Abstract: A one-piece fastener for attaching a spring member to a frame or the like comprising a length of metal bent to provide (1) a pair of frame penetrating portions disposed generally parallel with respect to one another and having free ends configured to facilitate simultaneous entry thereof into the frame, (2) a pair of relatively short driving portions connected at one of their ends with the opposite ends of the frame penetrating portions and extending therefrom at generally right angles in directions generally toward one another, and (3) a nestable portion connected with the driving portions bent to define a hook for receiving the spring member therein. A stick package is formed of a multiplicity of fasteners. In one embodiment the nestable portions of adjacent sticks are disposed in horizontal abutting relation and the frame penetrating portions of adjacent fasteners are disposed in parallel relation.

Abstract: A nail constructed with conventional heading equipment with a notched open-sided partially circular head having a pair of annularly spaced radially extending ribs depending from the underside thereof to permit burr growth without interfering with the interengagement of the downwardly facing abutment surface areas of the rib with upwardly facing mating abutment surface areas of the top surface of the head of an adjacent nail when a plurality of such nails is collated and secured in an angle stick package with the shanks and heads of adjacent nails in abutting relation.
