Definitions
- ABSTRACT A cartridge of collated fasteners is provided which facilitates the handling of a plurality of fasteners when loading a fastenebdriving tool or when said fasteners are to be stored or transported to the job site.
- the cartridge includes a spool member having an outwardly projecting shoulder adjacent one end and stop means adjacent the other end thereof, a fastener strip snugly coiled about the spool member, a wrapper encompassing the outermost row of fasteners, and removable means overlying a predetermined number of the head ends of the collated fasteners.
- the head ends of the fasteners are in nested relation and provide a substantially domelike configuration to the upper exposed surface of the cartridge.
- a cartridge of collated fasteners which includes an elongated cylindrical spool member having an outwardly projecting shoulder adjacent one end thereof and stop means adjacent the other end thereof.
- Snugly coiled about the spool member is an elongated fastener strip which includes a plurality of fasteners, each having an elongated shank and an enlarged head affixed to one end thereof.
- the fasteners are arranged in spaced relation and interconnected by a flexible tape.
- the shanks of the fasteners forming the innermost ring of the coiled strip engage the periphery of the spool member shoulder and the heads of said fasteners abut the stop means.
- the outermost ring of fasteners in the coiled strip is encompassed by a wrapper and the heads of certain of the fasteners in the coiled strip are engaged by a removable member.
- the heads of fasteners in each ring of the coiled strip are nested beneath the fastener heads of the preceding ring so that the upper exposed surface of the cartridge is substantially domeshaped.
- FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of one form of the improved cartridge.
- FIG. 2 is a top plan view of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2.
- FIG. 4 is a perspective top view showing the fastener strip being uncoiled from the spool member.
- the improved cartridge which includes a hollow cylindricallyshaped spool member 11 formed of suitable plastic or the like.
- the centerbore 12 of the member 11 is sized to slidably accommodate a suitable spindle, not shown, forming a part of a cannister-type magazine of a fastener-driving tool, also not shown.
- Tools of the type in question are presently marketed by Spotnails, Inc., a subsidiary of Swingline, Inc., assignee of the present invention.
- the spool member 11 is provided at its upper end with an outwardly projecting collar 13 and an annular outwardly projecting shoulder or flange 14, the latter being disposed adjacent to the lower end of the spool member, as seen more clearly in FIG. 3.
- the strip 15 in this instance comprises a plurality of fasteners 16 which may be nails, screws, rivets, etc.
- the fastener 16 has an elongated shank 16a, pointed at one end 16b, and having preferably an enlarged head at the opposite end of the shank, see FIG. 4.
- the fasteners are interconnected to one another by flexible tape sections 17. When the strip 15 is being uncoiled from the spool member 11 and fed into firing position, the tape sections 17 are in taut condition and the fasteners arranged in a substantially parallel relation, see FIG. 4.
- the strip 15, when snugly coiled about spool member 11, has the shanks 16a of the fasteners 16, comprising the innermost ring A of the coiled strip, engaging the periphery of flange 14 while the heads 16c of said fasteners abut the underside of collar 13, see FIG. 3.
- Collar 13 and flange l4 serve to prevent accidental telescoping of the fasteners from the spool member when the strip 15 is coiled thereabout.
- the fastener heads of each outwardly succeeding ring of the coiled strip are nested beneath and engage the underside of the fastener heads comprising the preceding ring.
- the nested fastener heads are in compact interlocking relation and form a domelike, exposed upper surface of the cartridge 10, see FIG. I.
- the shank ends 16b of the fasteners of each succeeding ring frictionally engage one another, as seen in FIG. 3, and form a concave bottom surface for the cartridge.
- the shank ends, except for the inner rings of fasteners, are toed inwardly due to the head 16c contacting the shank of a fastener in the preceding ring.
- the fastener shanks comprising the outermost ring of the coiled strip impart to the lower exposed part of the cartridge a shape similar to the frustum of a cone with the large end of the cone facing upwardly.
- the fasteners 16 in the illustrated embodiment have the lead ends 16b thereof colorcoded so that the user of the fasteners can tell at a glance the type and size of fastener being used.
- the color-coding is achieved by an adhesive coating having a distinctive color.
- the coating in addition to providing a color code, enhances the bonding effect between the fastener and the workpiece into which it is driven.
- a sleeve-type wrapper 18 formed of suitable paperboard or the like.
- the wrapper conforms to the frustum of a cone shape produced by the outermost ring B of the strip.
- the wrapper projects a short distance beyond the lead ends 16b of the fasteners and thus, provides a bottom which imparts stability to the cartridge when it is resting upright on a supporting surface.
- the lower edge of the wrapper 18 may be provided with a cutout so as to expose some of the color-coded fastener lead ends 16b.
- the wrapper 18 when in assembled position, prevents accidental uncoiling of the strip 15 from the spool member 11.
- a removable straplike member 20 is provided, which snugly overlies certain of the fastener heads 16c forming the dome-shaped exposed upper surface of the cartridge 10.
- the member 20 is a piece of'plastic tape adhesively coated on one side. The ends of member 20 are secured to opposite sides of the exposed surface of the wrapper 18. Other means for retaining the wrapper in its assembled condition may be readily utilized if desired.
- the member 20 When the cartridge is to be loaded into the magazine of a driving tool, not shown, the member 20 is first removed and the spindle of the tool is then inserted into the bore 12 formed in the spool member 11. Once the spool member is properly seated on the spindle, wrapper I8 is then removed and the outer end of the strip 15 is threaded into the feed mechanism for the tool.
- the threading of the strip into the feed mechanism is a manipulation well known and understood by those skilled in the art.
- fasteners comprising the strip as well as the type and size of fastener utilized may be varied from that shown without departing from the scope of this invention.
- a cartridge of collated fasteners each of the latter having an elongated shank with lead and trailing ends and an enlarged head at the trailing end thereof, said cartridge comprising an elongated spool member provided with an outwardly projecting shoulder adjacent one end thereof and stop means adjacent the other end thereof; a fastener strip snugly coiled about said spool member whereby a predetermined number of heads of the inner ring of fasteners abut said stop means and the shanks thereof snugly engage the periphery of said shoulder, the heads of each ring of fasteners being nested beneath the heads of the preceding ring of fasteners; a wrapper encompassing the elongated shanks of the outermost ring of fasteners; and removable means engaging said wrapper and retaining the latter in encompassing relation with said coiled fastener strip.

Abstract
ENDS OF THE FASTENERS ARE IN NESTED RELATION AND PROVIDE A SUBSTANTIALLY DOMELIKE CONFIGURATION TO THE UPPER EXPOSED SURFACE OF THE CARTRIDGE.
