuration and, thus the downwardly and inwardly inclined side Walls 64 and 66 serve to accommodate such a configuration and closely contain the nails within the shell.
  • FIG. 6 wherein the association of ,one of the nail cartridges With a power actuated nail driving tool has been schematically illustrated, the general outline of a nail magazine associated with a power actuated nail driving tool has been illustrated by dotted lines and designated at 80.
  • the magazine is provided with a relatively wide nail reservoir section 82 and with a front guide section 84 through which the oriented nails successively pass in moving to the driving station 5 Where they are operated upon by an impact. driver 86..
  • Any suitable means may be provided for advancing the nails intermittently to the driving station, a toothed impeller wheel 88 being suitable for this purpose.
  • the impeller wheel 88 may be operated intermittently by suitable ratchet and pawl mechanism (not shown).
  • the compartment 16 which originally contained a full quota of nails, is shown as being substantially depleted of nails.
  • the compartment 18 is shown as being practically depleted, while the compartment 20 is shown as containing a full quota of nails.
  • the pulling force of the impeller Wheel 88 is being applied through a short section of the nail strip 22 in the compartment .16 to the nails in the intermediate section 18.
  • the cartridge 10 has been shown and described as being compartmented to provide three individual internal compartments 16, 18 and 20, it is obvious that a greater or a'lesser number of such compartments may be provided if'desired; Under certain circumstances a single internal chamber within the shell may sufiice for the purposes intended. If desired, the sectional character of the shell 12 may be varied, it being further contemplated that the shell may be of'one-piece construction.
  • the shell 12' is not necessarily limited to use in connection with the packaging ofnails and the same may, with or without modification, as required, be employed for the packaging of various types of interconnected unidirectionally oriented fasteners other than nails.
  • nail is to be construed broadly to include such other fasteners. Therefore, only insofar as the invention has particularly been pointed out in the accompanying claims is the same to be limited.
