Abstract
A nailing machine includes a nail feeding channel member having therein a nail feeding channel connected to a nail guide channel formed in a driver guide. A driver is reciprocally driven through the nail guide channel for driving nails of a nail-carrying strip supplied by a nail feeding mechanism from a magazine through the nail feeding channel. A door member is mounted on the nail feeding channel member for closing and opening the nail feeding channel. An engaging pawl and a strip-retaining pawl are mounted on the door member. The engaging pawl is operable to engage one of engaging holes of the nail-carrying strip set in the nail feeding channel, as the door member is closed, for preventing movement of the nail-carrying strip in a direction opposite to the feeding direction of the nail-carrying strip. The strip-retaining pawl is operable to abut on the nail-carrying strip prior to engagement of the engaging pawl with the one engaging hole, as the door member is closed, for preventing floating of the nail-carrying strip.
