Abstract:
A continuous strip of T-Nuts formed on a common strip of metal. Each T-Nut of the strip of T-Nuts is integrally connected to the next adjacent T-Nut by carry tabs. The carry tabs can be frangible themselves or contain a frangible portion. Each T-Nut includes a cylindrical bore therein and a threaded interior. A mechanism feeds and severs the endmost T-Nut in endwise fashion. The mechanism to feed and sever the endmost T-Nut includes a cutting blade positioned vertically below the frangible portion of the carry tab. A shearing ram having a guide positioned axially in line with the cylindrical bore in the endmost T-Nut is adapted to move vertically from an upper to a lower position to engage the cutting blade with the frangible portion and sever the endmost T-Nut.

Claim (Index 22):
A continuous length of deformable metal material having integrally connected T-Nuts, comprising:\n said continuous length of deformable metal material includes first and second side portions, a top portion and a bottom portion; said continuous length of deformable metal material includes an endmost T-Nut; a plurality of spaced and hollow cylinders extending vertically from said top portion of said deformable metal material; said hollow cylinders include interior threads therein; a plurality of spaced flanged heads formed from said deformable metal material, each of said flanged heads associated with one of said plurality of spaced and hollow cylinders, said flanged heads and said hollow cylinders form said T-Nuts, and, said interior threads of said hollow cylinders extend through said flanged heads; a plurality of prongs is formed in each of said flanged heads, said plurality of prongs are aligned with said continuous length of deformable metal material integrally connected T-Nuts; each said T-Nut includes a centrally located carry tab intermediate each of said adjacent T-Nuts, a first gripping surface and a second gripping surface, said first and second gripping surfaces for driving said continuous length of deformable metal material having integrally connected T-Nuts to another position such that said endmost T-Nut is in position for severing from said continuous length of deformable metal material having integrally connected T-Nuts; each said carry tab comprises a centrally located weakened portion affixing adjacent T-Nuts together; said centrally located weakened portions being frangible and bendable; said weakened portions are slots in said first and second side portions, a top portion and a bottom portion of said deformable metal material; and, said slots in said first and second side portions, a top portion and a bottom portion of said deformable metal material being frangible and bendable centrally located weakened portions enabling said continuous length of T-Nuts to be coiled and subsequently cut into individual T-Nuts.
