20090031545 | RIVET GUN - A rivet gun for setting a self-tapping rivet in one or more work pieces has a tool body having a handle for gripping, a rotation assembly having a motor attached to an axially adjustable shaft and a chuck to thereby impart rotation to the chuck adapted to grip and rotate the shank of the self-tapping rivet. A hydraulic assembly having a pull bushing is connected to a piston rod attached to a piston and a retraction assembly having a mandrel clamp and a mandrel clamp ring is connected to a spring guide biased toward the mandrel clamp by a spring to thereby compress the mandrel clamp to grip and retract the shank, set the self-tapping rivet in the work pieces and detach the shank from the self-tapping rivet. | 02-05-2009 |
20080210060 | RIVET SETTING DEVICE FOR SETTING SELF-TAPPING RIVETS - A rivet setting device for setting a self-tapping rivet in a work piece includes a rotatable head for rotating a self-tapping rivet to form a hole in the work piece and a shank retracting assembly for compressing and spreading the hollow body of the self-tapping rivet, allowing the head of the self-tapping rivet to detach from the shank upon application of a predetermined tensile force. The rotatable head comprises a clutch having a body enclosing a plurality of bearings circumferentially located around the shank, for gripping the shank. The clutch is formed with a plurality of tapered channels for urging the bearings into engagement with the shank upon rotation of the clutch. | 09-04-2008 |
