Claim 3:
4. The self-piercing rivet escapement mechanism of claim 1, further comprising a second resiliently biased jaw that is biased towards a closed configuration in which the second resiliently biased jaw is configured to cooperate with the first resiliently biased jaw to retain self-piercing rivets in the self-piercing rivet track, wherein the second resiliently biased jaw is moveable to an open configuration in which a self-piercing rivet can escape the self-piercing rivet track, and wherein the second resiliently biased jaw is configured to move from the closed configuration to the open configuration upon exertion of a load upon the second resiliently biased jaw.
