ABSTRACT:
A receptacle which is configured to receive a fastener element having a hexagon, or some other polygonal profile, and which is configured to rotationally or angularly orientate the insert fastener element. One version of the receptacle provides that the receptacle is in the open position as a fastener element is dropped therein. Then, a jaw cylinder closes the receptacle, thereby orientating the fastener element. Another version of the receptacle uses springs instead of a jaw cylinder, and orientates the fastener element upon rotation of a threaded shaft of a pulling head.
