Abstract
A blind riveting device is provided, which is adapted for engagement to a handle having a powered translating member projecting therefrom. Force from the translating member imparted to a drive piston moves a second piston to pull a blind rivet connected to a jaw engaged with the second piston, thereby mounting the blind rivet.
Claims9
A blind riveting apparatus, comprising:
- a drive cylinder having a first end opposite a second end and having a drive cylinder axis;
- a drive piston translatable within said drive cylinder;
- a second cylinder having a first end and having a second end opposite said first end, and having a second cylinder axis running therebetween;
- said drive cylinder in a connection to said second cylinder;
- a second piston translatable within said second cylinder between a first position and a second position, along said second cylinder axis;
- said second end of said second cylinder having an aperture for positioning a blind rivet therein;
- a jaw engaged with said second piston, said jaw for positioning a mandrel of said blind rivet within the aperture;
- a fluid passage communicating between said drive cylinder to said second cylinder;
- said fluid passage running within a flexible conduit having a first end thereof engaged with said drive cylinder and having a second end thereof engaged with said second cylinder;
- translation of said drive piston in a first direction, toward said second end of said drive cylinder forcing a fluid held in said drive cylinder through said fluid passage in a first fluid direction and into said second cylinder;
- said fluid entering said second cylinder from said fluid passage causing said second piston to translate from said first position to said second position thereof;
- said second piston biased toward said first position thereof;
- a coupling at said first end of said drive cylinder, said coupling for forming a removable engagement between said drive cylinder and said handle, said handle having a powered drive member therein;
- and
- whereby, with said drive cylinder in said engagement with said handle, a translation of said drive member therein against said drive piston moves said drive piston in said drive cylinder in said first direction thereof.
