Abstract
A fastener driving tool with an improved fastener package supporting magazine canister assembly constructed essentially of three plastic parts: (1) a mounting part, (2) a package supporting part, and (3) a package covering part. A plurality of ledges on the exterior periphery of a portion of a peripheral wall of the supporting part and series of cooperating ledges on the mounting part act as an adjustable mount for releasably fixedly supporting the package supporting part on the mounting part in a selected one of a plurality of different operative positions depending upon the nail size of the package which is selected. A movable connection serves to support the package covering part on the mounting part for movement between (1) an operative position overlying the bottom wall of the package supporting part in any of its selected operative positions so as to contain the corresponding selected package in point supported relation on the bottom wall and within the peripheral confinement of the peripheral wall of the package supporting part, and (2) an access position wherein the space overlying the bottom wall is sufficiently open to permit movement of a package into point supported relation to the bottom wall within the peripheral wall of the package supporting part. A releasable lock is provided for releasably locking the package covering part in its operative position.
