    摘要: Provided are self-aligning riveting tools and methods of utilizing such tools for installing rivets. A tool includes an aligning sleeve, which is slidably coupled to a first die. Furthermore, the tool includes a die holder, which is slidably coupled to a second die. During operation, the aligning sleeve is positioned over the rivet head thereby axially aligning the first die relative to the rivet, even before the first die contacts the rivet head. The second die contacts the rivet shank end thereby axially aligning the rivet relative to the second die and the die holder. Advancing the die holder toward the first die first clamps the rivet in the tool and then proceed with forming the rivet tail. The rivet remains coaxial with both dies during all of these operations.

    摘要: Fastener delivery apparatus for automatically selecting and delivering fasteners such as rivets to a setting tool. The fasteners are pre-loaded in a package and dispense via at least one fastener delivery tube that interconnects the setting tool to a fastener feeder device. The fastener feeder device releases selected fasteners from the package into the delivery tube. The fasteners are transportable individually or in groups in the tube from the feeder device to the tool. A transfer station attached to the tool or the delivery tube transfers a fastener from the delivery apparatus into the tool, transfer station is adjacent to the tool so that a delivered fastener may be inserted by the transfer station into the tool and a second position in which it is clear of the tool so as to permit the tool or a portion thereof to move towards a workpiece to insert a smooth, rapid and reliable delivery of fasteners of various sizes and types to the nose of a setting tool in any particular order and provides all the fastener types for any particular work cycle.
