Device to connect timber parts via nailed connection plates consists of horizontally moveable table with part alignment elements, and drive unit to drive-in nailed plates

摘要

The connection plates have downward projecting nails (21) and are separated from a continuous plate length (7,17). The timber parts are placed on a table (41) in the desired arrangement. The table is horizontally moveable between a position outside a drive unit for placing the parts, and a position below the drive unit to move the nail plate downwards so that the nails penetrate into the timber parts. The table has elements to align the timber parts in a set pattern.
