Abstract

An abutment adjusting device for a nail gun has a horizontal sliding rail disposed on a bottom side of a nail cartridge of the nail gun. The sliding rail has multiple positioning grooves. An abutment having a containing groove opening upward is disposed on the sliding rail. The containing groove has two groove sidewalls, each of which has at least a vertical guiding channel for slidably disposing a sliding block in the containing groove. The sliding block has a top having at least a protruding part corresponding to the positioning grooves. A first elastic unit is disposed in the containing groove for driving the sliding block to move upward and further drive the protruding part to be engaged into the positioning grooves so as to position the abutment. Thereby, a user can press the sliding block to drive the protruding part to be disengaged from the positioning groove and to release the positioning groove, move the abutment to an appropriate position and release the sliding block to drive the protruding part to be engaged with the positioning groove and to position the abutment for another time.

Claims (21)

1. An abutment adjusting device for a nail gun, comprising:

a horizontal sliding rail disposed on a bottom side of an nail cartridge of the nail gun, the sliding rail having a horizontal guiding board on each side thereof, a plurality of positioning grooves opening downward being disposed between the guiding boards;

an abutment having a containing groove opening upward, the containing groove having two groove sidewalls, each of the sidewalls having a horizontal groove and at least a vertical guiding channel, the horizontal grooves being mounted on the guiding board for guiding the abutment to be slidably disposed on the sliding rail;

a sliding block with a top having at least a protruding part corresponding to the positioning grooves, the two sides of the sliding block respectively having at least a vertical ear-board, each ear-board is slidably disposed in the guiding channel for guiding the sliding block to be slidably disposed in the containing groove; and

a first elastic unit disposed in the containing groove for driving the sliding block to move upward and further drive the protruding part to be engaged into the positioning grooves so as to position the abutment.

2. The abutment adjusting device for a nail gun of claim 1 , wherein the sliding block has a contact part which extends outside of the abutment on a side end of the sliding block.

3. The abutment adjusting device for a nail gun of claim 1 , wherein a protection board is mounted to the abutment for preventing wearing on bottom and sides of the abutment.

4. The abutment adjusting device for a nail gun of claim 1 , wherein a protruding pole is disposed on a bottom of the containing groove, and a containing hole is formed on a bottom of the sliding block corresponding to the protruding pole, the first elastic unit is positioned between the protruding pole and the containing hole.

5. The abutment adjusting device for a nail gun of claim 4 , wherein the first elastic unit is a spring which extends between the protruding pole and the containing hole along an axes of the spring.

6. The abutment adjusting device for a nail gun of claim 5 , wherein the spring vertically extends between the protruding pole and the containing hole along the axes of the spring.

7. The abutment adjusting device for a nail gun of claim 5 , wherein the spring extends slantways from the protruding pole to the containing hole along the axes of the spring.

8. The abutment adjusting device for a nail gun of claim 1 , wherein the horizontal groove and the at least a vertical guiding channel of each of the sidewalls of the containing groove intersect with each other.

9. An abutment adjusting device for a nail gun, comprising:

a horizontal sliding rail disposed on a bottom side of an nail cartridge of the nail gun, the sliding rail having a horizontal guiding board on each side thereof, a plurality of positioning grooves opening downward being disposed between the guiding boards;

an abutment having a containing groove opening upward, the containing groove having two groove sidewalls, each of the sidewalls having a horizontal groove and at least a vertical guiding channel, the horizontal grooves being mounted on the guiding board for guiding the abutment to be slidably disposed on the sliding rail;

a sliding block with a top having at least a protruding part corresponding to the positioning grooves, the two sides of the sliding block respectively having at least a vertical ear-board, each ear-board is slidably disposed in the guiding channel for guiding the sliding block to be slidably disposed in the containing groove, the sliding block having a tilted guiding groove installed on a side end thereof;

a button horizontally and slidably disposed in the containing groove, the button having a tiled shape and being engaged with a guiding piece in the guiding groove, the button being configured for driving the sliding block moving vertically so as to drive the protruding part to be engaged with or disengaged from the positioning groove; and

at least a second elastic unit disposed in the containing groove and configured for driving the button to move and further drive the protruding part to be engaged with the positioning groove so as to position the abutment.

10. The abutment adjusting device for a nail gun of claim 9 , wherein the button has a contact part which extends outside of the abutment on a side end of the button.

11. The abutment adjusting device for a nail gun of claim 9 , wherein the second elastic unit is a spring which horizontally positioned in the containing groove along an axes of the spring and contacts the button.

12. The abutment adjusting device for a nail gun of claim 9 , wherein the horizontal groove and the at least a vertical guiding channel of each of the sidewalls of the containing groove intersect with each other.
