Abstract
A mechanical riveter comprising a slideway with rivet-gripping jaw assembly slidable in said slideway to be pulled by a rod. A pivot and guide pin at the other end of the slideway pivotally carries a pair of squeezable handles and a pair of links, each pivoted between a handle and the end of the rod, so that when the handles are squeezed, the links pull the rod down and away from the nosepiece, guided through a bore through the pivot guide pin.
