<p>A hand-held press (20) is provided for installing fasteners in a sheet of fabric. The press has a frame (22) with a pair of arms (24, 26) forming a C-shaped recess (28) into which the fabric may be inserted. The frame has a handle (32) extending outwardly from a press axis (30) with a lever (34) pivotally attached to the frame adjacent the handle enabling a user to squeeze the handle and lever together. A shaft (44) is oriented along the press axis and slidably cooperates with the frame. An advance sear (50) on the shaft is engaged by the lever to cause the shaft to incrementally advance when the lever is squeezed with the handle. A retract sear (54) cooperates with the shaft and the frame to prevent the shaft from retracting. A pair of die elements (58, 62) attached to the frame and the shaft facilitate the installation of fasteners (76) in a sheet of fabric.</p> |
