Abstract
A universal simplified riveter, characterized by a telescopic housing consisting of two sliding pieces that are superposed so that it can be installed in a reversible drill of any brand, model, or shape, with said pieces being extended by covering the rotating part of the drill, thus protecting the hand of the operator when holding the riveter by its nonslip ergonomic exterior. Two design embodiments permit two ways of installation on the drill: in the chuck as a drill bit or over said drill bit without removing it.
Claims5
A universal riveter for attachment to reversible drill machines, the universal riveter usable to form double winged hollow rivets, the universal riveter comprising:
- a multipart telescopic housing including:
- (i) an exterior body means that an user of the universal riveter can grip by hand for positioning the universal riveter, said exterior body means not being rotatable in response to rotational power provided to the universal riveter by an attached reversible drill machine;
- (ii) an interior housing means for containing both (a) a drive piece means for connecting said universal riveter to a chuck portion of the reversible drill machine so that rotational power provided by the reversible drill machine rotates said drive piece means within said interior housing means, and (b) a spindle means for moving an interior grip means connected to said spindle means within said interior housing means to pull a rivet mandrel retained by said interior grip means so that a rivet ball head at the end of the rivet mandrel forms a rivet sleeve having one rivet wing into a double winged hollow rivet as said interior grip means pulls the rivet ball head against the rivet sleeve, said spindle means is restrained by said interior housing means from rotating within said interior housing means in response to rotational power provided to said drive piece means by the reversible drill machine, said exterior body means mounted on the outside of said interior housing means so that said exterior body means can be axially moved along a length of said interior housing means, said interior housing means not being rotatable in response to rotational power provided to said drive piece means by the reversible drill machine;
- and
- (iii) a spring means positioned between said exterior body means and said interior housing means for opposing axial movement of said exterior body means with respect to said interior housing means;
- wherein said telescopic housing can be opened by axial displacement of said exterior body means to move a portion of said interior housing means out of said exterior body means to permit connection of a portion of said drive piece means to the chuck of the reversible drill machine, and said telescopic housing can be closed by having forces provided by said spring means move said exterior body means to cover said drive piece means extending out from said interior housing means.
