[Prior Art] Fixture placement tools have become a common tool in the construction industry. The ability to fully drive a fastener only by pulling the trigger is significantly more efficient than hammering or screwing the fastener. Traditionally, the mounting tool has required that the fasteners be loaded into the mounting tool one at a time before they can be driven into the workpiece. More recently, 'placement tools have included a library of spring loaded fixtures' for automatic loading, which significantly increases the rate at which a large number of fasteners can be driven. These tool libraries are expanded relative to the function in the form of a carrier tape by the presence of fastener fixtures. A wide range of variability fixtures are now available for use with the placement tool. This variability is required to satisfy the special p$ of the workpiece to be joined together. One common variation in a fixture is its diameter. Fixtures of different diameters can be used in different tool magazines and mounting tools. At best, the 201024552 has a library' to ensure proper feeding of the fasteners. This configuration requires a user to use fasteners of different diameters to have a majority of tool magazines or most of the mounting tools' and additional time may be required when the tool magazine is replaced to accommodate different diameter fasteners. This results in inefficiency and, therefore, is not desirable. [1] A carrier tape system includes a plurality of discrete carrier tapes that respectively receive fasteners of substantially different sizes, the carrier tapes having a grouped engagement The internal features of the fasteners, the carrier belts having substantially identical outer dimensions, the outer dimensions being substantially symmetrical with respect to a virtual surface, the virtual surface being the axis of the plurality of discrete fasteners The contents are defined and the outer dimensions are engageable with a single mounting tool magazine such that the differently sized fasteners have a consistent alignment within a single mounting tool magazine. A method of presenting a substantially differently sized fastener to a single mounting tool through a single mounting tool library 'comprises the internal dimensions of a plurality of discrete carrier tapes to a certain size to substantially engage discrete fasteners of different sizes'. The discrete fixtures are loaded into the plurality of discrete carrier belts; and maintaining the outer dimensions of the plurality of discrete carrier belts such that the plurality of discrete carrier belts are engageable in a single mounting tool magazine by at least the external dimensions, The discrete fixtures are aligned consistently with respect to a single mounting tool library. [Embodiment] -6 - 201024552 With regard to the above-discussed shortcomings of the prior art, it is currently commemorated that the fixing members of the diameter are allowed to rotate in the same tool library in which the tools are placed. In order to make this application possible, a fixture carrier tape must remain the same except for the different fastener diameters and still hold the anchor in place. Furthermore, since the mounting tool magazine uses the diameter surface of the piece as an additional guiding surface, the narrower straight fixing member will be utilized in the same mounting tool magazine, and when the 0 small diameter is used, The piece must be able to accommodate the guiding function for the larger diameter fixture. Referring to Figure 1, a large diameter carrier belt assembly 1 is illustrated, comprising: a large fixture 2, a large diameter head end detachment made up of a plurality of head end segments 5, and a plurality of tip segments 7 made of Large Diameter Tip Release Tape 6 The carrier tape assembly 1 is illustrated in a condition in which the carrier tape assembly is loaded with a fastener mounting tool, such as a combustion drive securing system. Referring to Figure 2, each of the head end segments 5 has a hole 12 through the head end segment φ, and each tip segment 7 has a hole through the tip segment. The length of the segment 5 to the segment 5 in the head end detachment tape 4 is equal to the pitch of the segment 7 to the segment 7 of the detachment tape 6, so that the hole 12 to the hole pitch will be the same as the hole 14 to the hole 14. The holes 12 and 14 are designed to establish an interference fit with the outer diameter 3 of the large diameter fixing member 2. The engagement maintains the relative positions of the large-diameter head end detachment belt 4, the large-diameter tip tape 6, and the (or the like) large-diameter fixing member 2. As mentioned above, there are several registerers for use in tool magazines (not shown) which are diametrical and axial. These are shown in the middle of the path to the fixed diameter of the outer diameter of the diameter I band 4 . The size of the hole 14 between the tips 12 of the hole 12 can be separated from the carrier register 201024552 to form the surface of the component of the large diameter carrier belt assembly 1 to ensure that the large diameter carrier belt assembly 1 will be in the tool The library and placement tools (not shown) are properly guided and indexed. Diameters 8 and 9 are registered in the tool magazine to ensure proper alignment of the fasteners 2 prior to firing by the fastener placement tool. The diameter 8 is directly beyond the radial surface 16 of the head end segment 5 in the direction of the tip end of the fixture 2, and the diameter 9 is directly beyond the radial surface of the tip segment 7 in the direction of the tip end of the fixture 2. 20. The radial surfaces 18 and 20 are also registered in the tool magazine to properly seat the fixture 2 in an axial direction prior to its launch by the fixture mounting tool. A radial surface 18 is formed on the tip end of the segment 7, and a radial surface 20 is formed on the tip end of the segment 7. Since surface 18 and surface 20 are formed on the same component, segment 7, the distance between them can be properly controlled. As can be readily seen in Figure 2, the segments 5 and 7 are around a virtual surface defined by the contents of the fastener 2 and the axes of the segments 5 and 7 that make up the carrier tape 1. Symmetrical. This symmetry allows the fastener mounting tool to contact the segments 5, 7 from either or both sides of the virtual surface and thereby properly align the fixtures 2 with respect to the fixture mounting tool. Since it is not necessary to guide the carrier tape 1 into the two orientations relative to the tool magazine, the symmetry of the carrier tape 1 also allows the carrier tape 1 to be installed into the fixture in one of the two orientations. The tool library of tools' makes it easier and faster to load the carrier tape 1 into the tool library. Referring to Figure 3, a small diameter carrier belt assembly 10 is illustrated which includes a small diameter fastener 22, a small diameter tip end strip 24 formed from a plurality of head end segments 25, and a plurality of tips The small diameter tip made by the segment 27 is off the belt 24, 201024552. The carrier tape assembly 10 is described in a condition wherein the carrier tape assembly can be loaded, for example, into a fastener mounting tool, such as a combustion drive fixed mounting tool. Referring to Figure 4, each of the head end segments 25 has a hole 42 extending through the head end segment, and each tip segment 27 has a hole 44 therethrough. The spacing of the segments 25 to the segments 25 in the head end detachment strip 24 is equal to the spacing of the segments 27 to the segments 27 of the tip detachment strip 26, such that the spacing of the holes 42 to the holes ▲ 42 will be the same as the spacing of the holes 44 to the holes 44, The spacing of the holes 44 to the holes 44 also matches the spacing of the holes 1 2 to the holes 12 of the large diameter head end detachment band 4. The holes 42 and 44 are sized to establish an interference fit with the outer diameter 23 of the small diameter fastener 22. The interference fit maintains the relative position of the small diameter head end detachment belt 24, the small diameter tip detachment belt 26, and the (equal) small diameter fastener 22. As described earlier, there are several registerers for guiding the large diameter carrier belt assembly 1 in the tool magazine of the fixture mounting tool. The surface on the component of the small diameter carrier tape assembly 1 that interfaces with the register in the tool magazine φ must therefore match the surface from the large diameter carrier tape assembly 1 so that the small diameter carrier tape The component 1 is properly fed into the tool magazine of the fixture mounting tool. Thus, the segment 27 constituting the small diameter tip carrier tape 26 has a surface that matches the segment 7 of the large diameter tip carrier tape 6. In particular, the radial surfaces 48 and the radial surfaces 50 will be registered in the tool magazine, just as the radial surfaces 18 and the radial surfaces 20 are indeed used for the large diameter head end segments 5°. Again, the radial surface 48 of the split segment 27 and the axis of the radial surface 5's axis 201024552 are distance-matched to the axial distance of the radial surface is of the segment 7 from the radial surface 20. Thereby, the large diameter fixture carrier belt 1 or the small diameter fastener carrier belt 10 is allowed to be axially registered in a single-tool magazine. Similarly, the diameter registration surfaces are also matched. In particular, the diameter 28 of the segment 25 directly positioned beyond the radial surface 46 matches the diameter 8 of the large diameter fastener shank. The fact that the diameter 28 is formed as part of the segment 25, whereas the diameter 8 is formed as part of the fastener 2 does not affect the registration in the tool library as long as the diameters are substantially equal. The registration surface from the other diameter of the large diameter carrier belt 1 is the diameter 9 of the large diameter fastener shank. Therefore, the diameter 29 of the segment 27 matches the diameter 9 of the large diameter fixing member 2. Referring to Figure 5, a variable diameter carrier belt assembly 1 说明 is illustrated. The carrier tape assembly 1A includes a plurality of varying diameter fasteners 110, a varying diameter head end detachment strip 114 made up of a plurality of head end segments 118, and a varying diameter tip made up of a plurality of tip segments 126. Release the belt 122. The carrier tape assembly 1 is described in a condition in which the carrier tape assembly can be loaded, for example, into a fastener mounting tool, such as a combustion drive fixed mounting tool. Referring to Figure 6, a cross-sectional view of the varying diameter carrier belt assembly 1 is illustrated. One of the varying diameter fixing members 110 is shown to have a first diameter portion 1 30 and a second diameter portion 1 3 4 such that the first diameter portion 1 3 0 is a portion smaller than the second diameter portion 1 3 4 Larger diameter. The first varying diameter portion 138 transforms the first diameter portion 130 to the second diameter portion 134. The first varying diameter portion 138 of the particular embodiment has a frustoconical shape, however, other transition shapes can be employed between the first diameter portion 130 and the second diameter portion 134 of the 201024552. Similarly, the second varying diameter portion 142 transforms the second diameter portion 134 to a point 146 of the fixture 110 having a frustoconical shape. Point 146 of this embodiment has a flat surface that intercepts the second varying diameter portion 142, however, other embodiments may have other point geometries, such as a small spherical radius at the top. Each of the head end segments 118 has a hole 150' through the head end segment and each tip segment 126 has a hole 154 therethrough. The spacing of the segments 118 to the segments 118 in the head end detachment tape 114 is equal to the spacing of the segments 126 to the segments 126 of the tip detachment band 122, such that the hole 150 to hole 150 pitch will be the same as the hole 154 to the hole 154. The spacing of the holes 154 to 154 also matches the spacing of the holes 12 to the holes 12 of the large diameter head end detachment strip 4. The holes 15 and 154 are sized to establish an interference fit with the first diameter portion 130 and the second diameter portion 134, respectively. The varying diameter head end detachment belt 1 14 is maintained by the friction generated by the interference fit, the varying diameter tip detachment belt 1 22, and the relative position of the varying diameter φ stator 1 1 。. Since a portion of the first diameter portion 130 is also axially positioned within the hole 150, a portion 158 of the first varying diameter portion 138 is axially positioned The facts within the aperture 150 are acceptable. Thus, the interference fit of the portion 162 of the first diameter portion 130 with the hole 150 provides the required friction to maintain the opposite diameter of the head end from the belt U4 relative to the fixture U0. position. Similarly, since a portion of the second diameter portion 134 is also axially positioned within the aperture 154, a portion of the second varying diameter portion 146 is 16 The fact that 2 is axially positioned within the bore 154 is acceptable. Thus, the interference fit of the portion 170 of the second diameter -11 - 201024552 portion 134 with the aperture 154 provides the desired friction to maintain the relative position of the varying diameter tip detachment strap 122 from the fastener 110. The varying diameter carrier belt assembly has a plurality of registerers for guiding the carrier belt assembly 100 within a tool magazine of the fastener mounting tool. The register of the carrier tape assembly 100 interfaces with the register in the tool magazine, and also matches the register from the large diameter carrier tape assembly 1 so that the carrier tape assembly 100 is properly fed. The fixture houses a tool library for the tool. In particular, the segment 126 has a surface that matches the segment 7 of the large diameter tip carrier strip 6. For example, radial surfaces 174 and 178 are registered within the tool magazine, as are the radial surfaces 18 and 20 for the large diameter head end segment 5. Moreover, the axial distance of the radial surface 174 of the split segment 126 from the radial surface 178 matches the axial distance of the radial surface 18 of the segment 7 from the radial surface 20, thereby allowing the large diameter fastener carrier tape 1 or one of the varying diameter carrier belt assemblies 100 is axially registered within a single tool magazine. Likewise, the diameter registration surface also matches equally. In particular, the diameters 134 directly below the radial surface 186 of the segments 18 (in the planes) match the diameters 8, additionally directly diametrically matching the diameters 182 below the radial surfaces 178 These diameters are 9. In this embodiment, the diameters 134 are part of the fixture 1 1 ,, and in another embodiment the diameter 134 can be, for example, on a portion of the segments 118. For example, by having a register diameter, such as a diameter 134 directly below the radial surface 186 and a diameter 182 directly below the radial surface 178, the diameters are at the carrier belt assemblies 1, 10, and 1 The 201024552 of the various embodiments of the cymbal is consistent and will be assumed to be assembled to the same fixture mounting tool library and subsequently assembled to the fixture mounting tool. Referring to Figure 7, a cross-sectional view of the varying diameter carrier belt assembly 200 is illustrated. The carrier tape assembly 200 is similar to the carrier tape assembly 100 in that a head end segment U8 and a tip segment 12 6 for use in the carrier tape assembly 100 are also used in the carrier tape assembly 200. By using the same segments 1 18, 126, the carrier tape assembly 200 ensures assembly and functioning within the same mounting tools and tool magazines used by the carrier tape assembly 100. The difference between the carrier belt assembly ring 200 and the carrier belt assembly 1 is that the carrier belt assembly 200 uses a variable diameter fixing member 2 1 0, and the fixing members 2 1 0 are compared to the carrier belt assembly 1 The varying diameter fixture 110 used in the crucible is shorter. In fact, the fixing members 210 are so short that they fail to extend beyond the radial surface 2丨4 in the direction of the point 2 18 of the fixing member 2 10 , which is the radial surface 214 The farthest part of the belt assembly 200. The only limitation in the length of the fixing member 210 is that the second diameter portion 134 has a portion φ 222 extending in the diameter 154. The portion 22; 2 is long enough for the fixing member 210 and the tip end to be loaded. A frictional engagement is provided between the belts 1 26 to position them in position relative to each other. Thus, one embodiment of the invention disclosed in FIG. 7 allows the use of fasteners in a tool magazine and a mounting tool that receives the tool magazine, the fasteners being dimensioned (in at least one direction) The guide strips 118, 126 are relatively small, and the fasteners are mounted and secured through the guide strips.
