Patent number: 8360703Abstract: A fastener assembly is configured for use in an associated fastener driving tool for driving a fastener from the assembly into an associated substrate. The assembly includes a row of fasteners, each having a shank, arranged substantially parallel to each other. A collation system is formed from a plastic material that is molded onto and adhered to the fasteners. The plastic material is molded to define a collar portion substantially encircling the fastener shank and a connecting portion extending between and connecting adjacent collar potions. The plastic material is formulated from an adhesive polymer. When the fastener is driven from the driving tool, the collar portion remains adhered to the fastener such that the collar portion penetrates the substrate with the fastener.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2006Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Lawrence S. Shelton, Paul J. Storiz, Michael Starozhitsky, Algis P. Suopys, Donald E. Bergstrom

Patent number: 8353658Abstract: A fastener assembly is for use in an associated fastener driving tool. The assembly includes a row of fasteners arranged substantially parallel to each other. Each fastener has a shank and defines an axis. A collation system is formed from a plastic material that is molded onto and adhered to the fasteners. The plastic material defines a collar portion at least substantially encircling the fastener shank and a connecting portion extending between and connecting adjacent collar portions. The connecting portion includes a bridge and a rib. The bridge is a relatively thin, elongate element spanning adjacent collar portions and the rib is a relatively thick, short element that is disposed at about an upper portion of the bridge. When the fastener is driven from the driving tool, the collar portion remains adhered to the fastener such that the collar portion penetrates the substrate with the fastener. The connecting portion can include a weakened region for separating the connecting portion from the collar.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2007Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Isaac H. Heskel, Algis P. Suopys, Michael Starozhitsky

Patent number: 8333538Abstract: A fastener assembly for use in an associated fastener driving tool for driving a fastener from the assembly, in sequential order, into an associated substrate, includes a row of fasteners arranged substantially parallel to each other, each fastener having a shank and defining an axis and a collation system formed from a plastic material that is molded onto and adhered to the fasteners. The plastic material defines a collar portion at least substantially encircling the fastener shank and a connecting portion extending between and connecting adjacent collar portions. When the fastener is driven from the driving tool, the collar portion remains adhered to the fastener such that the collar portion penetrates the substrate with the fastener, and the connecting portion includes a preferentially weakened region to influence separation of the connecting portion from the collar at a desired location.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2007Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Lawrence S. Shelton, Paul J. Storiz, Michael Starozhitsky, Algis P. Suopys, Donald E. Bergstrom, Isaac H. Heskel, Anthony M. Versino

Patent number: 7900657Abstract: A jaw for a sealless strapping machine includes a jaw element having a body that defines a linkage portion, a hook portion and a base portion. The hook portion extends transverse to the leg portion. The linkage portion, hook portion and base portion are contiguous and are formed from a single piece of material. The jaw element includes a plurality of punches extending upwardly from the base portion, and define a juncture of the punches and the base. Each punch is defined by a peak and a valley between the peak and the peak of an adjacent punch. The juncture of the punches and the base is formed as a relieved having a smooth radii transitions along the relieved area.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2007Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Sailesh Babu, Michael Starozhitsky, Paul J.
