Abstract
A hand blind riveter having an oil-pressure actuator to change an improve the originally labor-consuming operation thereof to an effort-saving and highly efficient operation by transmitting working power through oil pressure produced by the oil-pressure actuator.
Claims1
A hand blind riveter having a slidable blind rivet holder, a movable operating handle, and an oil-pressure means mounted between said slidable blind rivet holder and said movable operating handle wherein said oil-pressure means comprises:
- a housing located on the hand blind riveter and containing hydraulic fluid;
- a first piston slidably mounted in a first chamber in the housing having a first piston rod extending externally of the housing with an outer end connected to a working end of said operating handle such that movement of the operating handle causes movement of the first piston;
- a second piston slidably mounted in a second chamber in the housing having a second piston rod extending externally Of the housing with an outer end connected to said slidable blind rivet holder;
- first and second hydraulic fluid passageways, each connecting the first and second chambers, respectively;
- and, first and second check valves, one check valve located in each of the first and second hydraulic fluid passageways whereby when the movable operating handle is moved, said first piston is pushed inward to produce a pressure which is transmitted via hydraulic fluid through said first passageway and said first check valve to push said second piston outward, said outward moving second piston pulling said slidable blind rivet holder allowing a riveting action to be highly efficiently and effortless completed.
