A METHOD OF DRIVING A T-NUT INTO A PRE-DRILLED HOLE IN A WORK PIECE, AN APPARATUS FOR CARRYING OUT THE METHOD, A T-NUT STRIP AND A T-NUT

摘要

The invention relates to a T-nut insertion method and an apparatus (1) of the type for driving T-nuts into e.g. a wooden work piece (4) with predrilled holes (5). A T-nut strip with improved and controllable rupture characteristics is also disclosed. Finally, embodiments of T-nuts with T-nut strip cutting protrusions or shapes are also disclosed. By applying the method according to the invention, a safe and precise insertion of T-nuts is obtained without the risk of T-nuts accidentally being driven from the apparatus (1) and without the risk of the T-nuts being driven into the work piece (4) at locations beside the predrilled holes (5).
