Nailer device

Abstract

A nailer device is carried within a housing having a nozzle portion wherein the nozzle portion is connected with the housing via a head portion of the housing. The nozzle portion includes a sleeve, a fixing member, and a magnetic member located between the sleeve and the fixing member. The fixing member is mounted on the sleeve and the fixing member has a groove in which the magnetic member is arranged.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A nailer device, comprising:
 a housing containing a motor and a transmission mechanism and forming a nozzle portion having an inner diameter; 
 a striking rod arranged in the nozzle portion; 
 a rotating shaft mounted in the housing, the rotating shaft being coupled to the output shaft of the motor through the transmission mechanism; 
 an impact member surrounding the rotating shaft and being moved with the rotating shaft to thereby periodically engage the striking rod to move the striking rod in a reciprocating manner within the nozzle portion; 
 a sleeve that is retractable into the nozzle portion; 
 a fixing member mounted on the sleeve; and 
 a magnetic member for holding a nail inserted into the nozzle portion; 
 wherein the fixing member has a groove in which the magnetic member is arranged to thereby position the magnetic member between the sleeve and the fixing member and wherein an outer diameter of the sleeve and an outer diameter of the fixing member are smaller than the inner diameter of the nozzle portion. 
 
     
     
       2. The nailer device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the fixing member has an end surface which is arranged to contact with a surface of an object into which the nail is to be nailed by the striking rod. 
     
     
       3. The nailer device as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the end surface of the fixing member is made of flexible material. 
     
     
       4. The nailer device as recited in  claim 3 , wherein the flexible material comprises a plastic material. 
     
     
       5. The nailer device as recited in  claim 3 , wherein the flexible material comprises a rubber material. 
     
     
       6. The nailer device as recited in  claim 2 , wherein a protection member of flexible material is attached to the end surface of the fixing member. 
     
     
       7. The nailer device as recited in  claim 6 , wherein the flexible material comprises a plastic material. 
     
     
       8. The nailer device as recited in  claim 6 , wherein the flexible material comprises a rubber material. 
     
     
       9. The nailer device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the fixing member is mounted to an outside surface of the sleeve. 
     
     
       10. The nailer device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the fixing member is mounted to an inside surface of the sleeve. 
     
     
       11. The nailer device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein a nail containing opening into which a nail is insertable is formed by an inner hole of the sleeve. 
     
     
       12. The nailer device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the groove on the fixing member is configured to be mated with a shape of the magnetic member. 
     
     
       13. The nailer device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the fixing member is attached over an end portion of the sleeve whereupon exterior surfaces of the sleeve and the fixing member are generally aligned.
