Abstract:

A molded nail pack for use in an automatic nail gun that has a feeder for delivering nails in sequence into a chamber and a hammer for driving a nail in the chamber into a receiving member. The molded pack includes a plurality of nails that are supported in a spaced apart relationship by a first upper web and second lower web molded integrally with adjacent nails. In a second embodiment of the invention, the nails are connected by a vertically disposed web extending between overlapping heads of adjacent nails in the pack. Each web has a weakened section located so that a nail positioned in the gun chamber separates cleanly from the pack when struck by the gun hammer thereby preventing the gun from becoming jammed.

Abstract:

A high impact strength protective seal for packaging reels of magnetic tape, cinematographic film or the like and for storing them in a suspension type storage cabinet has been developed. The seal is of a single piece design, i. e. , a molded unitary locking mechanism and annular band, as opposed to the more conventional two piece design of sealing rings for tape reels of the prior art. The protective seal is prepared by injection molding the seal flat from a thermoplastic material. The design of the seal and its locking mechanism allows for the seal to be adjustable in order to accommodate variations in the take up on a particular reel or in variations from reel to reel.
