Abstract
Abstract A device for fixing labels to a supporting body, such as for example a fabric, by means of connecting elements consisting of a button and an anchoring body connected by a thin filament. The device comprises a hollow needle with a longitudinal slot, a piston which thrusts said anchoring body forward along said slot of said needle, a kinematic mechanism which feeds said connecting elements, assembled to form a unit, in continuous succession in such a manner that the anchoring body of each element is each time brought into alignment with said needle, and means for cutting each connecting element from said unit when the anchoring body of the element considered is thrust along the slot of said needle. The kinematic mechanism which feeds the connecting elements in continuous succession is wholly contained in a piece house in a freely removable manner in the body of the device, and is not constrained with the other members of this latter.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
195 words
In a device for fixing labels to fabrics and the like by means of connecting elements consisting of a button and an anchoring body connected by a thin filament, comprising a casing, a hollow needle containing a longitudinal slot extending outwardly of said casing, a piston within said casing which thrusts said anchoring body forward along said slot of the needle, a kinematic mechanism which feeds in continuous succession said connecting elements assembled to form a unit in such a manner that the anchoring body of each element is each time brought into alignment with said needle, and means for cutting each connecting element from said unit when the anchoring body of the element considered is thrust along the slot of said needle, the improvement in which the casing is provided with a transverse wall forming a compartment and said kinematic mechanism which feeds the connecting elements in continuous succession is wholly contained in a box-like piece housed in a freely removable manner in said compartment without fixed connection to the other members of the device, whereby in the case of a fault said piece is easily removable from the said device and replaceable therein.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
195 words
In a device for fixing labels to fabrics and the like by means of connecting elements consisting of a button and an anchoring body connected by a thin filament, comprising a casing, a hollow needle containing a longitudinal slot extending outwardly of said casing, a piston within said casing which thrusts said anchoring body forward along said slot of the needle, a kinematic mechanism which feeds in continuous succession said connecting elements assembled to form a unit in such a manner that the anchoring body of each element is each time brought into alignment with said needle, and means for cutting each connecting element from said unit when the anchoring body of the element considered is thrust along the slot of said needle, the improvement in which the casing is provided with a transverse wall forming a compartment and said kinematic mechanism which feeds the connecting elements in continuous succession is wholly contained in a box-like piece housed in a freely removable manner in said compartment without fixed connection to the other members of the device, whereby in the case of a fault said piece is easily removable from the said device and replaceable therein.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, in which said means for cutting each connecting element comprise a cutting tongue forming part of said box-like piece.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, in which said kinematic mechanism which feeds the connecting elements in continuous succession is operated by a spring housed in said box-like piece which is loaded by the release of an operating lever of said piston.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A device as claimed in claim 3, in which the connecting elements are fed by a toothed gear element operatively connected to said spring.
