<p>A simplified reliable fastener installation apparatus or head assembly particularly suitable for installing self-attaching pierce or clinch nuts. The head assembly includes a stationary base plate for attachment to a die shoe and a mating relatively moveable member. The moveable member, which may be formed from a single block of metal, includes intersecting transverse passages, including a first passage receiving fasteners for installation and a plunger passage. The head portion of T-shaped plunger is retained by the base plate and the plunger leg portion is telescopically received in the plunger passage of the moveable member. The moveable member is retained to the stationary member, stabilized and guided by guide bolts which are threadably attached to the base member and parallel to and spaced equidistant from the plunger.</p> |
