Definitions

  • the field of the invention is that of fasteners of the nail or wall plug type, comprising a shank with a rear head and a pointed front end.
  • Fasteners for the guide peg may come in strip form, their pegs strung together in a string, the strip being mounted in a loading device with a return spring so that when the loading device is mounted on the apparatus, the strip is pushed and a guide peg is introduced into the barrel before each firing action.
  • a string of guide pegs is described, for example, in patent EP 0 502 667.
  • the peg of the element that is to be driven is separated from the adjacent peg by shearing by the weight in the apparatus and then, as the fastener is driven into the receiving material, the peg acts as a shock absorber and washer.
  • pegs in a string may be effective in guiding a fastener in the barrel or the plug guide as long as the guide peg of the fastener considered is still attached to an adjacent peg still situated in the loading device, the same is no longer true when the last fastener of the strip is reached and has to be transferred from the loading device into the barrel, because its guide peg is no longer held either by the adjacent peg or by the wall of the internal bore of the barrel (or the plug guide) open onto the loading device. It can therefore tilt and jam the apparatus.
  • the invention relates first of all to a strip of fasteners for a fastening apparatus with a loading device intended to take the strip, each fastener comprising a shank pointed at one end and bearing a head at the other end, the fasteners being engaged respectively via their shanks in guide pegs joined together into a string before they are transferred, one by one, from the loading device into the apparatus, in the firing position, the strip being characterized in that at least one of the guide pegs at the end of the string comprises support means designed to prevent it from tilting as it is transferred from the loading device into the apparatus.
  • the last fastener is prevented from tiltping in the barrel or the plug guide.
  • the strip of fasteners may be introduced into the loading device in either of two directions, it is preferable for the two end guide pegs of the strip at least to comprise support means.
  • the support means comprise at least one lug extending transversely to the overall plane of the strip.
  • each peg comprises two transverse lugs which are symmetric with respect to the overall plane of the strip, thus balancing the support.
  • all the pegs of the strip have support lugs, by virtue of which, if a strip is broken, the parts of the strip remain usable.
  • the invention also relates to an indirect-acting fastening apparatus with a weight intended to be propelled along a bore to drive a fastener of a strip of fasteners as defined above and accommodated in a loading device of the apparatus, which apparatus is characterized in that the bore in which the weight is intended to be propelled and which is intended to receive the fastener with its guide peg provided with support means is designed to accommodate the said support means.
  • the said bore in which the weight is propelled is grooved so as to accommodate at least one support lug of the guide pegs of the strip of fasteners.
  • the invention relates finally, and by way of intermediate product, to a loading device for an indirect-acting fastener apparatus with a weight intended to be propelled along a bore to drive a fastener of a strip of fasteners, the loading device being designed to take the strip of fasteners and comprising a chamber to house the guide pegs of the fasteners of the strip, the chamber being designed to accommodate the said support means of the guide pegs.
  • the chamber accommodating the guide pegs of the loading device is grooved to accommodate at least one support lug of the guide pegs of the strip of fasteners.
  • FIG. 1 is a view in section of a fastening apparatus and of its loading device of the prior art
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the strip of fasteners of the invention
  • FIG. 3 is a section view of the fastening apparatus and of its loading device of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a view in section of the fastening apparatus and of the loading device, on IV-IV of FIG. 3, and
  • FIG. 5 is a view in section of the loading device on V-V of FIG. 3
  • the loading device can, depending on the apparatus, be mounted either on its barrel, or on its brad guide, the remainder of the description will speak of the body of the apparatus in order to denote either one of these items without expressing any preference.
  • FIG. 1 relates to the prior art, the elements of the apparatus of the prior art and of the apparatus of the invention which are the same will be associated with the same references.
  • the fastening apparatus 10 comprises a body 2 and a loading device 3 .
  • the fastener 1 comprises a shank which is pointed at one end 8 and has a head 7 at the other end. It is held in a guide peg 11 to guide it in the bore 4 of the body.
  • the guide pegs for the fasteners of the strip, forming a string 20 and in this instance not only the end pegs of the strip 11 ′ and 11 ′′ but all the other pegs 11 also, have support lugs 14 .
  • Each guide peg 11 has a part 110 which is generally tubular, intended to take the shank 1 of a fastener, and a ring 111 , surmounting the tubular part 110 , also intended to take the shank of the fastener, about. its portion adjacent to the head 7 which is itself intended to bear against this ring 111 .
  • the ring 111 is slightly oblong, with a major axis running transversely, here perpendicular, to the general plane 112 of the string 20 and therefore of the strip of fasteners when the fasteners are engaged within their guide pegs.
  • the support lugs 14 are formed as a projection on the ring of the pegs, at the ends of its major axis and, in this instance, in the end plane 115 of the ring. In a plane transverse to the axis of a guide peg 11 , the support lugs 14 thus project out of the overall diameter of the guide peg 11 . These are small half-moon lugs.
  • the chamber 6 of the loading device 3 is grooved and has two grooves 15 for accommodating the lugs 14 of the rings of the guide pegs 11 .
  • the linear grooves 15 of the loading device are continued into the body 2 in the form of two small grooves 17 formed in the wall of the bore 4 and also intended to house the support lugs 14 of the guide pegs 11 .
  • the string 20 described is a string of guide cavities (pegs) 11 with two transverse support lugs 14 . Naturally, it would be possible to settle for providing just one on each peg.
  • the support lugs described are half-moon shaped. It would also have been possible to envisage trapezoidal lugs or even rectangular ones. In any event, it is necessary, but sufficient, for the overall transverse diameter of each cavity, in the plane of the support lugs, to exceed the diameter of the cavity outside this plane, that is to say the diameter of the bore 4 in which the weight 5 slides.
