Pneumatic coil nailer

A canister-type magazine for a fastener driving tool using a coil of tandemly arranged fasteners. The magazine comprises a substantially cylindrical body having a top, a bottom and side walls. The magazine is openable, providing access to the interior thereof. A cylindrical magazine post extends upwardly from the center of the magazine bottom. A pair of latch members are located in diametric openings in the magazine post near the upper end thereof. The latch members are shiftable between a first position wherein they extend beyond the peripheral surface of the magazine post and a second position wherein they are within the confines of the peripheral surface of the magazine post. The latch members are biased to their first position. A fastener coil supporting platform is provided having a hollow center post with an interior diameter sized to slidingly receive the magazine post. The platform post has at least two pairs of diametric openings in its cylindrical side wall. Each pair of openings in the support post are adapted to be located coaxially with the pair of openings of the magazine post and to receive the latch members in their first extend positions whereby the platform is lockable in at least two positions along the magazine post to accommodate coils of fasteners of at least two different lengths.

Fastener length adjustable canister-type magazine for a fastener driving

A shingle gauge for use with a nail driving tool of the type having a magazine which feeds nails into a guide body to be driven through shingle elements into a roof structure and having a shingle element locating surface adjacent the guide body nose. The gauge comprises a mounting bracket fixed beneath the magazine and a gauge element slidably and pivotally supported on the bracket and shiftable therealong toward and away from the locating surface to adjust the distance therebetween to accommodate various sizes of shingle elements. A latch is attached to the gauge element and is capable of a locking engagement with the support bracket at any selected one of a plurality of predetermined positions therealong to locate and lock the gauge element at that selected position. The gauge element is pivotable between a fast position in which the latch is in locking engagement with the mounting bracket at one of the predetermined positions therealong and a second position in which the latch is out of locking engagement therewith. The gauge element is biased to its first position. The attachment between the gauge element and the latch is adjustable to provide a fine positioning adjustment of the gauge element to compensate for wear or the like.
