A fastener attaching tool particularly suited for use in attaching buttons to clothing, etc. and which is constructed for use with a fastener clip which includes a pair of runner bars and one or more U-shaped fasteners having transverse bars at opposite ends, each transverse bar being connected on its side to a corresponding runner bar by a severable connector post. The tool includes a pair of needles each having a longitudinal slotted bore adapted to receive one of the transverse bars and a knife edge formed on one side which is adapted to sever a connector post from its associated transverse bar as the transverse bar is pushed through the needle. The body includes a transverse feed slot disposed just to the rear of the needles down through which the fastener clip is manually inserted. The tool also includes an ejector mechanism, which is slidably mounted back and forth within the body and is rearwardly biased by a spring. The ejector mechanism is manually operable from the rear of the body and includes a pair of ejector rods which are slidable back and forth within the bores of the needles and are used to push the transverse bars into and through the needles. |

A fastener for use in attaching a button to a garment or a piece of fabric and a fastener clip including one or more of said fasteners. In a preferred embodiment, the fastener comprises a U-shaped flexible filament and a pair of transverse feet, the transverse feet being disposed at opposite ends of the U-shaped flexible filament. The U-shaped flexible filament is generally rectangular in cross-section. The width of the filament is substantially uniform over its length whereas the thickness of the filament is greatest in its arcuate region (to maximize the strength of the fastener) and least towards the feet. Because of its U-shape, the filament is permitted to extend between adjacent button holes, thereby creating the appearance of thread. The transverse feet, which extend parallel to one another and perpendicularly to the plane of the filament, are sized and shaped both to fit through a button hole and, once inserted through the button hole and an underlying garment, to securely engage the underside of the garment. To minimize contact with a person's skin, the feet of the present fastener are preferably shorter than the transverse bars of existing button fasteners and are preferably comparable in overall size to a knot of thread used to secure a button to a sheet of clothing material. In addition, the feet preferably have rounded ends, a flat top surface, and a contoured bottom surface to minimize contact with, and hence irritation of, a person's skin. |

Needle for use in the rodless dispensing of plastic fasteners of the type comprises a flexible filament and a cross-bar disposed at one end of the flexible filament. In one embodiment, the needle comprises a solid elongated member terminating at its front end in a tip adapted to penetrate a desired article of commerce and a chamber adapted to receive a cross-bar of a plastic fastener. The chamber includes a front end, a rear end, an open top and an open bottom. The open top, which is spaced rearwardly a distance from the tip, is appropriately sized and shaped to permit the insertion and removal of a cross-bar into and from the chamber. The front end is downwardly angled towards the tip to releasably engage the top surface of the front end of the cross-bar, and the rear end has a pair of walls intersecting in a V-shape to releasably engage both the top surface and the bottom surface of the rear end of the cross-bar in such a way as to prevent the cross-bar from being pulled out of the chamber through the open top when low tension is applied to the flexible filament (i.e., prior to the complete insertion of the cross-bar through the article of commerce), but yet, so as to cause the cross-bar to be pulled out of the chamber through the open top when high tension is applied to the flexible filament (i.e., following the complete insertion of the cross-bar through the article of commerce). |
