  • Collated and lubricated fasteners and lubrication station
    Patent number: 6408489
    Abstract: A fastener for use with a crimping tool comprising a length of fastener metal wire bent into a generally C-shaped configuration to form an open ring fastener. The open ring fastener includes spaced opposed curved free end portions integrally interconnected by a central connecting portion. The open ring fastener is to be (1) positioned in an installation position with respect to elongated elements to be connected together disposed between the spaced opposed free ends thereof, and (2) crimped by a pair of closing jaws of the crimping tool into a close ring formation in surrounding relation to the elongated elements wherein the free ends are lapped with respect to sections of the connecting portion. The open ring fastener has a dry lubricant film on exterior surfaces of the curved free ends which slide with respect to the closing jaws when the open ring fastener is crimped so as to reduce the force required to effect the crimping movement.
