A floating nail guide gun nozzle for nail a gun has a nail gun body, a gun nozzle holder located in the front end of the nail gun body, a linked cover plate located on the gun nozzle holder and an elastic reset mechanism located on the gun nozzle holder. A strutting bulge protrudes from the bottom surface of the front end of the linked cover plate, and the strutting bulge flares towards the front end of the linked cover plate and tilts down. The elastic reset mechanism enables the linking part to prop the strutting bulge of the linked cover plate against the gun nozzle holder without an external force.

A fixing tool including a nose for guiding of fixing elements and a striking plate for striking of the fixing elements, wherein the fixing tool is configured to fire a fixing element of a first type and a fixing element of a second type with dimensional and/or geometric characteristics which are different from those of the fixing element of the first type.

A deck clip magazine for use with a pneumatic fastener gun and a plurality of generally T-shaped deck clips attached to one another by webbing to form a clip belt. The deck clip magazine has a housing with a channel shaped to receive the clip belt and a front end with an opening to permit egress of the leading clip from the channel. An aperture on the housing is aligned with the barrel of the pneumatic fastener gun and permits fasteners to pass therethrough to secure the generally T-shaped clips in position. The clips are aligned below the aperture by way of an inwardly biased movable stop located adjacent the opening. A cutting mechanism is aligned with the webbing and selectively actuated to sever the webbing between adjacent clips in the clip belt.

A quick release device for a panel of nail guns has a quick release mount, a pulling base, and an elastic element. The quick release mount is disposed on a body of a nail gun adjacent to a rear end of an ejecting track, and has two connecting boards and a pivotal rod connected to the two connecting boards. The pulling base is pressably connected to the quick release mount, selectively engages with a panel of the nail gun, and has an engaging hook, a pivot hole, and a pulling arm. The engaging hook is formed on the pulling base, and selectively engages with a limiting claw of the panel to limit a position of the panel relative to the ejecting track. The elastic element is mounted between the quick release mount and the pulling base to provide a returning force to the pulling base.

An apparatus for driving a fastening element into an underlying surface, the apparatus having a center of gravity, an energy transmission element, which is movable between a starting position and a setting position, for transmitting driving-in energy to the fastening element, a piston drive that provides driving-in energy, a housing, and a bolt guide that guides the fastening element while it is being driven in, wherein the bolt guide is mounted on the housing in a rotatable manner with respect to rotation about the center of gravity.

An accessory attachment for a driven fastener hand tool is disclosed comprising a mounting block having an attachment channel and an indexing guide feature. A plate for covering a fastener driving channel of the fastener tool has a nose end with chamfered edges on opposing sides towards the fastener driving channel and the attachment channel has opposing lips for seating against the chamfered edges of the nose end of the plate. One or more bolts through the mounting block at a bottom of the attachment channel press the nose end of the plate causing the opposing lips of the mounting block to press against the chamfered edges thereby securing the mounting block to the nose end of the plate. Alternately or additionally, the mounting block can be used to support a range of accessories including, a non-marring pad, a light, such as an LED, a level, and/or an edge guide.

A nail blocking member for a nail gun. The nail gun includes a firing portion for firing a nail. When an object is pressed upon the nail blocking member by the firing portion, the nail is fired by the firing portion to enter the object. The nail blocking member includes a main body having a contact face, with a formation groove concavely disposed on the contact face, and a guiding block protruding from the formation groove. An object is pressed upon the contact face by the firing portion, and a nail is fired by the firing portion to enter the object to hit the guiding block, such that the nail is guided by the guiding block to move toward the formation groove, so as to be bent along the formation groove and reversely folded back into the object.

A nosepiece assembly includes a first nosepiece portion including a fastener guide. The fastener guide has a support ledge to position a first fastener of a collated strip of fasteners in a drive channel. The nosepiece assembly also includes a second nosepiece portion connected to the first nosepiece portion opposite to the fastener guide with the first and second nosepiece portions defining the drive channel therebetween and defining a debris ejection passage therebetween. The debris ejection passage extends between the drive channel and a debris ejection aperture on an exterior surface of the nosepiece assembly.

A fastener-installation system is described that includes a driver to drive a fastener into a structure and a fastener feeder to load the fastener into a loaded position of the driver. The fastener feeder includes a fastener magazine to hold a plurality of fasteners. The fastener-installation system further includes a driver head having a plurality of jaws moveable between a closed position and an expanded position. In the closed position, the plurality of jaws form a piercing tip to pierce material of the structure. Further, the jaws spread apart the material of the structure when the jaws move from the closed position to the expanded position to create a path through the material through which the fastener is driven.

A fastener driving tool magazine and nose piece for use with a fastener with a preinstalled elastomer beneath the head of the fastener. A magazine structure for avoiding damage to the elastomer is taught and a birds beak fastener guide is taught for installing the fastener while still avoiding damage to the elastomer.
