Abstract
The invention relates to the joining of one web, e.g., of camouflage material to a carrier net or the like with the aid of fastener devices comprising male fastener parts (10) provided with pins or like elements which are hammered into complementary holes in female fastener parts (12). The female and male fastener parts are banded together by means of plastic wires moulded along the sides of the fastener parts and are separated subsequent to being brought to a fastener applying position (40) from a respective magazine (30,41). the male fastener parts are banded with the pins positioned in the direction of the band, while the holes provided in the female fastener parts face at right angles to the band direction. The bands are advanced by means of pawl-mechanisms (32-36 and 43-48) respectively). The invention relates to the banded fastener devices, a method of manufacturing the devices and a machine for applying the devices.
