Abstract
A riveter comprises a turnable jaw case is disclosed. A jaw case tubular housing (170) is turnably supported by the forward end portion of the frame main body (101,) and lockable in a plurality of positions angularly spaced from each other. The orientation of the jaw case housing is easily changeable in accordance with the shape of the work to be riveted or with other conditions, so that rivets are settable very efficiently with only one riveter for any work irrespective of its shape.
Claims3
A riveter having a lever (120, 220, 320) pivoted to a frame main body (101) and reciprocally turnable relative to the frame to reciprocate a jaw case (160, 460), the riveter comprising a turnable jaw case actuating support member (140, 240, 340, 440) disposed within a forward end portion of the frame main body (101) and mounted on a pivot for supporting the lever (120, 220, 320) on the frame main body (101), coupling means capable of locking the actuating support member (140, 240, 340, 440)
- in a plurality of positions relative to the lever (120, 220, 320) and displaced from each other through a predetermined angle (.theta.), the jaw case (160, 460) being turnably supported by the actuating support member (140, 240, 340, 440) eccentrically of the pivot and reciprocally movable straight by reciprocal turn of the lever (120, 220, 320) through reciprocal turn of the actuating support member (140, 240, 340, 440) connected thereto, and a jaw case tubular housing (170) turnably supported by the forward end portion of the frame main body (101) and lockable in a plurality of positions angularly spaced from each other by the same angle as the angle of displacement (.theta.).
