ABSTRACT:
The method for fixing clips to a furniture rail comprises the steps of: providing two or more spaced apart clip-clamping machines which are arranged adjacent each other and which have clip magazines aligned, respectively, with an outlet end of each machine; positioning each machine adjacent to and perpendicular one side of the furniture rail and with the magazine of each machine being parallel to each other and with each magazine being perpendicular to the rail; feeding an elongate strip of sheet metal anchor clips including a series of separate, identical anchor clips, assembled end-to-end in a line and held together in a line by a strip of flexible material fixed to each clip, to each magazine of each clip-clamping machine in a direction perpendicular to the furniture rail; and fixing the clip at the front of each magazine to the furniture rail at the same time, thereby fixing a plurality of the clips required by the furniture rail to the one side of the rail at approximately the same time to greatly reduce the time it takes to secure two or more clips to the furniture rail.
