  • Patent number: 7073699
    Abstract: A fastening tool applies parts, in particular plastic parts, to objects. The plastic parts are supplied in the form of a belt in which the plastic parts are linked together by at least one flexible web. The fastening tool transports the belt by a feed mechanism such that one plastic part at a time is delivered to a fastening position. The feed mechanism has a fluid drive that is coupled by a translation-rotation converter to a transport gear rotatably mounted on the fastening tool and designed to positively or nonpositively engage the belt in order to transport it. The translation-rotation converter has an overrunning clutch whose driving gear is kinematically coupled to the fluid drive and whose driven gear is coupled to the transport gear in a rotationally fixed manner.
