Jun 1, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/585134

Inventors:

Stephen H. Albertson - Lake Forest CA, US
John C. Gallagher - Anaheim CA, US
Vlasta A. Albertson - Lake Forest CA, US

Assignee:

Trackers Company - Irvine CA

International Classification:

F16B 15/00
F16B 19/00

US Classification:

411439, 411 13, 411377, 411903, 403 27

Abstract:

A method of categorizing fasteners and construction connectors by size and type using a color coding system. Each fastener receives a designated and distinct color contained on the surface that is exposed before and after installation. The colors are preselected to define one or more physical properties of the fasteners. A color key is provided to determine the physical properties of the fasteners based on the coloring of exposed portions of the inserted fasteners. Similarly, construction connectors receive a designated and distinct color contained on the surface that is exposed before and after installation. The color represented on the surface of the construction connector is such that the corresponding fastener is the same color.
