            Application No. 09/943,293                                                                        


                   Chen's invention relates to a nail driving gun, more particularly to a barrel unit         
            with a removable cover plate for a nail driving gun.  Referring to Figure 5, the preferred        
            embodiment of a barrel unit according to Chen's invention is shown to be installed on a           
            front end of a nail driving gun 30 and includes an elongated base plate 40 and an                 
            elongated cover plate 50 to be superimposed on the base plate 40.  The base plate 40              
            extends forwardly from the housing of the nail driving gun 10 and has a top side formed           
            with a longitudinal discharge groove 400, a pair of upwardly extending positioning lugs           
            41 which are disposed respectively on opposite sides of the discharge groove 400 and              
            which are located at a rear portion of the base plate 40, and a pair of upwardly                  
            extending hooking lugs 42 which are disposed respectively on opposite sides of the                
            discharge groove 400 and which are located at a front portion of the base plate 40.               
            Each of the positioning lugs 41 has a rearwardly inclining rear end surface 411.                  


                   Chen's cover plate 50 is formed with a pair of first slots 51 and a pair of second         
            slots 52 which permit extension of a respective one of the positioning lugs 41 and the            
            hooking lugs 42 therethrough.  Preferably, the first and second slots 51, 52 are slightly         
            longer than the respective one of the positioning lugs 41 and the hooking lugs 42.  Each          
            of the first slots 51 has a rearwardly inclining end wall surface 511 which abuts against         
            the rear end surface 411 of the respective one of the positioning lugs 41 when the                
            cover plate 50 is superimposed on the base plate 40.  An operating lever 53 is mounted
