| 20090106972 | APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR INSTALLING RIVETS IN BELT FASTENERS - A system for splicing a conveyor belt with belt fasteners is disclosed. A base assembly aligns the belt, belt fasteners and rivet holes thereof with swage structures for securing the rivets. A guide assembly has a rigid guide block with cylindrical pilot holes, and a guide membrane of resilient material. Guide pins are receivable by guide bores for aligning the base and guide assemblies with the pilot holes, rivet holes, and swage structures in registry. The guide membrane including openings aligned with the pilot holes. The openings have a pair of slits defining flaps deflectable to permit the rivet to pass therethrough, and a central hole or cut-out. The flaps and the cut-out assist in centering the rivet with the belt fastener rivet holes. The system uses a single-rivet driver, a multi-rivet driver, a pneumatic driver, or an electric hammer. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20100287766 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FASTENING A DECORATIVE ITEM TO CLOTHING - An apparatus for attaching a decorative item, such as a flower, to clothing. The apparatus may include a first section having a first slot, a second section having a second slot, and a connecting section which connects the first section and the second section. The apparatus may also include a first attachment device, such as a first pin, connected to the first section, wherein the first attachment device is closer to the first section than the second section, and a second attachment device, such as a second pin, connected to the second section, wherein the second attachment device is closer to the second section than the first section. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20100306996 | PIERCE NUT INSTALLATION TOOL - The present invention is premised upon an improved pierce nut installation device for use between a top and a bottom plate of a press or die tool. The device is used for installing pierce nuts onto a panel for receiving the pierce nuts (with or without a pre-punched hole). The device at least includes an installation punch with a top punch portion and a bottom punch portion, wherein the top punch portion is connected to the top plate of the press or die tool and a base assembly with a top base portion and a bottom base portion. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110173803 | SELF-PIERCING RIVET SETTING MACHINE - A self-piercing rivet setting machine comprises a C-shaped arm and a receiver section disposed at one end of the C-shaped arm to receive a self-piercing rivet fed from a feeder. The receiver section has a rivet-reach detection sensor to detect the presence or absence of a self-piercing rivet in a driving chamber therein. If the rivet-reach detection sensor detects the absence of any self-piercing rivet in the driving chamber, the sensor outputs a signal to prevent a punch from being driven. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20120159776 | JOINING MEANS - In the invention, a joining means having a ram tool, a countertool and a holder with an opening to accommodate the ram tool or the countertool, is described. The two tools are arranged coaxial with each other at different ends of a C-bracket. The invention is distinguished in that the holder comprises at least one plane contact surface arranged on the outer surface of the holder, resting in contact with at least one plane face of the corresponding end of the C-bracket and detachably fastened thereto. Between the contact surface and the face, at least one interlay is arranged, determining the information and/or the distance of the contact surface from the face. | 06-28-2012 |
| 20140007424 | Joining Means - In the invention, a joining means having a ram tool, a countertool and a holder with an opening to accommodate the ram tool or the countertool, is described. The two tools are arranged coaxial with each other at different ends of a C-bracket. The holder comprises at least one plane contact surface arranged on the outer surface of the holder, resting in contact with at least one plane face of the corresponding end of the C-bracket and detachably fastened thereto. Between the contact surface and the face, at least one interlay is arranged, determining the information and/or the distance of the contact surface from the face. | 01-09-2014 |
| 20140230242 | INDEXING SELF-PIERCING DIE RIVETER - A self-piercing die riveter having an indexable die table on the nose of its frame. The die table has a number of dies disposed thereon. The frame defines a first passage and a second passage in communication with and diverging from the first passage. An actuator for indexing the die table is located on the riveter outside of the nose of the frame and is connected to the die table through either shafts or belts disposed within the first and second passages. The die table has a number of detents that cooperate with a locating arm to hinder indexing of the die table and position the dies in-line with the path of a reciprocating punch. | 08-21-2014 |
