Abstract
A fastener installation head having a nut receiving passage, a transverse plunger passage, a plunger reciprocating in the plunger passage through the intersection of the passages and a guide means for the nuts in the plunger passage. The guide means includes a pair of parallel rails generally in the plane of the nut supporting surface of the nut passage, supporting a nut beneath the plunger. The rails are resiliently biased to support the nut until impact by the plunger. Further, a resilient pad parallel to the reciprocating axis of the plunger is provided to guide the nut through the plunger passage.
