METHOD OF AND PYRITES FOR DISPENSING FASTENERS
The present invention relates to the art of applying or dispensing fasteners.
A wide variety of methods and apparatus for applying fasteners have hitherto been proposed. Of these, it is known that So patent No. 3,103,666, US. patent No. 3,650,451 and US. patent No. 3~9~4/788 are typical of patents showing such apparatus.
All of these apparatus employ a gear mechanism as means for feeding fasteners.
It is to be noted that a fastener assembly is generally constructed in a manner such that a multi plicity of fasteners are connected via connecting pieces to a common connecting rod in the form of the teeth of a comb.
Such fastener is also referred to as a tag pin.
Each fastener has a head section at one end of a filament section and a cross bar section at the other end thereof.
It is also to be noted that the fastener azalea is integrally formed of a synthetic resin such as nylon or the like.
Normally, the head section of the fastener is approximately 1.0 mm in thickness, 10 mm in length and I
~3~3 3.5 mm in width, whereas the cross bar section is approximately 1.0 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length.
The length of the filament section ranges from 7.0 mm to 125 mm, although it may vary depending upon usage Thirty-five to 100 fasteners are connected, at 1.2 mm to 2.0 mm intervals, via connecting pieces to a common connecting rod in the form of the teeth of a comb.
Accordingly, the fasteners are likely to be entangled with each other. In addition, the fastener assembly per so is bulky. Hence, there is a disadvantage that various difficulties are encountered in the course of packing or using them.
In order to eliminate the foregoing disadvantage J there is proposed a closely interconnected fastener assembly in which cross bar sections of adjacent fasteners are arranged in slightly spaced relation to each other or a contact fastener assembly in which substantially no space is left between the cross bar sections of the fasteners. (See US. patent No.
4,417,656) For example, such contact fastener assembly is remarkably compact as compared with a conventional fastener assembly in which the fasteners are sparsely arranged, the length of which is two thirds to one half of that of a conventional fastener assembly on condition that the number of the fasteners is the same there between.
As mentioned above, since the distance between the adjacent fasteners is remarkably shortened in the closely interconnected fastener assembly or the fasteners are in contact with each other in the contact fastener assembly, the distance between the adjacent connecting pieces presented between corresponding fasteners and connecting rod is narrower than the pitch of the teeth of the gear in a feed means provided in a conventional fastener dispensing or tag attaching apparatus.
Accordingly, such feed means in conventional fastener applying apparatus is incapable of feeding the fastener assembly.
It should be mentioned that the construction of the closely interconnected fastener assembly or contact fastener assembly is such that the cross bar sections of the adjacent fasteners are directly connected with each other, thereby avoiding the connecting rod and connecting pieces for connecting this connecting rod with the cross bar sections of the fasteners.
The fastener dispensing apparatus of the present invention is directed to the latter, namely, the contact fastener assembly.

It is to be noted that a fastener assembly is generally constructed in a manner such that a multi plicity of fasteners are connected via connecting pieces to a common connecting rod in the form of the teeth of a comb.
Such fastener is also referred to as a tag pin.
Each fastener has a head section at one end of a filament section and a cross bar section at the other end thereof.

Accordingly, the fasteners are likely to be entangled with each other. In addition, the fastener assembly per so is bulky. Hence, there is a disadvantage that various difficulties are encountered in the course of packing or using them.
In order to eliminate the foregoing disadvantage J there is proposed a closely interconnected fastener assembly in which cross bar sections of adjacent fasteners are arranged in slightly spaced relation to each other or a contact fastener assembly in which substantially no space is left between the cross bar sections of the fasteners. (See US. patent No.
4,417,656) For example, such contact fastener assembly is remarkably compact as compared with a conventional fastener assembly in which the fasteners are sparsely arranged, the length of which is two thirds to one half of that of a conventional fastener assembly on condition that the number of the fasteners is the same there between.
As mentioned above, since the distance between the adjacent fasteners is remarkably shortened in the closely interconnected fastener assembly or the fasteners are in contact with each other in the contact fastener assembly, the distance between the adjacent connecting pieces presented between corresponding fasteners and connecting rod is narrower than the pitch of the teeth of the gear in a feed means provided in a conventional fastener dispensing or tag attaching apparatus.
Accordingly, such feed means in conventional fastener applying apparatus is incapable of feeding the fastener assembly.
It should be mentioned that the construction of the closely interconnected fastener assembly or contact fastener assembly is such that the cross bar sections of the adjacent fasteners are directly connected with each other, thereby avoiding the connecting rod and connecting pieces for connecting this connecting rod with the cross bar sections of the fasteners.
The fastener dispensing apparatus of the present invention is directed to the latter, namely, the contact fastener assembly.
2 3 It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of and apparatus for dispensing fasteners which can sever a fastener from the remainder of a closely interconnected fastener assembly in which the distance between cross bar sections of adjacent fasteners is extremely narrow or a contact fastener assembly and dispense the fasteners.
That is, in accordance with the present invention, a method of applying fasteners to articles by passing each fastener severed from a fastener assembly through a hollow needle comprises the steps of advancing the fastener in its longitudinal direction so as to sever the same from the fastener assembly and of subsequently advancing the fastener in the same direction so as to position the cross bar section of the fastener on the axis of the hollow needle Also, in accordance with the present invention, apparatus for applying fasteners to articles by passing each fastener severed from a fastener assembly through a hollow needle comprises an alignment passage in which the fastener assembly is loaded, a guide slot provided at the uppermost end of said alignment passage, means for feeding the fastener to be placed at the uppermost end of the fastener assembly to said guide slot and a ~32 force rod adapted to forcibly introduce the cross bar section of the fastener into a cross bar section guide passage positioned on the axis of the hollow needle by advancing the fastener placed at the uppermost end of the fastener assembly in its longitudinal direction.
In accordance with the present invention as broadly stated above, fasteners are securely severed and applied one by one from a closely interconnected fastener assembly in which the cross bar sections of adjacent fasteners are closely interconnected, or a contact fastener assembly in which the cross bar sections of fasteners are in contact with each other.
Further, as a blade portion of a feed blade is adapted to be inserted between a cross bar section placed at the uppermost end of the fastener and the next successive cross bar section thereof, it does not take place that two or more fasteners become inserted into the guide slot.
Still further, principal components of the fastener applying apparatus in accordance with the pro-sent invention are in the form of a rod and neither gear nor a complicated mechanism for driving the same is employed therein, unlike a conventional apparatus. The internal construction of the fastener applying apparatus in accordance with the present invention is, thus, simple.
