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 1):
An adaptor for mounting on a powered nail gun having a discharge tip to facilitate the use of the nail gun to install siding panels onto an exterior surface of a building structure, each siding panel having an upper lip structure and upper connective structure along an upper edge and a lower connective structure along a lower edge configured to interengage with the upper connective structure of an adjacent siding panel, comprising:\n a body member having an upper surface, a lower surface and a perpendicular side wall defining a perimeter of said body, said body having a front portion and a rear portion; 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 projection extending below said lower surface and defining a discharge opening for said adaptor, said discharge opening being in alignment with said discharge tip of said nail gun to permit the passage of nail discharged from the nail gun to pass through the body portion, said projection being sized to engage said upper lip of said siding panel to position the discharged nail into said siding panel.
