Machine for clamping material to be fastened and automatically installing screws

摘要

A machine for clamping material to be fastened and automatically installing screws has been disclosed through a method of a self loading barrel that also aligns the screw to be installed thus reliving the operator of the strain of holding an unstable screw in place during the driving phase. This machine also automatically provides the force needed to keep the fastener from stripping at the head driver connection point through its unique design and also reliving the operator of much of the work related strain associated with these operations. This tool also provides another benefit in its design by automatically clamping the material during the fastening operation, that would normally have to be done separately with another tool. Another embodiment permits single loading of fasteners into the barrel.
