Self retained stapled construction

A staple construction for securing an object to a structure and being capable of assembly to said object to thus permit ease of manual orientation of said staple and said object relative to said structure at the time of securing said object to said structure, said staple construction comprising:

• (a) a pair of spaced metal staple legs each having a pointed extremity for retaining penetration of said structure;
• (b) a metal retainer bridge member being integral with said spaced staple legs and having said spaced staple legs extending from respective extremities thereof and cooperating with said spaced staple legs to define a generally U-shaped metal staple structure, said spaced staple lets having pointed ends for penetration into said structure;
• and
• (c) at least one staple retainer member for retaining said staple construction in assembly with said object prior to forcible retaining penetration of said spaced staple legs into said structure, said at least one staple retainer member being disposed in assembly with said spaced staple legs and having a plurality of ridges and valleys extending along at least a portion of the length of said spaced staple legs, said at least one staple retainer member defining opposed yieldable retainer projections defining a space therebetween of less dimension than the dimension of said object and normally defining object retaining positions, said yieldable retainer projections being sufficiently spaced from said retainer bridge to permit movement of said yieldable retainer projections completely past said object upon assembly of said staple construction to said object and returning to said object retaining positions upon movement thereof past said object thus retaining said staple construction in assembly with said object.
