Abstract

An exemplary compressed air filter assembly for nail gun has an end cap at a handle of the nail gun, having an inlet aperture for guiding external compressed air therein, communicating with a main air chamber of the handle; an inlet pipe extending in the inlet aperture and the main air chamber, having a ring-shaped step formed at an inner peripheral surface of a sidewall thereof; and a filter disposed at the inlet pipe. At least one bar is provided at the sidewall of the inlet pipe, transversely disposed in the inlet aperture, and the filter being disposed between the at least one bar and the ring-shaped step. The compressed air filter assembly for nail gun utilize the at least one bar to support a center portion of the filter, which can improve the strength of the filter to resist the blasting of the compressed air.

Claims (9)

1. A compressed air filter assembly for nail gun, comprising:

an end cap at a handle of the nail gun, having an inlet aperture for guiding external compressed air therein, communicating a main air chamber of the handle;

an inlet pipe extending in the inlet aperture and located in the main air chamber, comprising a nozzle formed at distal end thereof;

a filter disposed at the nozzle; and

a sleeve sleeved on the inlet pipe, which comprises a plurality of guiding holes at one end thereof;

wherein at least one bar is provided at the sidewall of the inlet pipe and the sidewall of the sleeve, transversely disposed in the inlet aperture for securely fixing the sleeve on the inlet pipe, and the filter being disposed between the plurality of guiding holes and the nozzle.

2. The compressed air filter assembly as claimed in the claim 1 , wherein the inlet pipe comprises at least one pair of through holes, and the sleeve comprises at least one pair of via holes, corresponding to the at least one pair of through holes, at least one pair of bars drilling through the at least one pair of through holes and the at least one pair of via holes, respectively, so that the sleeve is securely fixed on the inlet pipe.

3. The compressed air filter assembly as claimed in the claim 1 , wherein the sleeve comprises a plurality of crossed ribs at the end thereof to define the plurality of guiding holes.

4. The compressed air filter assembly as claimed in the claim 1 , wherein the nozzle of the inlet pipe comprises a ring-shaped embedded groove for receiving an airtight ring when the filter is disposed on the nozzle.
