A lighted push pin is provided that is a relatively low cost device which will perform all of the traditional functions of push pins while providing a superior capability to draw attention to specific items or highlight specific information through the use of illumination. Illumination is provided by an on-board battery that powers a light generating device such as a light bulb or light emitting diode. Another embodiment of the invention utilizes a chemical light source. Thus, the invention has eliminated any need for electrified boards or external sources of power.

A fastener assembly for use in an associated fastener driving tool for driving a fastener from the assembly, in sequential order, into an associated substrate, includes a row of fasteners arranged substantially parallel to each other, each fastener having a shank and defining an axis and a collation system formed from a plastic material that is molded onto and adhered to the fasteners. The plastic material defines a collar portion at least substantially encircling the fastener shank and a connecting portion extending between and connecting adjacent collar portions. When the fastener is driven from the driving tool, the collar portion remains adhered to the fastener such that the collar portion penetrates the substrate with the fastener, and the connecting portion includes a preferentially weakened region to influence separation of the connecting portion from the collar at a desired location.

A fastener is configured for securing a lath to a surface for, for example, the application of stucco to the surface. The fastener includes a fastener having a head, a shank and a penetrating tip. The head has a diameter and the shank has a diameter less than the head diameter. The stucco fastener has a sealing/spacer assembly having spacer element and a sealing element. The spacer element is formed from a relatively incompressible material and has a diameter greater than the shank diameter. The spacer element has a bore therein having a diameter about equal to the shank diameter. The sealing element is formed from a resilient, water-resistant material and is positioned adjacent to and in contact with the spacer element. When the fastener is driven into the surface, the fastener penetrates the surface to secure the fastener to the surface and a portion of the lath is captured between the head of the fastener and the spacer element to space the lath from the surface. The sealing element contacts the surface to form a seal at the fastener penetration to prevent the incursion of liquid into the surface around the fastener penetration, and the sealing element, as least in part, conforms to the surface between the surface and the spacer element.

A fastener assembly is configured for use in an associated fastener driving tool for driving a fastener from the assembly into an associated substrate. The assembly includes a row of fasteners, each having a shank, arranged substantially parallel to each other. A collation system is formed from a plastic material that is molded onto and adhered to the fasteners. The plastic material is molded to define a collar portion substantially encircling the fastener shank and a connecting portion extending between and connecting adjacent collar potions. The plastic material is formulated from an adhesive polymer. When the fastener is driven from the driving tool, the collar portion remains adhered to the fastener such that the collar portion penetrates the substrate with the fastener.

The present invention pertains to an assemblage of sealing nail essentially containing a nail, a propeller, and a blocker that is partially extended beyond the propeller. Wherein, the nail would sequentially penetrate the propeller, the blocker, and then a plank. By means of the nail entering the plank, the propeller and the blocker would be simultaneously urged to densely cover up where the nail inserted. Therefore, a preferred sealing efficiency between the nail and the plank is achieved to guarantee a favorable grouting on the plank.

A nail having an offset head is configured with a multi-step support gusset formed integrally between an undersurface of the offset head and a superior portion of a shank. The head of the nail is relatively thin, and the shank is positioned radially off center of the head. A first portion of the gusset defines an angle relative to the shank axis and the second portion of the gusset defines an angle relative to the shank axis different from that of the first portion. The support gusset reinforces the junction of the shank with the head, supports the toe of the head, and distributes the force of a load on the head through a longitudinal axis of the shank, preventing the toe from bending or yielding and prevents the shank from yielding to the stresses of the load applied.

A. video. signal processing apparatus, comprises: a display unit; an user interface (UI) generating unit that generates a UI including a channel information array in which a plurality of channel informations are arranged to be displayed to the display unit; a user inputting unit that receives a first moving instruction and a second moving instruction for moving the channel information array, the second moving instruction including a position information about moving of the channel information array; and a control unit that controls the UI generating unit so that the channel informations arranged in the channel information array can move one by one if the first moving instruction is received, and the channel informations arranged in the channel information array can move in an manner that corresponds to the position information if the second moving instruction is received.

A fastener that includes a head portion and a body and is configured to be driven into material. The body is configured for engaging the material and the head portion is constructed to be engaged by a driver of a power nailer. A color coating is applied to a face of the head portion for visually locating fasteners engaged with the material

A nail comprises a plurality of umbrella-shaped threads spirally formed on the shank and extended from the nail end to the head, wherein the umbrella-shaped thread includes a top face and an end edge face, in which the outer diameter of the top face is greater than the outer diameter of the end edge face, such that the nail can be nailed into a planking easily and successfully without the obstacle of the umbrella-shaped threads. While pulling out the nail, an actuating tool is used directly to rotate back the nail, so as to prevent from damaging the surface of the planking and efficiently save the time and labor.

The invention provides a pin with a regular reminding function, which comprises a pinpoint part and a pin body part, wherein the pinpoint part is fixedly arranged on one end surface of the pin body part; a light source and a power source are arranged in a cavity in the pin body part; a timer is arranged on the other end surface of the pin body part; and a switch for the timer is arranged between the light source and an electric connection passage of the power source. The pin provided by the invention has the benefit of simple structure, has functions of reminding according to the priority and time setting, and is strong in applicability.
