Patent ID: 7025241

Claim:
A nail gun attachment device for individually feeding and positioning tin tags relative to a hammer of a nail gun prior to firing a nail from the hammer to secure the tin tag to an underlying host surface; the nail gun attachment device comprising: a plate member movable relative to the hammer of the nail gun in response to an upward force upon urging the plate against the underlying host surface and while forcing the nail gun downwardly towards the host surface including a passage hole formed through the plate in axial alignment below the hammer, wherein the plate is movable relative to the hammer of the nail gun, the passage hole being sized and configured to permit passage of the tin tag disc therethrough with the plane of the tin tag disc perpendicular to the vertical axis of the hammer and the passage hole; wherein the plate member is firmly secured to the nail gun; and at least two magnetic points for holding the tin tag by magnetic attraction in centered axial alignment so that the nail fired from the nail gun is driven through the center of the tin tag, wherein the magnetic points are positioned to the rear of the passage hole and spaced sufficiently apart as to provide equal and sufficient magnetic attraction in order to pull and line up the tin tag in vertical axial alignment directly below the hammer of the nail gun; wherein the magnetic points make contact with the top portion of the tin tag disc thereby holding the tin tag disc over the passage hole by magnetic attraction; and a spacer is sandwiched between each magnet point and the top surface of the plate, the spacers defining a stopper for stopping sliding passage of the tin tag along the top surface of the plate and for positioning the tin tag in centered axial alignment for holding by the magnetic points.
