Tyre Mats

   / Tyre Mats #21  
Have you considered turning the fence nails towards each other like a regular staple, have to think of the poor chap running his hand inside, turned in prevents sharp edges inside.

auto feeding can be acheived cutting a slot in the side of the guide tube like a bolt action rifle loading, make a c clamp design the foot against the inside tire, the other loaded end slide where the tightening screw goes, push in and twist making it contact both sides of the tire, now a cylinder moves inside to press the fence clip. Could even use a 22 blank cartridge but do the maths on the chamber.

quarter turn the barrel and slide out, have to draw this one but get the idea

I did a bit more work on this idea today. I designed a simple device to see how the u nail would deform. I drew it in pro engineer and my brother cut it out for me on a cnc plasma. Tomorrow I will adapt it to put a nail through two tyres to see how strong a joint it forms. Thanks to all for your help and suggestions on this so far.

some pics of the real thing. I think the linkage could have been designed more efficiently but it will do as a prototype..

Well, I'm impressed!

I thought it would take a few failed attempts before you perfected it. Apparently I was wrong. That staple is perfect.
