1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a bundle of fasteners for use in a fastener applicator apparatus.
2. PRIOR ART
In prior known fastener bundles, one or more of the following problems, presented in random order, have been encountered: (1) excessive complexity of structure and hence cost; (2) susceptibility to weakening of bundle due to humidity and other moisture; (3) fastener heads and shanks have left bundle debris on the workpiece and on the work areas, such debris frequently constituting dry glue, paper fibers, and brittle plastic material; (4) bundle debris has rendered an applicator gun susceptible to malfunctions; (5) some fastener bundles are relatively rigid and used in clip form, thus requiring frequent reloading of the applicator gun; (6) some prior fasteners require a coating for reliable use; and/or (7) unwanted reclose of the subsequent fastener.
