Benefits of technology

[0027] A third aspect of the present invention is a fastener attaching device, which can be used for attaching each one of the fasteners to a good to be labeled. The fastener attaching device of the present invention shoots fasteners one by one, utilizing a fastener assembly in which a plurality of individual fasteners each have a filament portion and at least one bulged massive portion provided on at least one end portion of the filament portion. Each of the plurality of fasteners is arranged adjacent to each other, in parallel fashion, wherein at least one of the bulged massive portions of each one of the fasteners is simultaneously connected to a connecting bar. The fastener attaching device has a main body, an operating lever, at least one h

Problems solved by technology

However, in this past fastener, since the T-bar has a relatively fine diameter and both end-portions thereof show steep edge, the edge frequently contacts a surface of the respective commercial good so as to damage the surface of the good and accordingly, the quality of the good is sometimes degraded.
On the other hand, since the T-bar has a relatively fine diameter a

Embodiment Construction

[0058] Preferred embodiments of a fastener and an assembly of the fasteners according to the present invention are described in detail below, with references being made to the relevant accompanying drawings.

[0059]FIG. 1(A) generally illustrates an example of a fastener 10 according to the present invention.

[0060] The fastener 10 is shown attached to at least one material sheet 7 or 8 such as a good to be labeled, as shown in FIG. 2(A) or FIG. 2(B). The fastener 10 includes a filament portion 2 and at least one bulged massive portion 3 provided on one end portion of the filament portion 2. The bulged massive portion 3 has a maximum length B in at least two directions perpendicular to an axial direction of the filament portion 2, as in a sphere or the like. Vectors (V1, V2) of the two directions could be 90° to each other or less, provided the angle formed by the vectors creates an outside surface on the portion 3 that is larger than the diameter of the filament.

[0061] The length B...
