Abstract
A panel fastener strike comprises a unitary casing formed with two substantially parallel face plates unitarily bridged together by a strap at one end and formed with two substantially coplanar flanges at an opposite end, and a pin mounted to the two face plates spaced from the casing strap. In manufacturing the strike the face plates are bent from a coplanar orientation to a parallel orientation while simultaneously seating opposite ends of the pin in the face plate mounting holes.
Claims2
A method of manufacturing a panel fastener strike which comprises the steps of forming a metallic blank with two sections each having a pin mounting hole and with the sections bridged together by a strap, bending each section to form two substantially coplanar flanges and two substantially parallel face plates with the pin mounting holes being located in the face plates and with the strap extending between the face plates, and bending the two face plates at their junctures with the strap to a substantially parallel position while simultaneously locating opposite ends of a pin within the two face plates pin mounting holes.
