Abstract

A nailer magazine, comprising: a magazine body, having a main axis and a free rear end; a gliding plate, glidingly movable into the magazine body into a mounted position and out of the magazine body through the rear end thereof; a holding plate, attached to the rear end of the magazine body; and a blocking system, attached to the rear end of the gliding plate for holding the gliding plate in the mounted position. The blocking system further comprises: a main body; a gliding element; a spring; and a blocking element. The gliding element is glidingly movable inside the main body in a direction perpendicular to the main axis, having an externally accessible upper end to be pushed manually into the main body. The spring is laid into the main body, pushing the gliding element towards the upper end thereof. The blocking part is connected to the gliding element and extends out of the main body for engaging with the holding plate when the gliding plate is in the mounted position, so as to fix the gliding plate therein.
