Patent ID: 7344057

Claim:
A nailer comprising: a main body; an elongated nail ejection channel in said main body for receiving a nail to be ejected and including a nail outlet leading out of said main body; a plunger carried within and movable along said nail ejection channel; an actuator capable of moving said plunger along an ejection axis in said nail ejection channel for selectively ejecting the nail out through said nail outlet; a first guide member carried by and movable relative to said main body, for engaging a first reference surface outboard of said nailer; and a first adjuster mechanism capable of adjusting the position of said first guide member relative to said main body; wherein the position of said nail ejection channel can be adjusted relative to the first reference surface with said first adjuster mechanism when said nailer engages the first reference surface with said first guide member; said main body defining opposite upper and lower ends with said nail outlet being located at said lower end, said first guide member comprising a sole carried by said main body at said lower end thereof, said sole defining a substantially flat sole bearing surface oriented away from said main body for resting on the first reference surface and a sole attachment surface opposite said sole bearing surface, with said sole attachment surface movably attached to said main body; wherein said first adjuster mechanism comprises a first lug and track member attached to said main body and a corresponding second lug and track member attached to said sole and operative on said sole attachment surface thereof, said first and second lug and track members being complementary and slidably interconnected and thus allowing a translational displacement of said main body relative to said sole, said first adjuster mechanism further comprising a control member to control the position of said sole relative to said main body.
