Abstract
A fastener dispensing device having an improved fastener feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes a friction wheel rotatably supported on the device adjacent the guide groove for the fastener assembly and abutting against the connection necks of the fasteners. A support plate is mounted coaxially with the friction wheel and is adapted to pivot when the operation lever of the device is pivoted. A wheel driving member is pivotably supported on the support plate and includes a projecting portion which selectively engages the friction wheel with the projecting portion engaging and rotating the friction wheel when the operation lever is pivoted to cause the friction wheel to move the fastener assembly so that the next fastener is moved to a prescribed discharge position to be pushed through the hollow needle of the dispensing device.
