ABSTRACT:
A tool for spacing decorative furniture nails comprises an elongated handle arranged for grasping by a user, joined angularly at one end to a planar gripping body which is configured for placement in overlying engagement with the edge of a piece of upholstery material to be nailed to a furniture frame. The gripping body has a substantially straight working edge, and a plurality of nail receiving openings are located at evenly spaced intervals in the gripping body a short distance inwardly from the working edge for frictionally engaging the shanks of nails. Flared slots, which extend from each opening outwardly to the working edge, are configured for communicating with the openings over slightly less than 180.degree. of their periphery for capturing the shank of a nail in an opening and permitting its release upon pivoting of the body about an already set nail. Positioning cavities, located at each end of the gripping body, coplanar and evenly spaced with the openings, are configured for receiving the enlarged head of a nail for indexing the tool relative to an already set nail. A small support pad, having a single nail gripping slot, is located at the opposite end of the handle for engaging a single nail.
