Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9413167A1] A fastener attaching tool (51, 101) and fastener clip (11, 131) for use therewith. The fastener clip (11, 131) includes a plurality of fasteners (13, 133) which may be used, for example, in attaching a button to a garment or a piece of fabric, each fastener (13, 133) comprising a filament having a foot (17-1, 137) at one end. The fastener clip (11, 131) also comprises at least one runner bar (19-1, 141), each fastener (13, 133) being connected to the runner bar (19-1, 141) by a severable connector post (23-1, 143). The fastener attaching tool (51, 101) includes a pair of needles (57-1, 57-2). Each needle (57-1, 57-2) has a knife edge formed on its side which is adapted to sever a connector post (23-1, 143) from its associated runner bar (19-1, 141). The fastener attaching tool (51, 101) also includes an ejector mechanism (61) which is slidably mounted back and forth within the body of the fastener attaching tool (51-101) and is rearwardly biased by a spring (59). The ejector mechanism is manually operable from the rear of the body of the fastener attaching tool (51-101) and includes a pair of ejector rods (93-1, 93-2) which are slidable back and forth within the bores of the needles (57-1, 57-2).
