Abstract:
1. A tag-attaching pin attaching apparatus which can use a unit of tag-attaching pins in which a plurality of said tag-attaching pins, each comprising a fiber section, an inserting head section provided at one end of said fiber section, and a holding section provided at another end of said fiber section, are mutually arranged in parallelism with each other, and wherein at least said inserting head sections of each one of said tag-attaching pins which being mutually and adjacently arranged with each other or said holding sections of each one of said tag-attaching pins which being mutually and adjacently arranged with each other, are mutually connected with each other via a connecting member so that said parallel configuration can be maintained without using a connection bar, wherein a tag is attached to a desired good with said holding section by inserting said inserting head section of said tag-attaching pin into a hollow needle provided on said tag-attaching pin attaching apparatus and by penetrating said inserting head section through said good and pushing said inserting head section out of said hollow needle, utilizing a pin pushing means, so as to have said inserting head section attached to a surface of said good with said tag via a part of said good so that said tag is kept by said fiber section, and further wherein said tag-attaching pin attaching apparatus is provided with a hollow needle fixing section which can fixedly hold said hollow needle which is arranged at a front end portion of said tag-attaching pin attaching apparatus, a shooting pin portion which is positioned opposite to said hollow needle fixing section and can push said inserting head section into said hollow needle, and an insertion head portion shooting out position which being arranged at a position between said hollow needle fixing section and said shooting pin portion, said tag-attaching pin attaching apparatus further comprising a guide plate provided with a first guide section for supplying said unit of tag-attaching pins to said insertion head portion shooting out position and which is integrally fixed or detachably connected to a top surface of said tag-attaching pin attaching apparatus and further wherein said first guide section of said guide plate comprises a first end portion which is positioned opposite to said insertion head portion shooting out position and a first groove portion which is extended from said first end portion to a rear end portion of said tag-attaching pin attaching apparatus with a length, having a curved configuration, and further wherein, said first guide section is configured so that said insertion head section and a tag-attaching pin unit pushing member which has a function to push said insertion head section of said tag-attaching pin unit directing to said insertion head portion shooting out position, are slidably inserted therein.
