Embodiment Construction

[0031] Some specific embodiments are shown in the drawings and will be described in detail herein. At this time, it should be understood that the disclosure made herein should be considered as illustrating the principles of the invention, rather than limiting the invention to the illustrated ones. like that. The present invention can be realized in various forms of embodiments.

[0032] figure 1 Shown is a first embodiment of the invention wherein a flexible tube 10, such as a polypropylene tube, carries the rivet 12 to the tool. Rivet 12 is preferably conveyed along a guide wire 14, such as a steel cable. The guide wire 14 may or may not be welded to the mandrel in the tool. If a guide wire is not used, the length of the rivet must be longer than its width to prevent the rivet from tipping over in the tube 10 . Preferably, the rivet is blown through the tube using air using a guide wire 14 .

Abstract

An autofeed speed rivet tool (22) and method which does not require a mandrel (40) to be constantly withdrawn and re-stocked, is very efficient and can be used in a flow line application without requiring the line to be stopped to re-load the tool (22) with rivets (12). A flexible tube (10) carries rivets (12) to a tool (22), along a guide wire (14). A flexible, inner tube (16) may carry the rivets (12), and nylon balls (18) may be provided on an outer tube (20) where the nylon balls (18) work as joints, and allow the outer tube (20) to compress without shortening the center line. The tool (22) may incorporate a plurality of inventive concepts, such as spoons (46) with pivotable blades (56) which grip the mandrel very much forward of the end of the mandrel (40), a transfer mechanism (212), rivet centering mechanisms (384) and a mechanism for longitudinally managing the mandrel (386).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to tools and methods for installing rivets, and more particularly to a self-feeding rapid riveting tool and a method of installing rivets using the self-feeding rapid riveting tool, the self-feeding rapid riveting tool being An example is a self-feeding fast riveting tool used in medium-sized applications (ie, 1-5 million rivets per year). Background technique [0002] While there are small self-feed riveting tools for handling smaller operations and expensive seat riveting tools for larger operations, riveting tools that can be taken to the field to handle medium-sized operations are not widely available. [0003] Existing hand tools use mandrels that can hold approximately 35 rivets. After the 35 rivets have been shot, the rivets must be stocked again for the mandrel. This requires withdrawing the mandrel from the tool and installing a new chain of rivets (initially set by gluing to a piece of peelable paper)...
