  • Connector member for tip of fastener
    Patent number: 4028986
    Abstract: An elastomeric tip member for mounting on the piercing end of a nail-like fastener. The tip member has a forward end having means on its exterior for providing an interference fit with the wall of a hole through a bracket or the like into which the tip member is inserted. The tip member is preferably formed from a plastic material which will break up when the fastener is driven into a supporting material. The tip member thus provides an expendable temporary connection between the fastener and the bracket prior to driving the fastener into a supporting material to secure the bracket thereto.
