| 227015000 | WITH MEANS TO POSITION "MATING-MEMBER" IN ALIGNMENT WITH DRIVER | 11 |
| 20100078460 | Probe Bar Hole Driver and Remover - A slide hammer for driving a probe into the ground includes a probe lifting and removal arrangement in which a slide hammer tube is pivoted away from the probe to function as a lever operating with a clutch arrangement to incrementally withdraw the probe from the ground. A biasing arrangement using a coil spring is operative to hold the anvil in a locked probe driving position, to facilitate release of the tube from the locking position for pivotal movement to the probe removal position, to bias a clutch disk to a release position with respect to the pin, to facilitate incremental lifting contact between the clutch disk and the pin, and to return the tube to a subsequent incremental lifting position. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20110114693 | BUTTON PLIERS WITH IMPROVED RETAINING SEATS - A pair of button pliers with improved retaining seats is disclosed. When the jaw members of the pliers are brought together with retaining seats carrying a male button element and a female button element retained thereon, respectively, the retaining seats help the male button element and the female button element to firmly combine as a whole button. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20130075442 | SNAP INSTALLATION TOOL ADAPTOR - The present invention includes a snap installation adaptor designed to be united with a handheld tool so that the union can permanently affix snaps onto fabric. The snap installation adaptor includes an upper portion with a cap node; a lower portion with a socket node; an intermediate portion connecting the upper and lower portions; and means for transferring external downward force from the handheld tool through the upper portion so that the cap node is forced to meet the socket node, thus permanently affixing a snap onto a piece of fabric between the upper and lower portions. | 03-28-2013 |

| 227016000 | Strip-type "mating-member" | 2 |
| 20080302847 | Subsidiary vent channel of a nailing gun - The invention related to a subsidiary vent channel of a nailing gun having a subsidiary vent hole at an internal plug of a rear cap. A subsidiary vent channel is disposed at a corresponding place of a rear cap. In this way, the compressed gas from the outside can be simultaneously injected into a nail-feeding air chamber of the gun body and the subsidiary vent channel. The gas injected into the nail-feeding air chamber serves for nailing. The gas injected into the subsidiary vent channel is available for different purposes. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090050664 | Coilable fastener cap strip without a central core - A strip of fastener caps made up of a plurality of disks including an inner coil disk and an end disk. Each disk has a circumferential edge with a breakable yet flexible member that is integral with each adjacent disk edge. A common centerline passes edgewise through each of the disks. The location of a first and second predetermined number of the breakable members alternates from one side of the common centerline to the other. A notch within the circumferential edge of the inner coil disk is for engaging at least one breakable member connecting other disks within the strip of fastener caps. A section of the plurality of disks is coiled into an inner loop such that the inner coil disk's notch engages a breakable member between other disks wherein the inner coil disk is immobile relative to the disks making up the inner disk loop. The alternating pattern of breakable members allows for interlacing the breakable members and overlapping the disks at the end of the coil including the end disk such that tension is maintained on the coiled cap strip. The interlacing of the breakable members at the cap strips end eliminates the need for a core and external means such as tape, rubber bands and/or adhesive to maintain the coil of the cap strip. | 02-26-2009 |
| 227018000 | Comprising feed means for "mating-member" | 5 |
| 20090032565 | TIN TAG DISPENSING AND NAILING TOOL - An improved tin tag dispensing and nailing tool includes an operating member that is adapted for connection with a roofer's nailing gun, which operating member is guided by a pair of spaced vertical guide rods for vertical sliding displacement relative to the tool housing between an upper retracted position and a lower nailing position. The operating member is formed from a synthetic plastic material and contains vertical through bores that respectively receive the guide rods. Tubular oil-impregnated bushings are mounted in the through bores concentrically about the guide rods. A linkage arrangement connects the operating member with a shuttle plate that is displaced between a loading position adjacent the tin tag supply station and a discharging position adjacent the tin tag nailing station. An integral punched-out tongue portion extends upwardly at an acute angle from the shuttle plate for engagement with the lowermost tin tag of a stack. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20110095065 | Mount and feed guide apparatus and methods for selectively directing a supply of material to a fastener driver head - Apparatus and methods are disclosed for selectively orienting material from a coiled supply relative to a fastener driver utilized to secure the material at a work surface. The apparatus includes a mount body having structures adapted to receive and secure the driver and the coiled material supply in a substantially fixed relationship to one another, a material feed orientation arm receiving material fed from the supply and providing the material at an outflow locator adjacent to the drive head of the driver and the work surface when the apparatus is assembled and in use. A pivot stud is affixable to the fastener driver over its drive head and is receivable through openings in the mount body and feed orientation arm so that the outflow locator is pivotable about the drive head to selectively change direction of material feed presentation relative to the drive head. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20130256364 | FASTENER DRIVER HAVING WASHER FEEDING DEVICE - A fastener driver includes a driver body member having a cassette for accommodating staples, and a washer carrying device having a housing attached to the driver body member, and the housing includes a chamber for receiving washers, a mouth piece attached to the housing and having an opening formed in the mouth piece and aligned with the nose portion of the driver body member for selectively receiving the washers, and a pushing device slidably attached to the housing for moving the washers toward the mouth piece and the nose section of the fastener driver and for allowing the washers to be suitably engaged with the nails or fasteners that are hammered or driven by the ejector. | 10-03-2013 |
| 20140021236 | Installation Tool for Universal Fastener - A tool for installation of a concealed fastener which may be formed in situ during attachment of a first grooved sheathing member to an underlying support member. The tool has a barrel for holding a fixing member axially and a feeding mechanism for holding and advancing cross members and maintaining a cross member aligned with the fixing member in the barrel. The tool allows insertion of a front end of the cross member into a plank groove whereupon a fixing member may be driven from the barrel through the cross member and partially into a support, thereby securing the plank to the support. The feeding mechanism thereafter advances an uninstalled cross member to the forward position aligned with a fixing member. | 01-23-2014 |
| 20140138422 | Device For Applying Fastening Means - A device for applying fasteners having one almost flat head having a central pass through hole, two opposed sides having protrusions approximately perpendicular to the head forming shoulders, has a first nail magazine for locking a fastener. A shooting device shoots a nail through the fastener central hole. A second magazine has a slide guide housing a set of fasteners, with tongues oriented in a forward sliding direction, the shoulders oriented towards an outlet. The outlet has jaws hinged to rotation pins, perpendicular to the sliding direction. Front portions of the jaws fully protrude from the second magazine, each jaw having teeth having a shoulder shape to match a shoulder shape of a fastener interposed between the jaws. The teeth elastically and detachably hold the fasteners in an aligned position with the pass through hole and with the shooting direction of the shooting device. | 05-22-2014 |
