DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
~ i Referring now to thé drawings and firstly FIGS. 3 and `:: 4, there is schematically shown an apparatus 10 for applying : a hook component H of a fastener onto a stacks waistband W. ;
:~;: The apparatus 10 comprises a pedestal 11, a backing plate retainer means 12 and a crank arm 13 having one of its ends ~ , `, 203~7~3 , pivotally connected by pin 14 to the pedestal 11 and the opposite end fixedly connected to one end of the retainer means 12. The apparatus 10 further includes a punch 15 and a die 16, the punch 15 being vertically movable to clamp and anchor the hook component H together with a backing plate B
in the textile materlal of the waistband W in a manner well known in the art as depicted in FIG. 4. :~
The retainer means 12 embodying the invention for use ~;
in applying the hook component H, as shown in FIG. 1, is in the form of an elongated rectangular retainer plate 17 :
having a connecting end portion 12a connected to the crank arm 13 and a free end portion 12b adapted to be inserted into an opening or pocket 18 (FIG. 7) formed between the waistband W and an underlying fly strip F of slacks S.
The retainer plate 17 has both of its opposite longitudinal edges 12c, 12c recessed or offset as at 12d, 12d from the side surfaces of the connecting end portion 12a and inwardly canted at the free end portion 12b to provide tapered corners 12e, 12e which serve to facilitate the i insertion of the retainer means 12 into the pocket 18 of the : :
~waistband W. Although the longitudinal edges 12c, 12c of the retainer plate 17 are thus shown preferably to be recessed or offset, they may be coextensive with respective ~:
longitudinal edges of the connecting end portion 12a. ~:
The retainer plate 17 is provided in its upper surface with a receiving recess or cavity 12f for temporarily :
accommodating a backing plate B (Fig. 2) until it is clamped , :
;i~
~ ~03Z7~
together with the hook component H by the unit of punch and die 16.
According to an important aspect of the invention, there is provided an adapter strip 19 preferably made of a metallic material and dimensioned to fit with and along either of the longitudinal edges 12c, 12c and having a predetérmined width. For the retainer means 12 designed for applying the hook component H, a pair of adapter strips 19, 19 are preferably provided for attachment as better shown in FIG. 1. Each adapter strip 19 has a tapered end l9a canted at an angle to register in alignment with the tapered corner 12e of the retainer plate 17 when assembled as shown in FIG.
3.
In order to facilitate attachment of the adapter strip 19 to the retainer plate 17, there are provided a plurality of magnetic members 20 which are embedded to lie substantially flush with the contour of the longitudinal edge 12c of the retainer plate 17 and which are adapted to attract and hold the adapter strip 19 in place with respect to the retainer plate 17.
A plurality of positioning prongs 21 extend laterally from the longitudinal edges I2c of the retainer plate 17 and : I . , are engageable with corresponding recesses l9b in the adapter strip 19, the arrangement being to ensure proper alignment between the retainer plate 17 and the adapter " strip 19.
Reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, there is shown an :
'' "! ~03~7~
...
apparatus 10' for applying an eye component E of a fastener onto a stacks waistband W. A backing plate retainer means 12' is supported for both rotary and linear movement with ;
respect to the unit of punch 15 and die 16 as shown in FIG.
6.
The retainer means 12' is in the form of a generally rectangular retainer plate 17' having a receiving recess or cavity 12f' for temporarily accommodating a backing plate B' until it is clamped together with the eye E. Similarly to the retainer means 12 for applying the hook component H, the retainer plate 17' has magnetic members 20' and prongs 21' provided along one of its longitudinal edges 12c' and is ~`~ engageable with an adapter strip 19' for the purpose already described. `

` The waistband W is brought into working position with respect to the apparatus 10' by fitting the same sidewise -through its opening 18' over the retainer means 12'.
Advantageously, there may be stored a suitable number of adapter strips 19, 19' having different widths which may be chosen at will to match any given widths of waistbands W
and easily attached to the retainer plate 17, 17' for ~-applying hook and/or eye components of a fastener accurately ~
. j and efficiently onto the waistbands W.
Obviously, various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teaching. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced ~ `~

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
~ i Referring now to thé drawings and firstly FIGS. 3 and `:: 4, there is schematically shown an apparatus 10 for applying : a hook component H of a fastener onto a stacks waistband W. ;
:~;: The apparatus 10 comprises a pedestal 11, a backing plate retainer means 12 and a crank arm 13 having one of its ends ~ , `, 203~7~3 , pivotally connected by pin 14 to the pedestal 11 and the opposite end fixedly connected to one end of the retainer means 12. The apparatus 10 further includes a punch 15 and a die 16, the punch 15 being vertically movable to clamp and anchor the hook component H together with a backing plate B
in the textile materlal of the waistband W in a manner well known in the art as depicted in FIG. 4. :~
The retainer means 12 embodying the invention for use ~;
in applying the hook component H, as shown in FIG. 1, is in the form of an elongated rectangular retainer plate 17 :
having a connecting end portion 12a connected to the crank arm 13 and a free end portion 12b adapted to be inserted into an opening or pocket 18 (FIG. 7) formed between the waistband W and an underlying fly strip F of slacks S.
The retainer plate 17 has both of its opposite longitudinal edges 12c, 12c recessed or offset as at 12d, 12d from the side surfaces of the connecting end portion 12a and inwardly canted at the free end portion 12b to provide tapered corners 12e, 12e which serve to facilitate the i insertion of the retainer means 12 into the pocket 18 of the : :
~waistband W. Although the longitudinal edges 12c, 12c of the retainer plate 17 are thus shown preferably to be recessed or offset, they may be coextensive with respective ~:
longitudinal edges of the connecting end portion 12a. ~:
The retainer plate 17 is provided in its upper surface with a receiving recess or cavity 12f for temporarily :

According to an important aspect of the invention, there is provided an adapter strip 19 preferably made of a metallic material and dimensioned to fit with and along either of the longitudinal edges 12c, 12c and having a predetérmined width. For the retainer means 12 designed for applying the hook component H, a pair of adapter strips 19, 19 are preferably provided for attachment as better shown in FIG. 1. Each adapter strip 19 has a tapered end l9a canted at an angle to register in alignment with the tapered corner 12e of the retainer plate 17 when assembled as shown in FIG.
3.
In order to facilitate attachment of the adapter strip 19 to the retainer plate 17, there are provided a plurality of magnetic members 20 which are embedded to lie substantially flush with the contour of the longitudinal edge 12c of the retainer plate 17 and which are adapted to attract and hold the adapter strip 19 in place with respect to the retainer plate 17.
A plurality of positioning prongs 21 extend laterally from the longitudinal edges I2c of the retainer plate 17 and : I . , are engageable with corresponding recesses l9b in the adapter strip 19, the arrangement being to ensure proper alignment between the retainer plate 17 and the adapter " strip 19.
Reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, there is shown an :
'' "! ~03~7~
...
apparatus 10' for applying an eye component E of a fastener onto a stacks waistband W. A backing plate retainer means 12' is supported for both rotary and linear movement with ;
respect to the unit of punch 15 and die 16 as shown in FIG.
6.
The retainer means 12' is in the form of a generally rectangular retainer plate 17' having a receiving recess or cavity 12f' for temporarily accommodating a backing plate B' until it is clamped together with the eye E. Similarly to the retainer means 12 for applying the hook component H, the retainer plate 17' has magnetic members 20' and prongs 21' provided along one of its longitudinal edges 12c' and is ~`~ engageable with an adapter strip 19' for the purpose already described. `
