Definitions

  • United States Patent O ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Nail for use in magazine fed nailing machine, having a notched head, and a collar immediately below the head with a notch coterminous with the notch in the head, whereby a plurality of nails can be arranged in stepped relationship with the collar of one nail resting on the head of the adjacent nail, and with the shank of said one nail received in the notches of said adjacent nail.
  • This invention relates almost exclusively to the production of nails adapted to be cohered together in strips for use in automatic nailing equipment.
  • a second alternative is to utilize a plurality of ordinary common nails arranged in stepped relationship; that is, with a portion of the head of each nail resting on top of a portion of the head of the adjacent nail.
  • nails with their heads in stepped relationship are arranged with their points converging. This arrangement eliminates some of the space between adjacent nails, but requires a more complicated feeding apparatus in connection with the nailing machine.
  • This invention contemplates a nail having a notched head, and a collar immediately below the head provided with a notch aligned with the notch in the head.
  • a plurality of these nails can be arranged in a strip with their heads in stepped relationship, with the shank of one nail received in the notch of the adjacent nail and with the collar of this nail resting on the head of the adjacent nail.
  • a further object is to provide a nail which, in strip form, is easily handled by the feeding mechanism of an automatic nail driving machine.
  • FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view of a plurality of nails according to this invention cohered together in strip form.
  • FIGURE 2 is a partial rear elevational view of a single nail according to this invention.
  • FIGURE 3 is a top plan view of a single nail according to this invention.
  • FIGURE 4 is a cross sectional view along the line 44 of FIGURE 1.
  • the nail according to this invention includes a shank indicated generally at 10 having at one end a conventional point 12 and having at the other end a head indicated generally at 14.
  • each nail includes a collar 16, which is in efiect an enlarged portion of the shank of the nail immediately below the head. The importance of this collar will be discussed inmore detail hereinafter.
  • the head 14 of each nail includes a notch indicated at 18. This notch extends from the periphery of the head into a point tangent with the shank of the nail, and is generally of a configuration to receive the shank of another nail.
  • the purpose of the notch 18 is to permit the cohering together of a plurality of nails with their shanks in contact along substantially their full lengths, and at the same time, to provide a-substantially full head for the nail in order to maintain to as great a degree as possible the driving characteristics and holding power of the nail. Therefore, while the notch should freely receive the shank of an adjacent nail, it need not be formed to any precise configuration.
  • the collar 16 is provided with a notch 20 which is coterminous with the inner portion of the notch 18 in the head, in order to permit the cohering together of nails as described above.
  • the shank of each nail is provided with four flats ice 3 22a, 22b, 22c and 22d equally spaced about its periphery, with one of the flats 22a located at the base of the notches 18 and 20.
  • FIGURE 1 it will be observed that when a plurality of nails according to this invention are cohered together in strip form, the head of each successive nail will be spaced a short distance above the preceding nail by virtue of the collar 16. That is, when cohered together, the collar 16 of one nail will be resting upon a portion of the head 14 of the preceding nail, thereby accomplishing the spacing noted above. It has been discovered that this spacing is important and desirable during the cohering process in making it easier to handle the individual nails.
  • a magazine for feeding nails cohered together in strip form will be designed so that the nails are maintained in the magazine with their shanks always parallel to the direction in which they will be driven.
  • the magazine will extend angularly upward from the workpiece at an angle substantially equal to the angle noted above defined by a line tangent to the heads of the nails cohered together and the horizontal.
  • this angle is greater, thereby meaning that the magazine will extend upwardly from the workpiece at a greater angle than in the case of nails not having the collar according to this .4 invention.
  • This greater angular relationship provides more clearance between the workpiece and the nailing machine, and permits its use in tighter quarters and the like than is possible with the more horizontally disposed machine.
  • this angle should be 30 or greater.
  • a plurality of nails cohered together in strip form each said nail having a shank with a point at one end, a head at the other end, and a collar on said shank immediately beneath said head, said collar having a diameter less than the diameter of said head and slightly greater than the diameter of said shank, said head and collar having a notch of a configuration to receive the shank of another nail and extending radially from the periphery of said head to a line tangent to said shank, whereby in the strip the notch in said head and collar of a first nail receives the shank of the successive nail, at least a portion of the collar of said successive nail resting on a portion of the head of said first nail, whereby said heads of said plurality of said nails are spaced apart in the direction of driving, while the shanks of said nails are in contact throughout substantially their entire length.
