ABSTRACT:
A fastener attaching tool particularly suited for use in attaching buttons to clothing, etc. and which is constructed for use with a fastener clip which includes a pair of runner bars and one or more U-shaped fasteners having transverse bars at opposite ends, each transverse bar being connected on its side to a corresponding runner bar by a severable connector post. The tool includes a body having a front end. A pair of needles are pivotally mounted at the front end of the body, each needle having a longitudinal slotted bore adapted to receive one of the transverse bars and a knife edge formed on one side which is adapted to sever a connector post from its associated transverse bar as the transverse bar is pushed through the needle. The body is shaped to include a transverse feed slot down through which the fastener clip is manually inserted. The tool also includes an ejector mechanism which is slidably mounted back and forth within the body and is rearwardly biased by a spring. The ejector mechanism is moved manually forward from the rear of the tool and includes a pair of ejector rods which are used to push the transverse bars into and through the bores in the needles. The body includes a pair of flexible fingers which cooperate with a pair of posts on the ejector mechanism to prevent automatic return of the ejector mechanism from its forwardmost position in the body to its rearwardmost position when forward pressure on the ejector mechanism is removed.
