Embodiment Construction

[0010] With regard to the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art, the presently disclosed design allows fasteners of different diameters to run in the same tray of the installation tool. For this application to work, the outside diameter of the fastener carrier band must remain the same for different fastener diameters and still hold the fastener securely in place. Also, since the installation tool tray uses the diameter surface of the fastener as an additional guide surface, in the case of smaller diameter fasteners used in the same installation tool tray, when using the smaller diameter fastener , accommodation must be made for the outer diameter guide function of larger diameter fasteners.

[0011] Referring to Fig. 1, the illustrated large-diameter bracket band assembly 1 includes: a large-diameter fastener 2, a large-diameter head-end connecting band 4 (break-free strip) composed of several head-end parts 5, and a number of tip parts 7 constitutes a large-diameter ...

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a carrier strip system which includes a plurality of discrete carrier strips (1,10) respectively receptive of fasteners (2,22) of substantially different dimensions said strips having internal features and configured to complementarily engage said fasteners (2,22) , said strips further (1,10) having substantially identical external dimensions such that said plurality of discrete carrier strips are receivable into a single setting tool magazine. Further disclosed herein is a method enabling receipt of different dimension fasteners in a single setting tool magazine constructing discrete carrier strips having substantially identical external dimensions and distinct internal dimensions complementary to respective fasteners having different dimensions; loading said fasteners having said substantially different dimensions into said respective carrier strips having said substantially identical external dimensions and distinct internal dimensions complimentary to said respective fasteners, said external dimensions facilitating receipt of said respective strips in a single setting tool magazine .

Description

Background technique [0001] Fastener installation tools have become commonplace in the construction industry. The ability of a fastener installation tool to fully drive a fastener simply by pulling the trigger is much more efficient than hammering or screwing the fastener. Traditionally, installation tools have required fasteners to be loaded into place on the installation tool one at a time before they can be driven into a workpiece. More recently, installation tools have included trays that are spring loaded with a number of fasteners for automatic loading, the trays greatly increasing speed where large numbers of fasteners are used. Such fastener trays have been enlarged in view of the functionality brought about by the advent of fastener holders in the form of carrier strips. [0002] There are many types of fasteners currently available for use with installation tools. This variety requires the ability to meet the specific needs of the workpieces that are joined togeth...
