Introduction
Robert Tilg is an accomplished inventor based in Schaan, FL. He has made significant contributions to the field of fastening technology, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and functionality of fastening element setting guns.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for a magazine designed for a fastening element setting gun. This innovative magazine supports nail-like fastening elements and is formed of an elongated strip with spaced first openings that hold the fastening elements. Concentric with and spaced radially outwardly from each first opening are ring-like arrangements of arcuate slots or second openings, separated by radially extending webs. These webs have reduced thickness portions compared to the strip, creating weakened regions for separation when a fastening element is driven through the magazine into a receiving material.
Another notable patent by Tilg is for a fastening element holder strip with break-off locations. This strip is designed to hold fastening elements, such as nails, as they are fed into a setting device for insertion into target materials. The strip features break-off locations that allow for the separation of used portions from those still containing fastening elements. The fastening elements are secured within holes spaced apart along the strip, and as they are driven into the target material, they punch out parts of the strip. The break-off locations are notches extending inwardly from the longitudinal sides of the strip, facilitating the separation of the used portions.
