Connect link and drive tool

Abstract

The invention, an improved connection, provides mechanical link between two or more members. This link is preferably made from round or rectangular wire having the ends formed at right angles and parallel and are the engaging spikes. The tool driver has an angle nose piece with the angle approximately equal to the angle of the walls adjacent to the joint. This ingenious invention is further shown by the driver axis is canted so as to provide the plain of the staple to be canted to allow the driver mechanism to remain outside the area of the joining members. These spikes are only subject to deforming as the body portion of this connect link is subjected to tension. This fastener will join members with concave, convex and flat surfaces external surfaces at acute or obtuse dihedral surfaces as this fastener is a mechanical link. This invention when used to secure the stud to the plate once again makes the stud a frame member suitable for tension loads.
