Abstract

A nail pusher locating device for a magazine assembly has a nail pusher slidingly disposed in the magazine assembly; and a first elastic element between the magazine assembly and the nail pusher for driving the nail pusher to move toward a top end of the magazine assembly. The nail pusher has at least one bended-shaped guiding groove. The guiding groove has an entrance, an exit, and a capturing notch, opening to the top end, and a ridge protruding from an inner sidewall thereof, opposite to the capturing notch. The nail pusher further has a guiding flange slantwise extending to the entrance. The magazine assembly has a sway arm pivotally disposed at a tail end thereof, which has at least one guiding pole corresponding to the guiding flange. In addition, a second elastic element is provided between the tail end and the sway arm.

Claims (23)

1. A nail pusher locating device for a magazine assembly, comprising:

a nail pusher slidingly disposed in the magazine assembly; and

a first elastic element between the magazine assembly and the nail pusher for driving the nail pusher to move toward a top end of the magazine assembly;

wherein the nail pusher comprises at least one bended-shaped guiding groove, the guiding groove comprising an entrance, an exit, and a capturing notch, opening to the top end of the magazine assembly, and a ridge protruding from an inner sidewall of the guiding groove, opposite to the capturing notch; the nail pusher further comprises a guiding flange slantwise extending to the entrance;

the magazine assembly comprises a sway arm pivotally disposed at a tail end thereof, which comprises at least one guiding pole corresponding to the guiding flange; and a second elastic element is provided between the tail end and the sway arm, for driving the guiding pole to move from the entrance to the exits,

wherein the ridge partitions the inner sidewall of the guiding groove to form a front stopping notch and a rear stopping notch, opening to the tail end of the magazine assembly.

2. The nail pusher locating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of guiding grooves are formed at two opposite outer sides of the nail pusher and a plurality of guiding poles are opposite to each other.

3. The nail pusher locating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of guiding grooves are formed at two opposite inner sides of the nail pusher and a plurality of guiding poles are opposite to each other.

4. The nail pusher locating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the front stopping notch comprises a slant surface slantways extending to the entrance.

5. The nail pusher locating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the capturing notch comprises a slant surface slantways extending to the corresponding front stopping notch.

6. The nail pusher locating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rear stopping notch comprises a third slant surface slantways extending to the capturing notch.

7. The nail pusher locating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the exit comprises a fourth slant surface, inward oblique, slantways extending to the corresponding rear stopping notch.

8. The nail pusher locating device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the second elastic element drives the guiding pole to move to the fourth slant surface.

9. A nail pusher locating device for a magazine assembly, comprising:

a nail pusher slidingly disposed in the magazine assembly; and

a first elastic element between the magazine assembly and the nail pusher for driving the nail pusher to move toward a top end of the magazine assembly;

wherein the nail pusher comprises at least one bended-shaped guiding groove, the guiding groove comprising an entrance, an exit, and a capturing notch, opening to the top end of the magazine assembly, and a ridge protruding from an inner sidewall of the guiding groove, opposite to the capturing notch; the nail pusher further comprises a guiding flange slantwise extending to the entrance;

the magazine assembly comprises a sway arm pivotally disposed at a tail end thereof, which comprises at least one guiding pole corresponding to the guiding flange; and a second elastic element is provided between the tail end and the sway arm, for driving the guiding pole to move from the entrance to the exit,

wherein the ridge partitions the inner sidewall of the guiding groove to form a stopping notch, opening to the tail end of the magazine assembly.

10. The nail pusher locating device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the entrance comprises a front slant surface, inward oblique, slantways extending to the ridge.

11. The nail pusher locating device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the entrance comprises a front slant surface, inward oblique, slantways extending to the capturing notch.

12. The nail pusher locating device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the exit has a rear slant surface, inward oblique, slantways extending to the corresponding rear stopping notch.

13. The nail pusher locating device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the second elastic element drives the guiding pole to move to the corresponding rear slant surface.
