Title: Nail-belt for nail gun

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to nail-belt for nail gun and more particularly, to such a nail-belt, which avoids biasing of the nail that is been driven into the workpiece. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     A conventional nail-belt  1  for use in a nail gun to feed nails  2 , as shown in  FIG. 1 , generally comprises a plurality of nail sockets  3  for holding nails  2  individually, and a link  4  transversely connected between each two adjacent nail sockets  3  on the middle. Because only one thin link  4  is connected between each two adjacent sockets  3 , the nail  2  may be biased with the respective nail socket  3  when it is being driven into the workpiece. 
     Therefore, it is desirable to provide a nail-belt that eliminates the aforesaid problem. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is therefore the main object of the present to provide a nail-belt, which facilitates nailing operation, avoiding biasing of the nail being nailed into the workpiece. 
     To achieve this and other objects of the present invention, a nail-belt for use in a nail gun to feed nails comprises a plurality of nail sockets for holding nails individually and links joining the nail sockets. Each nail socket comprises a top ring, a bottom ring and a flat connection portion vertically connected between the top ring and the bottom ring. The links are respectively transversely connected between the top rings of each two adjacent nail sockets and the bottom rings of each two adjacent nail sockets.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     Referring to  FIGS. 2˜4 , a nail-belt  1  for use in a nail gun to feed nails in accordance with the present invention is shown comprises a plurality of nail sockets  3  for holding nails  2  individually, and a plurality of links  4  respectively formed integral with and connected between each two adjacent nail sockets  3  to hold the nail sockets  3  in a parallel manner. 
     Each nail socket  3  comprises a top ring  31 , a bottom ring  32  and a flat connection portion  30  vertically connected between the top ring  31  and the bottom ring  32 . The links  4  are respectively transversely connected between the top rings  31  of each two adjacent nail sockets  3  and the bottom rings  32  of each two adjacent nail sockets  3 . 
     When in use, nails  2  are respectively inserted through the top ring  31  and bottom ring  32  of each of the nail sockets  3  of the nail-belt  1 , and then the nail-belt  1  is loaded in the nail magazine of a nail gun (not shown). Because the size of the nail-belt  1  is same as an equivalent conventional design, the nail-belt  1  can be used in a conventional nail gun directly. Further, because two links  4  are connected between each two adjacent nail sockets  3  at different elevations, the top ring  31  and bottom ring  32  of each nail socket  3  will not be biased during a nail-driving operation so that the nail  2  can be driven out of the respective nail socket  3  into the workpiece accurately 
     Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
