ABSTRACT:
A nail constructed with four head elements extending generally radially outwardly from one end of an elongated substantially cylindrical shank. The head elements are shaped to permit a multiplicity of such nails to be packaged in correspondingly head oriented parallel relation with the shanks of adjacent nails disposed in substantial abutting engagement and with the leading two head elements of each nail in overlapping relation with the trailing two head elements of the forwardly adjacent nail. The head elements are also shaped so that when the nail is driven into a workpiece at least a portion of the head elements will extend across the grain of a wood workpiece irrespective of the orientation of the head elements with respect to the workpiece. The head elements are also shaped so that the nail can be driven from a package of such nails with a fastener driving tool in such a way that guiding contact with the shank in all four transverse component directions can be maintained substantially throughout the longitudinal driving movement of the nail and the driving movement can be accomplished by a fastener driving element having a size and shape at least equal to the shank and disposed in alignment therewith without head interference from the next adjacent nail of the package.
