ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a device for providing proper clearance. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device for providing proper clearance when driving a nail.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Numerous innovations for nail sets have been provided in the prior art. Even though these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, however, they differ from the present invention. Furthermore, even though these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, however, they would not be suitable for the purposes of the present invention as heretofore described.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a device for providing proper clearance when driving a nail that avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for providing proper clearance when driving a nail that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a device for providing proper clearance when driving a nail that is simple to use.
Briefly stated, yet another object of the present invention is to provide a device for providing proper clearance when driving a nail having a head into a surface. The device includes a handle, a blade, an anvil, and apparatus that rotatably attaches the blade to the handle. The handle is held in a hand of a user. The blade extends rotatably from, and is replaceably attached to, the handle and captures the nail between the head of the nail and the surface when the nail is being driven into the surface. When the nail is driven into the surface, the blade provides the proper clearance. The anvil is disposed on the handle, opposes the blade, and is hit sideways to free the blade from between the head of the nail and the surface after the nail has been driven into the surface.
