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 23):
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 member, each of said hollow cylinders includes a bore therethrough, each said bore includes a length and interior threads extend partially along said length therein, and, said hollow cylinders of said T-Nuts defining barrels therefor; a plurality of spaced flanged heads formed from said deformable metal member, each of said flanged heads associated with one of said plurality of spaced and hollow cylinders defining said barrels, and, said flanged heads and said hollow cylinders defining said barrels form said T-Nuts; each T-Nut includes a first and second prong extending from said flange forming a first pair of prongs; each T-Nut includes a third and fourth prong extending from said flange forming a second pair of prongs; said first and second pairs of prongs oriented opposite each other; and, said interior threads of said hollow cylinders extend through said flanged heads; each said T-Nut includes a centrally located carry tab, 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 of said centrally located carry tabs includes a frangible portion; said frangible portions of said centrally located carry tabs are integrally joined together integrally joining adjacent T-Nuts; said centrally located frangible portions being bendable and severable; said weakened portions are slots in said first and second side portions, said top portion and said bottom portion of said deformable metal material; said slots in said first and second side portions, said top portion and said bottom portion of said deformable metal material being frangible and bendable, said slots enabling said continuous length of T-Nuts to be coiled and subsequently cut into individual T-Nuts; and, said centrally located carry tabs oriented opposite each other and at  90  with respect to said first and second pairs of prongs.
