     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION 
     This invention relates to the means for supplying the fasteners in a tag attaching apparatus. In a tag attaching apparatus, the present invention contains characteristically the -type plunger as well as the pushing member and the pushing bar so that, every time when the lever is pushed and released, since the pushing bar induces one step of the rotation of the gear wheel, it is possible to supply regularly the fasteners one by one. 
     According to the prior arts, since the tag attaching apparatus contains the fasteners supplying means consisting of a complicated constructions, it has the defects that the cost to produce the apparatus is expensive and the apparatus has been broken down frequently. 
     According to the present invention, in a common tag attaching apparatus, in order to reform the operating system of the fastener supplying means to a simple one, the invention contains characteristically that, by connecting to the fastener supplying gear wheel the -type plunger located on the upper part of the hinge portion driving in the driving home and having the pressing pole pressing the fastener into the concave home of the needle, the pushing member locates on the central part of the plunger and the pushing bar connected to the pushing member. And, when the lever is pushed, by the forward driving of the plunger, the pressing bar pushes the fastener into the concave home of the needle and the tag is attached to the goods. Since the gear wheel is turned by each step caused by the mutual combination between the plunger, the pushing member and the pushing bar, it is possible to supply the fasteners one by one to the needle. And, the construction is very simple and the manufacture is easy so that the present invention is used conveniently and for a long time without causing any obstacle during the use. 
     The present invention is described in detail, according to the accompanying drawings, as follows: 
     In a common tag attaching apparatus having that the needle (2) excavated the concave home (2&#39;) is installed on the edge of the frame (1), the fastener supply gear wheel (3) is installed on the one side of the needle (2) and the fastener (5) is supplied in a line into the guiding aperture (4) located on between the gear wheel (3) and the needle (2), the present invention contains characteristically that the plunger (8) having the edge portions (8&#39;) and (8&#34;) which drives to the forward direction and to the backward direction in the driving home (7) by the hinge portion (6&#39;) is located on the upper part of the driving home (7) of the hinge portion (6&#39;) having the pressing pole (6); the bottom of the pushing member (9) is hinged on the base (9&#39;) located on the upper part of the central part of the plunger (8); the pushing bar (10) connected to the upper part of the pushing member (9) is pressed to touch with the gear wheel (3) by the spring (11); and, since the unloosing member (13) is located on the front edge of the frame (1) and, when the unloosing member (13) is pushed upwardly, the locking member (12) is separated from the gear wheel (3). 
     According to the present invention, the tag is attached to the goods by a common way and, however, when the lever (14) is pushed, the hinge portion (6&#39;) moves forwardly by the hinge support (15) so that the pressing pole (6) pushes one of the fasteners (5) into the concave home (2&#39;) of the needle (2) and, when the tag is attached to the goods, the edge portion (8&#39;) of the plunger (8) drives a little by the hinge portion (6&#39;) during the driving of the hinge portion (6&#39;) and the upper part of the pushing member (9) moves on the opposite direction. After the tag is attached, when the lever (14) is released, the hinge portion (6&#39;) returns to the original state and the edge portion (8&#34;) of the plunger (8) is driven to the opposite direction by the hinge portion (6&#39;). Then, the upper part of the pushing member (9) causes to return to the opposite direction and, since the pushing member (9) causes the movement of the pushing bar (10) and the gear wheel (3) is turned, one of the fasteners (5) is supplied to the needle. 
     As explained above, it is notable that the present invention contains characteristically the pushing bar (10), the pushing member (9) and the -type plunger (8) consisting of the edge portions (8&#34;) and (8&#39;) having the pressing pole (6) and locating on the upper part of the hinge portion (6&#39;) moving in the space of the driving home (7) and, by the mutually connected operation of the plunger (8), the pushing member (9) and the pushing bar (10) caused by the movement of the hinge portion (6&#39;), the gear wheel (3) supplying the fasteners (5) is driven. 
     There is the effect that the construction is so simple that the manufacture is very easy and the operation is exact and the present invention can be used conveniently for a long time without any obstacle.
