ABSTRACT:
The disclosure presents a guide mechanism for a nailing machine in which series-connected nails are fed from a magazine to a nose portion and the foremost nail of the series-connected nails is driven from a nail ejecting outlet of the nose portion by a driver. The guide mechanism includes: a stationary wall formed between the nose section and the magazine; a door pivotable with respect to the stationary wall; a nail guide passage is defined by the stationary wall and by the door, for guiding the series-connected nails from the magazine to the nose portion; a head guide attached to the door, the head guide being abutted against the side surface of the head of each of the series-connected nails to guide the head of each nail; a shank guide attached to the door, for guiding the shank of each nail, the shank guide including a ratchet being movable towards and away from the stationary wall to vary the width of the nail guide passage; and a guide piece attached to the ratchet of the shank guide, the guide piece being protruding towards the stationary wall rather than towards the head guide, to engage with the lower surface of the head of each of the series-connected nails to support each nail.
