See full text

A cap feeder for a fastener gun. The gun includes a footplate, a fastener magazine holding a supply of fasteners such as staples, a nose, an upright cap magazine for holding a stacked assembly of caps, a cap pusher mounted for reciprocation with respect to the footplate, and a pneumatic-powered driver for driving a fastener from the nose, through the cap while the cap is in a fastening position beneath the nose, and into a workpiece. The cap magazine is mounted proximate the nose. The cap feeder includes a reciprocator for moving the cap pusher. The cap feeder includes a grip finger mounted to the cap pusher and extending beyond a cap-engaging portion of the cap pusher. The grip finger extends under an edge of the cap and engages the underside of the cap. The reciprocator preferably includes a piston pneumatically coupled to a piston of the driver.
