  "abstract": "The present invention is directed to a nail gun outrigger for stabilizing the roll, pitch, and yaw of a nail gun. The outrigger is connected to the distal end of the magazine away from the driving head. For the preferred embodiment, the outrigger includes one or more outriggers that extend perpendicular to the axis of the magazine with feet contacting the nailing surface to control the pitch, roll, and yaw of the nail gun position to obtain consistent perpendicular installation of elastomer sealing pneumatic nails into preformed roofing panels installed on a wooden frame or substrate.",
  "claims": [
    "1. An outrigger stabilizing foot apparatus for a nail gun, the apparatus comprising: an integrated slide rail magazine including a magazine body defining a fastener aperture and a bottom; a slide rail with at least on rail extension extending from the magazine body; and a magazine sliding block including upper magazine sliding arms defining a slide rail aperture which captures the slide rail, the magazine sliding arms extending upward past the bottom to opposite sides of the fastener aperture; and a first slide engagement finger, a second slide engagement finger positioned above the first slide engagement finger, and a third slide engagement finger positioned above the second slide engagement finger along the magazine sliding arms.",
    "2. An outrigger stabilizing foot apparatus for a nail gun, the apparatus comprising: an integrated slide rail magazine including a magazine body defining a fastener aperture and a bottom; a slide rail with at least one rail extension extending from the magazine body; and a magazine sliding block including upper magazine sliding arms defining a slide rail aperture which captures the slide rail, the magazine sliding arms extending upward past the bottom to opposite sides of the fastener aperture; cross bolt apertures defined by the upper magazine sliding arms; and a cross arm locking bolt and nut engaging the cross bolt apertures.",
    "3. An outrigger stabilizing foot apparatus for a nail gun, the apparatus comprising: an integrated slide rail magazine including a magazine body defining a fastener aperture and a bottom; a slide rail with at least one rail extension extending from the magazine body; and a magazine sliding block including upper magazine sliding arms defining a slide rail aperture which captures the slide rail, the magazine sliding arms extending upward past the bottom to opposite sides of the fastener aperture; an outrigger extension bar including an elongated adjustment aperture; an adjustable outrigger foot; and wherein the outrigger extension bar includes an outrigger stabilizing foot defining a threaded foot aperture.",
    "4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the adjustable outrigger foot further comprising a non-marring contact foot.",
    "5. The apparatus of claim 3, further comprising: a height adjustment mechanism including a threaded foot bolt and a foot locking nut."
