Abstract: A tool for applying a fastener, such as a stud, is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the tool applies the fastener assembled with an applicator. The applicator has at least two legs. The tool includes a housing portion configured to releasably receive the fastener and the applicator. The tool further includes an actuating portion slidingly connected to the housing portion and having one or more projections. Movement of the actuating portion towards the contact surface presses the fastener against the contact surface and bends the at least two legs of the applicator towards the contact surface.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for applying a stud are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an applicator for temporarily holding a fastener that includes a base and shaft against a contact surface includes a generally planar body having a lower surface, an upper surface, and a receptacle. The receptacle is configured to releasably receive at least a portion of the shaft of the fastener. The applicator further includes at least two legs extending from the body, each leg being movable between a relaxed position and a contact or applied position.

Abstract: A portable cloth holder device 8 including a cloth 50 made of moisture absorbent material selectively connected to a cord attached at it proximal end to a spring-loaded reel mechanism 25 located in an outer housing 9. The outer housing 9 is selectively attached to the user or to a support surface via an adjustable clip 18. The cloth 50 can be selectively extended by pulling the distal end of the cord 30 from the outer housing 9. The cord 30 is sufficient length so that when the cloth 50 is pulled and fully extended, moisture and perspiration can then be removed by the user from his or her head, legs, and arms when the outer housing 9 is attached to the user's waist. When the user has finished drying the body, the cloth 50 retracts and automatically returns to its resting position inside the outer housing 9. The cloth 50 may be easily removed from the cord 30 for washing.
