Abstract

A fastener feed head includes a chute having a feed passage along a feed axis to support and guide fasteners from a chute inlet to a chute outlet connected to a fastener installation head. A carriageis movably attached to the chute along a feed axis. Opposed pawls are pivotably attached to the carriage. The carriage reciprocates along the feed axis between a retracted position and a feed position. The carriage cyclically advances a predetermined number of fasteners from a queue of fasteners in an upstream zone into a queue of fasteners in a downstream zone by: retracting to the retracted position from the feed position; abutting the lead fastener in the upstream queue with the pawls; and, driving the lead fastener with the pawls until the carriage reaches the feed position.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 15 / 849,638, filed December 20, 2017, and entitled "Fastener Feed Head." technical field [0003] The invention relates to an apparatus for feeding fasteners from a supply hopper to a mounting head of a fastener mounting device. Background technique [0004] Self-attaching fasteners can be attached to panels without welding. Examples of self-attaching fasteners include stamped and inserted studs, bolts, ball studs, stamped and inserted nuts, and other female fasteners of this type. A self-attaching fastener includes a fastener portion such as, for a male fastener, a threaded or unthreaded shank, and for a female fastener, a threaded or unthreaded hole. Self-piercing fasteners have a cylindrical portion that pierces an opening in a panel. Self-inserting fasteners deform and secure to metal directly surrounding a pre-formed opening in a panel. [0005] Self-attaching fastene...
