Tools and methods are disclosed for automatically capturing debris generated during rivet installation using an autoloading rivet gun. In some examples, an autoloading rivet installation device includes a hand-held rivet gun and an automatic loader which uses a first actuator having a shaft oriented parallel to a longitudinal plane of the rivet gun. A second actuator is coupled to the rivet gun and has an orientation orthogonal to the first actuator, such that the second actuator is configured to transition a magnet laterally between a plurality of positions relative to the longitudinal plane to capture ferromagnetic debris. The magnet may, for example, be disposed on a load arm of the loader, and the second actuator may be configured to translate the loader's first actuator from side to side.

A set of nosepieces are configured to attach to a rivet setting tool. The set of nosepieces comprises a first nosepiece with a longitudinal bore having a first diameter and an O-ring having a first color, and a second nosepiece with a longitudinal bore having a second diameter that is different than the first diameter and an O-ring having a second color that is different than the first color.

A blind rivet fastening device including a dual function clutch device. The clutch releases at the rear end position RP of the pulling head and the clutch slips at the home position HP. The device includes a spindle clutch axially movable with respect to the spindle and integrally rotated, and a nut clutch integrally formed with the ball screw nut. The spindle clutch can move in the axial direction and can release from the nut clutch. The spindle clutch also has a first segment portion; one end of the first segment portion is a vertical plane and the other end is a slanted plane. The nut clutch has second segment portions of complementary shape. When the pulling head reaches the rear end position RP, the clutch is disengaged. When the pulling head returns to the home position HP, the inclined faces of the clutch slip with each other.

A jaw assembly for a rivet setting tool the jaw assembly including a plurality of jaws each jaw defining part of an interlocking mechanism and an oppositely located part of another interlocking mechanism wherein adjacent jaws interlock via engagement of the parts of the interlocking mechanisms of the respective jaws for enabling radial movement of the jaws relative to each other while restricting axial movement of the jaws relative to each other.

A riveting device (1) has a collection container (2) for rivet mandrel remnants and a support structure (3) for the collection container (2). A fixing mechanism is provided for the riveting device (1) which is set up in such a way that the collection container (2) is to be brought into a fixing position (B) on the support structure (3) by a translational movement with respect to the support structure (3) along a spatial axis (A). The fixing mechanism is furthermore set up in such a way that the collection container (2) is to be released from the fixing position (B) by a rotational movement with respect to the support structure (3) around the spatial axis (A). Furthermore, the present disclosure comprises a collection container (2) for rivet mandrel remnants and a method for mounting and removing such a collection container (2).

A riveting device has a device housing, a riveting tool and a drive for actuating the riveting tool. The riveting tool has a mouthpiece and a mandrel holder that can be moved relative to the mouthpiece along an operative axis. The drive has a spindle gear with a threaded spindle, and a spindle nut operatively connected thereto. The threaded spindle is operatively connected to the mandrel holder for movement along the operative axis. A support structure provides axial support of the spindle nut. A tool housing is axially supported on the mouthpiece and axially supported on the support structure via a flange. The mandrel holder is received axially moveably in the tool housing. A supporting structure supports the tool housing. The tool housing is held on the supporting structure by a retaining structure. The retaining structure and the supporting structure are connected to each other via a bayonet lock.

A riveting device has a riveting tool and a drive device for actuating the riveting tool. A mandrel holder can be moved relative to the mouthpiece along an operative axis. The drive device has a drive element which is set up to be moved along the operative axis in order to drive the mandrel holder. The drive element is connected directly or indirectly via a screw connection to the mandrel holder and the screw connection is formed by rotating the mandrel holder and the drive element relative to each other around a rotational axis. A locking element is in a locking position in which the mandrel holder is mechanically blocked against rotation around the rotational axis relative to the drive element in a rotational position. The locking element is brought into the locking position by a movement performed radially relative to the rotational axis.

A riveting device (1) includes a riveting tool (10), an electromechanical drive device (30) and a device housing (50) which receives the electromechanical drive device (30). The electromechanical drive device (30) includes an electric motor (31) having an output shaft (31.1) and a spindle gear (32) which is operatively connected to said output shaft. The spindle gear (32) is set up to convert a rotational drive movement coming from the output shaft (31.1) into a translational drive movement which acts along an operative axis (W) to actuate the riveting tool (10). The spindle gear (32) is mounted radially in relation to the operative axis (W) via a radial bearing (33) in a bearing housing (34). To reduce the overall size, the bearing housing (34) is formed on the device housing (50).

The present disclosure comprises a riveting device (1) having a device housing (5), a riveting tool (10) and a drive device (30) in the device housing (5) for actuating the riveting tool (10). The riveting tool (10) has a mouthpiece (11) and a mandrel holder (12) that can be moved relative to the mouthpiece (11) along an operative axis (w). The drive device (30) has a threaded spindle (33) which has a feed thread (33.3), is operatively connected to the mandrel holder (12) and is configured to move along the operative axis (W). The threaded spindle (33) is formed as a hollow spindle having a through hole (40) extending in the direction of its longitudinal extension, and the threaded spindle (33) is assigned a torque arm (41) which secures the threaded spindle (33) against rotation relative to the device housing (5). The torque arm (41) is fixed on the threaded spindle (33) via the through hole (40) to improve the compactness.
