Split ring and pellet method stitchless fastener coil separation tool

A stitchless method for a coil separating tool for attaching split rings to foldable flexible materials, the separating tool including:

• (a) a split ring comprising a top and bottom coil connected to each other by a Z-shaped portion, said coils' strong contact relationship defining an exterior parting groove and an interior locking chamber;
• (b) a split ring holding compartment centered on a flat plate;
• (c) at least one prying tool comprising a cylindrical rod shaft having
• a symmetrical slot screwdriver type linear tip inner end having a width similar to said cylindrical rod shaft;
• a lever outer end for sliding said prying tool axially and rotating said prying tool around its axis;
• a middle shaft portion;
• a flat surface portion on said shaft parallel to said linear tip,
• (d) at least one stopping means affixed to said middle shaft portion, said prying tool being in its first position when said tip is pointing at, remote from, and adjacent to said holding compartment,
• (e) at least one guidance means associated with said flat plate and axially aligned with and slidably guiding each said prying tool,
• (f) at least one stopping means cooperating with said stopping means affixed to said prying tool and associated with said guiding means, and
• (g) at least one spring strip affixed at its one end to said flat plate, at its other end yieldably holding each said prying tool snugly within and axially aligned with said guidance means and in cooperation with said prying tool flat surface portion aligning said linear screwdriver tip with said split ring parting groove when said prying tool is in its said first position and when a split ring is in said holding compartment,
• the method including the steps of:
• (a) placing a split ring into said holding compartment oriented with its Z-shaped portion away from said prying tool tips
• (b) pushing said lever ends of said prying tools outer ends towards said split ring parting groove a distance defined by said stopping means, sending said tool tips into a second position between said top and bottom coils thereby partially separating them
• (c) rotating each said lever outer end of said prying tools 90-degrees on its said axis simultaneously in opposite clock directions thereby setting both said tool tips vertically and perpendicular to said top and bottom coils into a third position and fully separating said top and bottom coils to a distance equal to said screwdriver tips width
• (d) inserting a pellet-sized gripable object into the fold of said foldable material thereby forming a bump sandwich
• (e) sliding the folded material bump sandwich between said fully separated top and bottom coils and into said locking chamber of said split ring
• (f) rotating each said lever outer ends 90-degrees simultaneously in opposite clock directions around said axis back into said second position thereby partially trapping said folded material bump sandwich between said coils within said locking chamber;
• and
• (g) pulling said prying tools by said lever outer ends simultaneously out from between said top and bottom coils back and away from said split ring and said holding compartment a distance defined by said stopping means causing said coils to fully close thereby trapping said folded material bump sandwich in said locking chamber, releasing the ring lock together with its entrapped material bump sandwich and allowing their removal as a unit from said holding compartment of said coil separating tool, and said prying tools being again in said first position ready for the next cycle.
