ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for inserting conventional pile weatherstripping, for example, into a T-slot in an object includes a member which slides longitudinally relative to the object along the T-slot and is guided so as to remain fixed laterally with respect to the object during relative longitudinal movement. A guideway for the weatherstrip extends through the member and is inclined downwardly towards an exit adjacent the T-slot. The guideway also is angled relative to the T-slot to hold the backing of the pile weatherstrip at an angle at which one of the flanges of the backing can move into the groove of the T-slot through the T-slot opening. A finger, presser wheel or the like located upstream from the guideway exit extends into the T-slot through the T-slot opening and engages with the other of the flanges of the pile weatherstrip to move the other of the flanges into the T-slot groove through the T-slot opening.
