Abstract
A fastening system for driving fasteners through fastener caps. The fastening system includes a nail gun, an actuator system and a fastener cap dispenser, all mounted on a rolling chassis. The actuator system includes a wheel and an actuator in communication with the nail gun. As the wheel rotates, it intermittently engages the actuator which in turn fires a nail along a path. Drive air from the nail gun is vented to the fastener cap dispenser, which dispenses a fastener cap. In a preferred embodiment, the dispenser includes a picker including two pairs of movable teeth that engage two sides of two adjacent fastener caps to feed the fastener caps at high speeds. In a more preferred embodiment, the fastening system includes a fastener cap regulator that provides a constant feed of fastener caps to the dispenser, thereby preventing jamming of the same.
