A staple or nail gun assembly includes a staple or nail gun, a cap feeding
device and a cap having a peripheral rim disposed on its underside, a
marginal edge on its upper side adjacent a central portion having the
shape of a truncated cone. The staple or nail gun and the cap feeding
device are generally disposed at opposite ends of the handle of the
staple or nail gun. The cap feeding device includes a base, a cap
container and a shuttle, and feeds caps sequentially as they are affixed
by the gun. The caps are coaxially stacked by means of a coaxial plastic
cord or wire with retaining means at the respective ends or in a tubular
container with a flanged end. The caps may also be stacked on a rod or
held together by melting.
