Abstract: The coupling (13) is used for a fuel cartridge (2) outlet nozzle (1) designed to supply a compressed gas mounting device with compressed gas and an intake nozzle (3) on the device's intake system (4). It includes the means of sealing, designed to ensure a seal between the two nozzles (3,1) and the means of maintain the seal between the cartridge (2) and the intake system (4). The coupling is a single piece formed to ensure a seal and maintain it between the cartridge (2) and the intake system (4).

Abstract: A line feeding device 10 for releasable engagement with a staple gun 100 wherein the device 10 includes a line feeding unit 11 provided with a mounting unit 12 for attachment of the line feeding unit 11 to the staple gun 100 for delivering a supply of line 31 through the staple feeding magazine 103 of the staple gun 100. A line guide unit 13 positions the line 31 proximate a rear opening 108 in the staple gun 100.

Abstract: The machine according to the invention comprises a device for feeding at least a continuous belt from a coil, a punching unit provided with at least a punch for punching holes into the belt; a cutter for cutting the continuous belt in segments of the desired length and a unit for applying and shaping the hooks to the belt. The unit includes a feeder for feeding and positioning the locking bushings relative to the belt holes, an inserter for inserting the hooks into the holes provided in the locking bushings and into the holes punched in the belt and a closer for closing the locking bushing about one hook end and for simultaneously shaping the other hook end.

Abstract: Under direction of a machine controller, an endless chain conveyor is incrementally passed by a plurality of loader heads. The loader heads receive a series of components taped on a reel supplied substrate, sever individual taped components from the supply, and load the individual taped components onto clip carriers of the endless conveyor, on command, in a preferred sequence. The clip carrier mounted components are then indexed past a cutter assembly for trimming the lengths of the leads and removing the substrate, and a positioning disc assembly for positioning the components in the clip carriers before being passed to a rotary transfer assembly. The rotary transfer assembly removes individual components from the conveyor and rotates to an unload position above a linear loader, which laterally transfers the components from the rotary transfer to an insert head assembly.
