ABSTRACT:
Pierce nuts are provided in finished form as similarly oriented and spaced parts of a strip, held together by metallic connectors which are sufficiently flexible to permit coiling the strip for purposes of feeding the pierce nuts in an uninterrupted and predictable sequence severing and applying the end nut of the strip to a panel. In a preferred form flanged pierce nuts are completely formed from a rigid metal bar having laterally extending flanges of reduced thickness on opposite sides of the bar, the nuts being separated by slots extending across the strip into the flanges to reduce the cross-section of the connecting material and thus impart flexibility to it. The strip is sufficiently rigid in a longitudinal direction to permit pushing the strip into the severing and applying tool.
