A bar connecting apparatus (20) applies clips to connect transverse bars (9, 11) used in reinforced concrete. A clip string (2) is fed into the bar connecting apparatus by a clip feed assembly (40), so several pairs of transverse bars can be connected in rapid succession. A hammer (26) reciprocates in the barrel (22) of the bar connecting apparatus, and drives a clip from the barrel into engagement with the bars. An alignment head (28) aligns the bar connecting apparatus with the transverse bars so the clips properly engage the bars. PCT/US200 1108 53 7 9 WO 20081064307 |
