Delivery device for a setting tool with a nail magazine

A delivery device for a setting tool has a guide tube (16), a guide rail (1) projecting from the guide tube (16) substantially transverse thereto and having a guide channel (5) for receiving fastening elements (6), a slide (2) for transporting the fastening elements in a direction toward the guide tube (16), and a locking member (3) pivotable into an interior of the guide channel (5) for limiting the displacement of the fastening elements (6) located in the guide channel (5) in the direction opposite to the setting direction. The locking member (3) has a guide region (9) displaceable through a through-opening (10) formed in a side of the guide rail (1) extending parallel to the setting direction, and into the interior of the guide channel (5) into a locking position in which the guide region (9) formlockingly cooperates with the spaced from each other, stop edges of several fastening elements provided on stems of the elements.

What is claimed is:

1. A delivery device (4) for a setting tool, comprising a guide tube (16); a guide rail (1) projecting from the guide tube (16) substantially transverse thereto and having aguide channel (5) having an upper side open in a direction opposite to a setting direction for receiving fastening elements (6) with two adjacent to each other stop edges (12, 13) spaced from each other in a direction parallel to the setting directionand provided in a stem region of a fastening element; a slide (2) having an entraining shoulder (8) cooperating with the fastening elements (6) for transporting same in a direction toward the guide tube (16); a spring (7) for biasing the slide (2) inthe direction toward the guide tube (16); and a locking member (3) pivotable into an interior of the guide channel (5) for limiting the displacement of the fastening elements (6) located in the guide channel (5) in the direction opposite to the settingdirection, the locking member (3) having a guide region (9) displaceable through a through-opening (10) formed in a side of the guide rail (1) extending parallel to the setting direction, and into the interior of the guide channel (5) into a lockingposition in which the guide region (9) form-lockingly cooperates with the stop edges (12,13) of several fastening elements (6);

wherein the guide region (9) of the locking member (3) is formed as a strip extending parallel to a longitudinal extent of the guide rail (1) and having surfaces cooperating with the stop edges (12, 13) of the fastening elements.

2. A delivery device according to claim 1, wherein the two stop edges (12, 13) of the fastening element (6) are formed by a sleeve-shaped guide member (14) surrounding the stem region (11) of the fastening element (6).

3. A delivery device according to claim 1, wherein the locking member (3) is formed as an elastic member.

4. A delivery device according to claim 1, wherein the locking member (3) has, in a free end region thereof, a spacer (15) supported, in the locking position of the guide region (9), on the side of the guide rail (1) in which the through-opening(10) is formed.

5. A delivery device according to claim 1, wherein the guide channel (5) has at least one stop (20) extending parallel to a longitudinal extent of the guide rail (1) and having a bearing surface (21) facing in a direction opposite to the settingdirection.

6. A delivery device (4) for a setting tool, comprising a guide tube (16); a guide rail (1) projecting from the guide tube (16) substantially transverse thereto and having a guide channel (5) having an upper side open in a direction opposite toa setting direction for receiving fastening elements (6) with two adjacent to each other stop edges (12, 13) spaced from each other in a direction parallel to the setting direction and provided in a stem region of a fastening element; a slide (2) havingan entraining shoulder (8) cooperating with the fastening elements (6) for transporting same in a direction toward the guide tube (16); a spring (7) for biasing the slide (2) in the direction toward the guide tube (16); and a locking member (3)pivotable into an interior of the guide channel (5) for limiting the displacement of the fastening elements (6) located in the guide channel (5) in the direction opposite to the setting direction, the locking member (3) having a guide region (9)displaceable through a through-opening (10) formed in a side of the guide rail (1) extending parallel to the setting direction, and into the interior of the guide channel (5) into a locking position in which the guide region (9) form-lockingly cooperateswith the stop edges (12, 13) of an at least one fastening element (6);

wherein a free end of the locking member (3) has a stop shoulder (17) remote from the guide tube (16) and formlockingly cooperating with a surface (18) of the slide (2) facing toward the guide tube (16) when the slide (2) is located at a free endregion of the guide rail (1) in a loading position, and the guide region (9) of the locking member (3) is in the locking position thereof.

7. A delivery device according to claim 6, wherein the stop shoulder (17) is formed by the tangent-bent free end of the locking member (3).
