Nail gun with a pad holding device

Abstract

A nail gun has a body, a nail magazine, a pad supplier and a pad holding device. The pad holding device is mounted between the body and the pad supplier and has a base plate, an outer cap and a holding ring. The base plate is attached to the body, is connected to the pad supplier and has a pad channel and a holding hole. The outer cap has an outlet and a recess. The holding ring is C-shaped, is held inside the recess in the outer cap, aligns with the holding hole and has an inner diameter and an outer diameter. The inner diameter is slightly small than that of the holding hole to make the holding ring partially overlap with the holding hole to allow the holding ring to be expanded inside the recess.

1 . A nail gun comprising: 
 a body having a muzzle;    a nail magazine attached to the body for containing nails inside;    a pad supplier connected to the body for containing pads inside; and    a pad holding device mounted between the muzzle of the body and the pad supplier and comprising 
 a base plate attached to the muzzle of the body, connected to the pad supplier and having 
 a pad channel defined in the base plate; and  
 a holding hole communicating with the pad channel, aligning with the muzzle in the body and having a diameter;  
 
 an outer cap attached to the base plate, corresponding to the holding hole and having 
 an outlet defined through the outer cap and aligning with the holding hole in the base plate; and  
 a recess defined in the outer cap at a side facing the base plate, around and communicating with the outlet and having an inner diameter; and  
 
 a holding ring being C-shaped, held inside the recess in the outer cap, aligning with the holding hole and having 
 an inner diameter slightly small than that of the holding hole to make the holding ring partially overlap with the holding hole; and  
 an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the recess in the outer cap to allow the holding ring to be expanded inside the recess.
