A staple gun is provided, including: a main body, including a bottom side, and a staple outlet and a notch disposed on the bottom side; a staple magazine, being withdrawably received within the main body, including a track portion and an abutting portion out of the track portion; a lock mechanism, being located at the bottom side, including a pressed member disposed on the main body and located within the notch, the pressed member having a blocking portion movable between a blocking position and a releasing position; wherein when the blocking portion is in the blocking position, the blocking portion is blockably connected with the abutting portion and the staple magazine is non-withdrawable from the main body; when the blocking portion is in the releasing position, the blocking portion is unlocked by the abutting portion and the staple magazine is withdrawable from the main body.

A staple gun is provided, including: a main body, including a bottom side, and an abutting portion, a staple outlet and a notch which are disposed on the bottom side; a staple magazine, being withdrawably received within the main body; a lock mechanism, including a pressed member disposed on the staple magazine and having a restricting portion movable between a restricting position and a releasing position; wherein when the restricting portion is in the restricting position, the pressed member is located within the notch, the restricting portion is blocked with the abutting portion and the staple magazine is non-withdrawable from the main body; when the pressed member is pressed and moved toward an interior of the main body and the restricting portion is in the releasing position, the restricting portion is unlocked from the abutting portion and the staple magazine is withdrawable from the main body.

Fastening devices and methods of utilizing the same. The fastening devices include a handle, a trigger mechanism, a fastener magazine, a fastening head, and a tab feed structure. The tab feed structure includes a tab magazine, a feed rail, and a tab advance mechanism. The tab magazine is configured to contain an accordion-folded stack of tabs, which is defined by a first subset of a plurality of interconnected tabs. The fasting device is configured to, upon actuation of the trigger mechanism, urge a fastener through a leading tab of the plurality of interconnected tabs and into a workpiece to operatively affix the leading tab to the workpiece and also to advance a tab strip, which is defined by a second subset of the plurality of interconnected tabs, toward a fastening region with the tab advance mechanism. The methods include methods of utilizing and/or loading the fastening device.

The invention provides a pneumatic nail gun, comprising a gun body, a nail box, a fork and a nail forming device. The gun body comprises a sliding groove, a nail outlet adjacent to the sliding groove and a push block. The nail box and the fork are fixed on the gun body. The nail box is configured to place a plurality of strip nails to be sequentially exposed from the nail outlet. The formed fork comprises two forming surfaces with unequal heights, and the two forming surfaces are adjacent to the nail outlet. The nail forming device comprises two jaw arms, two control arms and a push seat, and the push block drives the two control arms to drive the two jaw arms to rotate and close the two forming jaws, and to drive the push seat to slide on the sliding groove.

A magazine assembly and a stapler including the same are provided. The magazine assembly includes a base and a rail assembly. The base has a first end portion and a second end portion. A direction from the second end portion toward the first end portion is defined as a first direction. The rail assembly is disposed on the base and adapted for a staple unit to movably abut thereagainst along the first direction. The rail assembly includes a first rail and a second rail which are separate. A first side wall of the first rail has at least one guiding portion extending in the first direction. Each guiding portion is adapted for a head of a T-shaped staple to slidably engage therewith along the first direction. The second rail is adapted for a U-shaped staple to abut thereagainst.

A magazine assembly and a stapler including the same are provided. The magazine assembly includes a main body and a staple-pushing mechanism. The main body has a seat body and at least one rail, the seat body has a first end portion and a second end portion, a connection of the first and second end portions is defined as a moving path, and the at least one rail is disposed on the seat body. The staple-pushing mechanism is arranged on the main body, the staple-pushing mechanism includes a staple-pushing member and a constant force spring, and the staple-pushing member is driven to move toward the first end portion via the constant force spring.

A holding and dispensing device may conveniently store fasteners and permits a user to easily and quickly retrieve and dispense fasteners, such as staples, one at a time, without the risk of fasteners falling out of the device, or protruding in a manner that may harm the user. Embodiments may be especially suitable for a core of staples. The present disclosure further relates to methods of holding fasteners in a fastener holder and methods of dispensing fasteners.
