  • Publication number: 20200291655
    Abstract: A fastener cap assembly for securing protective wrap to lumber includes a plurality of fastener caps spaced from one another by breakable tabs along a first axis extending through a center of the fastener caps, with each of the fastener caps and breakable tabs comprising a substrate formed from a paper-based material. The fastener cap assembly further includes a groove extending across a center portion of the breakable tabs and penetrating inward from the top surface of the breakable tabs to a predetermined depth, and a protective material applied to at least the top surfaces of the substrates that forms a non-waxy and moisture-resistant protective harrier when cured.

  • Publication number: 20150322995
    Abstract: A fastener cap assembly for providing a plurality of fastener caps to a nailer tool that includes a plurality of fastener caps spaced from one another along a first axis extending through a center of the fastener caps, with each fastener cap having a cap width along the first axis and a cap length along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis, and with the cap length being different than the cap width. The fastener caps are releasably connected on either side to adjacent fastener caps with one or more breakable tabs, and with the breakable tabs on opposite sides of one or more fastener caps being offset from the first axis in opposite directions.

  • Patent number: 7232050
    Abstract: The invention provides a manually actuated fastener driver device having a fastener cap reservoir disposed in proximity to the driver of the device and a cap advancement mechanism. Upon each actuation, the device delivers a cap and fastener to a work surface, for example, during the attachment of a sheet-like material to the work surface.

  • Patent number: 6145725
    Abstract: A fastener cap assemblage comprising multiple fastener caps, as used with fasteners such as nails, screws or tacks, held in a fixed relationship to one another and adapted to be held and moved through a guide to a specified position where they may receive the fastener. Each fastener cap is releasably connected to another fastener cap by at least one breakable member. The breakable member or members are disposed on the marginal edge of each fastener cap. Preferably, the fastener caps are connected to each other by two breakable members. Most preferably, two breakable members are arranged parallel to the length of the fastener cap assemblage, and each other, and are off-set from the center of each fastener cap. The fastener caps may also be may also be arranged in a strip. Each fastener cap may have a centrally disposed aperture adapted to permit passage of a shaft of a fastener through the fastener cap.

  • Patent number: 5947362
    Abstract: A fastener driver cap feeder assembly includes a nose piece adapted to be attached to a pneumatic or explosive charge type fastener driver for receiving and supporting a fastener cap proximate a nose of the fastener driver for the pupose of driving a fastener through the fastener cap into a workpiece. The assembly also includes a track communicating with the nose piece and adapted to direct succeeding fastener caps to the nose piece, a magazine adapted to receive and hold a supply of succeeding fastener caps and communicating with the track to permit passage of succeeding fastener caps from the magazine to the track, and an intermittently operable mechanism associated with one of the track and the magazine adapted to operate in response to actuation of the fastener driver to incrementally move succeeding fastener caps from the track to the nose piece.
