Abstract
In a connected fastener assembly, the shaft sections of multiple fasteners are connected using a connecting band made of a synthetic resin. Retaining sections for allowing the shaft sections of the fasteners to be inserted therein and connecting sections for connecting the adjacent retaining sections are formed continuously. The connecting sections are offset from the center line “a” connecting the centers of the adjacent fasteners (retaining sections).
