Abstract
Abstract A strapped fastener assemblage for an automatic fastener driver includes a pair of connecting straps made of paper, each of which has a plastic film laminated onto one surface of the connecting strap. The plastic-film-side surfaces of the connecting straps are in contact with each other. A plurality of pin-like fasteners are arranged in parallel to one another with a predetermined spacing and each of the fasteners extend transversely of and between the connecting straps; and a plurality of fastener retainers are defined by a pair of heat-sealed portions in the connecting straps extending transversely of the connecting straps, and the fastener retainer will retain a corresponding one of the fasteners.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
A strapped fastener assemblage, comprising: a pair of connecting straps made of paper, a plastic film is laminated onto one surface of each of the connecting straps, the plastic-film-side surfaces of the connecting straps being in contact with each other; a plurality of pin-like fasteners arranged generally parallel to one another with a predetermined spacing therebetween, each of said fasteners extending transversely of and between the connecting straps; a plurality of fastener retainers each of which is defined by a pair of heat-sealed portions of the connecting straps extending transversely of the connecting straps, said fastener retainer retaining a corresponding one of said fasteners; and separation means provided on only one connecting strap of each fastener retainer for facilitating removal of the pin-like fastener from the fastener retainer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
128 words
A strapped fastener assemblage, comprising: a pair of connecting straps made of paper, a plastic film is laminated onto one surface of each of the connecting straps, the plastic-film-side surfaces of the connecting straps being in contact with each other; a plurality of pin-like fasteners arranged generally parallel to one another with a predetermined spacing therebetween, each of said fasteners extending transversely of and between the connecting straps; a plurality of fastener retainers each of which is defined by a pair of heat-sealed portions of the connecting straps extending transversely of the connecting straps, said fastener retainer retaining a corresponding one of said fasteners; and separation means provided on only one connecting strap of each fastener retainer for facilitating removal of the pin-like fastener from the fastener retainer.
