1419259 Assembling sliding clasp fasteners YOSHIDA KOGYO KK 18 Dec 1972 [22 Dec 1971] 58379/72 Heading B3A [Also in Division E2] Apparatus 100 for applying sliders and end stops to sliding clasp fastener stringers or to continuous chains of fastener elements, comprises a reciprocally movable end stop applying hammer 104, a support table 115, an anvil 105 supported thereon and a unit 103 comprising a slider assembling means 108 and an end stop die means 106, the unit being carried on the anvil and movable therewith relative to the table for assembling a slider S on the fastener stringers and a first operative position away from the path of the end-stop applying hammer and subsequently applying an end stop P to the assembly fastener stringers F 1 , F 2 , Fig. 6, and slider S in a second operative position in which the end stop die means registers with the hammer 104. As shown, the anvil is divided into upper and lower section 105a, 105b connected by a pin 111 the permit relative rotation of the section; the lower section is pivotally connected to the table 115 by a pin 114 to permit movement of the unit 103 away from the path of the hammer 104 by means of handle (117), Fig. 3 (not shown), in use, the stringers F 1 , F 2 are threaded through the slider S, which is releasably clamped in a nest Sn in an end face of the assembling means 108, and are drawn towards the die means 106. The unit 103 is then returned to be upright position and an end stop P is driven by the hammer 104 into the closed stringers, whereafter the hammer is retracted and the unit is rotated to the first position in readiness for the application of the next slider. In other arrangements. Figs. 7 and 8 (not shown), the unit is moved respectively horizontally sideways or vertically with respect to the path of the hammer 104.
