Abstract

See full text

A fastener assembly for use with a power actuated gun including a bracket and associated stud wherein the bracket is formed with at least two fingers extending upward therefrom. The fingers are formed so as to permit the fastener assembly to be frictionally held within the bore of the power actuated gun. The support for the studs and fingers are configured to readily collapse when the stud is driven into a support structure, causing the head end portion of the stud to be made flush against the bracket and causing the fingers to occupy the space from whence they were formed. Another embodiment has a flat surface on a curved bracket to assist in stabilizing the barrel of a power actuated gun.
