A pneumatic stapler has a main body internally loaded with straight staple-forming wires and including a staple-driving and a wire-bending control chamber. A staple-driving element carrier is movably mounted in the staple-driving control chamber and divides the latter into a first and a second staple-driving gas flowing space. When the staple-driving element carrier moves in the second staple-driving gas flowing space to push one staple out of the main body into a workpiece, the initially isolated first staple-driving control chamber is now communicable with the wire-bending control chamber, allowing part of the gas supplied to the pneumatic stapler to flow into the wire-bending control chamber and move a wire-bending element mounted therein to bend one staple-forming wire into a staple. Therefore, the pneumatic stapler requires only one pressure source to complete both staple-driving and wire-bending operations and can have more staple-forming wires loaded therein to provide high convenience in use.

The present invention provides an irrigation staple insertion device and method for setting staples to secure flexible tubing to the ground. The device offers significant advancements toward the prevention of deformation of the tubing from driving the staples too far into the ground, and alleviates the need for an installer to bend down to install each staple. The staple insertion device may include a piston nested within an outer chamber, where the outer chamber includes a slot for holding an irrigation staple to be inserted into the ground over an irrigation tube. The piston may be structured and nested in the outer chamber such that it can only travel a pre-determined distance through the chamber that is equal to the length of the staple less the thickness of the irrigation tube.

A clinch fastener mechanism including a pivoting base configured to be pivotally connected to a pneumatic fastener tool. The clinch fastener mechanism further includes a clinch arm pivotally connected to the pivoting base at a proximal end of the clinch arm; and a clinch plate disposed on a distal end of the clinch arm, wherein tool operates within three pressure zones. The system may also include a two-valve system which works by moving pressure throughout three specific zones. The first pressure zone has pressure introduced to it by the user attaching the tool to a pressure delivery source, such as a compressor, or other source. The second pressure zone may be used to operate the clinch arm or a safety mechanism. Mechanical safeties may be configured to prevent accidental or double firing of the tool.

A nail gun structure includes a body portion including a punch portion; an air cylinder between the body portion and a swaying clamp arm, and having a telescopic rod pivotally connected with the clamp arm, the air cylinder having a piston, a first bore and a second bore disposed along an axial direction of the telescopic rod, the piston connected with the telescopic rod and reciprocating to control the communication of the second bore; and a control valve disposed between the air cylinder and the body portion, and having a tube set connected with an air source and also between the air cylinder and the body portion. When the air source and the tube set communicate with the first bore, the piston moves to allow the communication of the second bore. After the clamp arm clamping a wooden board, the punch portion punches to launch the nail.

A tool for fastening an insulator to a support, the insulator including an insulator body having a front and back, a formation for supporting a barrier, and at least one mounting formation having a front and a back by which the insulator is attached to a support, the back of the mounting formation in use being proximal to the support, at least one of the at least one mounting formation including at least one passage extending transversely through the mounting formation from the front to the back of the mounting formation, and at least one alignment member, the tool including a driver blade for driving a staple, and at least one passage alignment member, in use the at least one passage alignment member aligning at least one passage of the insulator, with one leg of a staple.

Certain embodiments described herein are directed to devices which can be used to safely secure two or more workpieces to each other, e.g., to secure a cabinet face frame to a cabinet frame. In some examples, the device comprises a base configured to engage a first surface of the first workpiece and to receive an attachment device. The base can also be configured to engage a first surface of a second workpiece. The device may also comprise piston means configured to engage the second workpiece at a second surface. The device may comprise one or more plungers that can be used to actuate the attachment device to permit fastening of the workpieces once properly arranged. Methods of using the device are also described.

A fastener driver comprises a drive blade movable from a retracted position to an extended, driven position for driving a fastener into a workpiece and a gas spring mechanism for driving the drive blade from the retracted position to the driven position. The gas spring mechanism includes a drive cylinder and a drive piston attached to the drive blade for movement therewith. The drive piston is acted on by a driving force resulting from a pressure differential created by the gas spring mechanism. The fastener driver also includes an adjustable valve for selectively limiting a flow of gas into the drive cylinder above the drive piston, or a flow of ambient air at atmospheric pressure from the drive cylinder beneath the drive piston, thereby changing the pressure differential acting on the drive piston, as the drive piston and the drive blade move from the retracted position to the extended position.
