Directional clinching tool and nails

Abstract

A clinch nailer tool system. The system includes a clinch nailer tool body, coil magazine disposed in a bottom of the clinch nailer tool body and configured to hold a coil of nails, clinch arm pivotally connected to the clinch nailer tool body at a proximal end of the clinch arm, clinch nailer tool nose disposed in a front portion of the clinch nailer tool body, wherein the clinch nailer tool nose includes an opening in a lower portion thereof for receiving a nail from the coil magazine; and clinch plate disposed on a distal end of the clinch arm, wherein the clinch plate is configured to bend a nail from the clinch nailer tool nose.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A clinch nailer tool system comprising:
 a clinch nailer tool body:   a coil magazine disposed in a bottom of the clinch nailer tool body and configured to hold a coil of nails;   a clinch arm pivotally connected to the clinch nailer tool body at a proximal end of the clinch arm;   a clinch nailer tool nose disposed in a front portion of the clinch nailer tool body, wherein the clinch nailer tool nose includes an opening in a lower portion thereof for receiving a nail from the coil magazine; and   a clinch plate disposed on a distal end of the clinch arm, wherein the clinch plate is configured to bend a nail from the clinch nailer tool nose.   
     
     
         2 . The clinch nailer tool system of  claim 1 , further comprising a resilient pad disposed between the clinch arm and the clinch plate configured to angle the clinch plate when the tool nose is depressed. 
     
     
         3 . The clinch nailer tool system of  claim 1 , further comprising an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the angle of the clinch nailer tool. 
     
     
         4 . The clinch tool mechanism of  claim 3 , wherein the adjustment mechanism comprises two oppositely disposed bolts in a threaded tensioner. 
     
     
         5 . The clinch tool mechanism of  claim 4 , wherein the threaded tensioner has internally threaded openings disposed in each end thereof, and wherein threaded portion of the bolts are disposed in the threaded openings. 
     
     
         6 . The clinch tool mechanism of  claim 5 , wherein the internally threaded openings are threaded in opposite directions. 
     
     
         7 . The clinch tool mechanism of  claim 6 , wherein a head portion of a first one of the bolts is attached to a tool housing of the tool body and the head portion of a second one of the bolts is attached to a clinch mechanism which includes the clinch arm, wherein the angle adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust the angle of the clinch nailer tool when a user rotates the threaded tensioner about its longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         8 . The clinch tool mechanism of  claim 7 , wherein the pair of bolts are configured to move relative to one another within threaded tensioner causing the tool housing to rotate up or down by pivoting around an angle adjustment mechanism rotation point. 
     
     
         9 . The clinch tool mechanism of  claim 1 , further comprising the coil of nails, wherein each nail has a deformity on one side of the nail. 
     
     
         10 . The clinch tool mechanism of  claim 1 , further comprising the coil of nails, wherein each nail has a deformity comprising a ring groove disposed in a shank of the nail. 
     
     
         11 . The clinch tool mechanism of  claim 10 , wherein each nail has a plurality of ring grooves disposed in a shank of the nail.
