Abstract

A U-nut type fastener installation tool, for installing individual U-nut fasteners from a vertically stacked,nested, or collated strip or array of such fasteners disposed within a magazine portion of the tool, comprises a base portion and the magazine portion which is pivotally mounted upon the base portion. The magazine portion also serves as an operator handle. A biasing spring within the magazine biases the collated strip of fasteners toward a dispensing position. When a fastener is to be dispensed and mounted upon an edge portion of a support plate or panel, the magazine-handle is tilted from its normal position by means of which movement a lowermost one of the fasteners is separated from the collated strip of fasteners remaining within the tool magazine. The tool is also substantially simultaneously moved toward the edge portion of the support panel or plate through means of a compound movement or motion whereby the lowermost fastener is able to be mounted upon the edge portion of the support plate or panel.
