Abstract:
An adaptor is mounted on the tip of a nail gun normally used to attach roofing materials on the roof of a building to enable the nail gun also to be effective in attaching vinyl siding onto the exterior of a building structure. The adapter is mounted on the tip of the nail gun to engage nails discharged therefrom. The adaptor is formed with a circular projection that has a frusto-conical opening therethrough to guide discharged nails into engagement with the connective structure along the top edge of the siding panel. The circular projection has a depth that properly positions the discharge opening of the adaptor at the proper location for engagement with the siding connective structure. The conical shape of the opening through the adaptor is operable to deflect any misaligned nails being discharged from the nail gun into the discharge opening at the tip of the circular projection.

Claim (Index 5):
An adaptor for detachably mounting on a discharge tip of a powered nail gun, said adaptor being operable to facilitate the use of the powered nail gun to install siding panels onto a building structure, each siding panel having an upper lip structure, comprising:\n a body member having an upper surface, a lower surface and a side wall perpendicular to said lower surface and defining a perimeter of said body; said body member being formed with a shaped recess into the upper surface, said recess having a floor and being shaped to conform to the discharge tip of said nail gun to permit said body member to be mounted onto said discharge tip with said discharge tip being positioned adjacent said floor of said recess; and a discharge opening extending through said floor of said recess and through said bottom surface, said discharge opening being in alignment with said discharge tip of said nail gun to permit the passage of nails discharged from said nail gun through said adaptor, said discharge opening being configured in a frusto-conical shape with a larger diameter being located at said floor to direct nails discharged from said nail gun through a distal smaller diameter portion of said discharge opening.
