ABSTRACT:
A magazine for a nail-driving tool, which may be pneumatically powered or combustion-powered, is arranged to store a plurality of plural nail strips in side-by-side relationship. A spring-biased mechanism is used to bias the stored strips toward a side rail. Being movable along a frame between an advanced position and a retracted position, a feeding member in the retracted position engages the shank of an endmost nail of the stored strip nearest to the side rail. A negator spring mechanism biasing the feeding member toward the advanced position includes a leaf spring arranged to be longitudinally pulled between the nail heads of the stored ship nearest to the side rail and the nail heads of the next strip when the feeding member is moved from the advanced position into the retracted position. The feeding member has a wedging portion arranged to push between some of the nail shanks of the stored strip nearest to the side rail of the magazine and some of the nail shanks of the next strip and to lead the leaf spring when moved from the advanced position into the retracted position and a rail-engaging portion arranged to push between the side rail and some of the nail shanks nearest to the side rail when moved similarly. In an operative position, in which it can be releasably latched, a biasing member bears against the nearest strip. A floor member can be adjustably positioned. When latched, the biasing member latches the floor.
