Abstract: An adhesive fastener for securement to a substrate which has a reservoir comprising a reservoir cup and a piston located therein blocking entry of atmospheric water vapor and preventing unintentional leakage of adhesive from the reservoir and a wall portion of the reservoir may be displaced to prevent hydraulic lock as the piston is pushed into the reservoir during assembly of the fastener and also when the fastener is being deployed against the substrate. Apparatus and a method of filling the reservoir cups and inserting pistons therein while excluding atmospheric water vapor is disclosed.

Abstract: An adhesively secured fastener for use with a wide variety of substrates which provides a safer and more effective method of storing, transporting, delivering and using a quick setting adhesive while protecting against contact of the adhesive contained therein with the user of the fastener, and having a pressure sensitive adhesive for holding the fastener in place while the quick setting adhesive cures.

Abstract: Described is an adhesively securable fastener comprising a body having an opening; an adhesive positioned within said body and registering with the opening of the chamber, a plunger means for applying pressure to said adhesive such as against an anvil means thereby adhesively securing the fastener to a substrate. Also described is a method for securing a substrate using the fastener described herein.
