請參閱第六圖至第十圖所示，由圖中可清楚看出，在本創作使用前，滑套組21與觸發套管11受彈性推動件22之彈性力推動，使兩者位於相對遠離之位置，此時，定位梢124會正對於定位孔114，且定位梢124***定 位孔114內，讓觸發件12於觸發套管11內形成定位狀態(參閱第六圖)。當使用者使用本創作時，係將火藥釘4置入於定位件3之容置空間311內(參閱第八圖)，並將定位件3抵靠於牆面5上之待固定件6，如第九圖所示，使用者以手握持滑套組21，並推動滑套組21朝向觸發套管11靠近，而彈性推動件22與彈性復位件23會先受到壓縮，再使作動凸部24推抵觸發裝置1之定位梢124，使定位梢124內縮至觸發套管11內，進而解除觸發件12與觸發套管11之定位狀態，由於彈性推動件22之前已受到壓縮，因此在觸發件12與觸發套管11解除定位狀態後，彈性推動件22即會立刻推動觸發件12位移，使撞針部121露出於觸發套管11，並進入容置空間311內而強力衝撞擊發火藥釘4之火藥41，使火藥釘4發射貫穿待固定件6而定位於牆面5(參閱第十圖)，與之同時，使用者即停止推動滑套組21，而彈性復位件23即會推動觸發套管11遠離滑套組21，以恢復至第六圖所示之使用前的位置，再次使觸發件12於觸發套管11內自動復歸形成定位狀態，藉此方便使用者迅速使用火藥釘擊釘器，且降低使用者於使用火藥釘4時的危險。 Referring to the sixth to tenth drawings, it can be clearly seen from the figure that before the present use, the sliding sleeve group 21 and the trigger sleeve 11 are pushed by the elastic force of the elastic pushing member 22, so that the two are located opposite each other. Far away from the position, at this time, the positioning tip 124 will be facing the positioning hole 114, and the positioning tip 124 is inserted In the position hole 114, the trigger member 12 is brought into a positioning state in the trigger sleeve 11 (refer to the sixth figure). When the user uses the creation, the gunpowder nail 4 is placed in the accommodating space 311 of the positioning member 3 (refer to the eighth figure), and the positioning member 3 is abutted against the fixing member 6 on the wall surface 5, As shown in the ninth figure, the user holds the sliding sleeve group 21 by hand and pushes the sliding sleeve group 21 toward the trigger sleeve 11, and the elastic pushing member 22 and the elastic returning member 23 are first compressed and then actuated. The portion 24 is pushed against the positioning tip 124 of the triggering device 1 to retract the positioning tip 124 into the trigger sleeve 11 to release the positioning state of the triggering member 12 and the trigger sleeve 11. Since the elastic pushing member 22 has been compressed before, After the triggering member 12 and the triggering sleeve 11 are disengaged, the elastic pushing member 22 immediately pushes the triggering member 12 to displace the triggering portion 121, and the striker portion 121 is exposed to the triggering sleeve 11 and enters the accommodating space 311 to strongly strike the gunpowder. The gunpowder 41 of the nail 4 causes the gunpowder nail 4 to be emitted through the to-be-fixed member 6 and positioned on the wall surface 5 (refer to the tenth figure), at the same time, the user stops pushing the sliding sleeve group 21, and the elastic resetting member 23 will Pushing the trigger sleeve 11 away from the sleeve set 21 to return to the use shown in the sixth figure Position, the trigger member 12 again to a trigger sleeve positioned automatically reset state 11 is formed, whereby the convenience of users quickly gunpowder staple strike nails, and reduces the risk of the user using staples 4 gunpowder.
