A stapling tool which includes an anvil assembly that is pivotally mounted and which can be positioned to secure items together through which a staple received from a magazine assembly is driven. The tool is trigger-operated and sequentially positions the anvil assembly to retain the items, after which a motor is actuated to drive the staple to connect the items. Following the driving action, the anvil assembly is removed to permit assembly of the connected items.

Stapling tool

The invention is concerned with a nail driving tool preferably operable in pneumatical manner, comprising a magazine for nails composed to form straight rows or straight strips, which nails are successively forced from the front end of a guide, possibly corresponding to the staggered arrangement of the nails, and obliquely terminating into a drive-out channel via a lateral inlet channel into a presenting composition for being, e.g., pneumatically forced out of the drive-out channel. For increasing the magazine capacity while maintaining a handy volume, it is provided that the magazine be formed as a box-type magazine of a width suitable for accommodating two or more nail strips or rows in side-by-side relationship and that the nail strips or rows can be successively forced in a direction normal to the planes of the nail strips or rows into alignment with the inlet channel of the drive-out channel.

Nail driving tool

The present invention relates to a pneumatically operable fastener driving tool which uses a safety device which prevents the operation of the tool until it is in engagement with the workpiece. More particularly, the safety mechanism includes a safety nose that is normally retained in a retracted position prior to the tool being operated. When the tool is to be operated, the safety nose is extended to be engaged by the workpiece. Subsequent engagement of the safety nose by the workpiece permits the trigger mechanism to effect driving movement of the driver. The mechanism includes a first valve which controls the flow of high-pressure air to the driving piston and a second valve which controls the flow of air to the safety mechanism. The trigger mechanism initially operates the second valve to move the safety nose to the operative position and when the safety nose engages the workpiece it effects operation of the first valve to control the operation of the driving piston.
