ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a dispenser and applicator tool for the dispensing and fastening of clips such as hog rings and the like to work elements. The applicator mechanism of the tool has pivotal jaw members for clinching the clip about the work element and an appropriate mechanism for effecting pivotal movement of these jaw members. The dispensing mechanism of the tool includes a removable magazine of clips aligned in a stacked, face-to-face array with a feeder mechanism to advance the clips to the tool. The feeder mechanism and pivotal jaw members are interconnected by a slide including a plate mounted for reciprocal movement on the tool body and effective to advance the magazine into clip dispensing alignment with the jaw members of the tool. The jaw members have a clip receiving groove with a beveled land therein to receive a clip from the dispensing magazine. The beveled land of the groove is effective in urging the magazine outwardly upon initial movement of the jaw members whereby the feeder mechanism is released to permit its retraction from the jaw mechanism. The preferred embodiment of the tool employs a pistol grip with a hand lever for effecting pivotal movement of the jaw members with a handle on the sliding plate of the feeder mechanism for manually advancing and retracting the feeder mechanism. The invention also includes a magazine of clips mounted on a mandrel in a stacked, face-to-face array. The mandrel employed for stacking of the clips is a generally flat rod having opposite coextensive rounded edges to engage the inner, opposite side apexes of the clips and a coextensive central rib along one side to engage the inner wall of the other apex of the clip, thereby maintaining the clips in alignment on the mandrel. The mandrel is also provided with clip retaining means at each end thereof in the form of buttons with lock means permitting the removable engagement of these buttons to the end of the mandrel so that the buttons function as stop means preventing dislodgement of a clip over the end of the rod.
