ABSTRACT:
A J-clip is inserted by a tool into a hole in a portion of an element in a single plane or a hole at the intersection of two substantially perpendicular portions of an element so that portions of the clip are on opposite sides of the portion of the element having the hole. The tool has a hook disposed in a hole in the single plane portion when the clip is to be inserted into the hole and guide surfaces engaging the single plane portion cooperating with the hook to orient the tool relative to the single plane portion. The tool has a pair of locater fingers for disposition within the hole at the intersection of the two substantially perpendicular portions of the element when a clip is to be inserted therein and toes engaging the intersection of the two substantially perpendicular portions of the element cooperating with the locater fingers to orient the tool relative to the two substantially perpendicular portions of the element. The clip is inserted into either of the holes by rotation of a pawl engaging the top of the clip with a pair of spring plates acting against opposite sides of the clip to insure that the clip enters the hole with the desired orientation. The rotation of the pawl is changed to linear motion prior to the pawl moving the clip into the hole. The tool also may insert a J-clip over an edge of an element at a predetermined position.
