The present invention provides a rivet gun including a first handle, a second handle, a transmission mechanism, and a clamping-pulling mechanism. The first handle is fixedly connected or integrated with a housing limiting the clamping-pulling mechanism, and the second handle is rotatable around a first fixed shaft relative to the first handle; the clamping-pulling mechanism includes a pull rod with gear grooves thereon; the transmission mechanism includes a gear member with a gear end rotatable around a second fixed shaft, the gear end of the gear member being configured to engage with the gear grooves on the pull rod; and the second handle is connected to the transmission mechanism, and configured to drive the gear member of the transmission mechanism to rotate when the second handle is rotated and opened relative to the first handle such that the gear member pushes the pull rod forward by engagement between the gear end and the gear grooves, and to drive the gear member of the transmission to rotate when the second handle is rotated and closed relative to the first handle such that the gear end of the gear member pulls the pull rod backward by engagement between the gear end and the gear grooves.

A fastener installation tool and method for interference fit, said fastener (10) comprising a head and a grasping element, said tool comprising a first body (30) extending along a first main axis and having: —at least one load-reacting surface, of which one also constitutes a surface for the application of a load; —a load transmission surface, and—a housing extending along the first main axis from a first end of said first body, said housing being extended along the first main axis by a drilling extending from said housing as far as a second end of said first body. According to the invention, the load transmission surface is situated at the second end of the first body (30) and extends perpendicular to the first main axis, said load transmission surface being dimensioned to be able to bear simultaneously on the head and on the insert clamp.

An apparatus, system, and method for removing and installing slasher teeth in a saw are provided. The apparatus has a first body and a second body having a space formed therebetween, wherein a slasher tooth is positionable within the space. At least one locator pin is connected to at least one of the first and second body, the at least one locator pin contactable to the slasher tooth to locate the first and second body relative to the slasher tooth. At least one engagement device is positioned on one or both of the first and second bodies, the at least one engageable device being actuatable, whereby actuation of the at least one engagement device moves it relative to the first and second bodies and into the space where the at least one engagement device contacts a rivet positioned between the slasher tooth and a saw body.

The present invention discloses a hand riveter and relates to the field of hand-operated tools, and the hand riveter comprises a first handle, a second handle and a clamping and pulling mechanism, wherein the second handle is capable of rotating around a pivoting shaft with respect to the first handle; the second handle is separated into a force applying end and a warping end by the pivoting shaft, and the warping end and the clamping and pulling mechanism are connected via a connecting shaft; when the force applying end of the second handle is rotated and opened with respect to the first handle, the warping end of the second handle drives the clamping and pulling mechanism to move in a rivet-driving direction; and when the force applying end of the second handle is rotated and closed with respect to the first handle, the warping end of the second handle drives the clamping and pulling mechanism to move in a rivet-pulling direction. According to rational arrangements of the present invention, the hand riveter is labor-saving and is comfortable to hold during pull riveting.

A system and method for drilling a hole in a vehicle structure and installing a fastener in the hole. A drill plate having openings and associated machine-readable elements is positioned on the structure. A drill gun is positioned in a particular opening and reads hole information from the associated element, and a computer determines whether the drill gun is properly set-up to drill the hole. A fastener insertion gun is positioned in the particular opening and reads fastener information from the element, and the computer determines whether the hole has been drilled and, if so, whether the fastener insertion gun is properly set-up to insert the fastener. A fastener delivery subsystem stores, tracks, and delivers fasteners to the fastener insertion gun. A system computer monitors the drilling of every hole, the insertion of every fastener, and the overall operation of the fastener delivery subsystem.

A blind rivet setting tool including a nosepiece storage unit removably attached to a housing feature of the tool, wherein the nosepiece storage unit is configured to hold a plurality of nosepieces and defines a mandrel receiving opening which aligns with an exit opening of the tool such that the broken mandrel of a set rivet can be moved through the mandrel receiving opening in use; and method of using the nosepiece storage unit.

An apparatus, system, and method for withdrawing slasher teeth from a slasher saw are provided. The apparatus has a handle, and a forked portion is connected to one end of the handle. A gap is formed between two prongs of the forked portion. A floating shank positioner is positioned at least partially within the gap. At least one common hole is formed through the two prongs of the forked portion. When the slasher tooth is connected to the at least one common hole, pivoting of the handle removes the slasher tooth from the pocket of the saw.

The present invention provides a pull riveting system including two or more pull-rivets and a riveting device, the pull-rivet including a rivet mandrel; the riveting device including two or more rivet gun heads, each provided with a rivet gun hole; wherein each of the pull-rivets is provided with a first label; each rivet gun head is provided with a second label; when one pull-rivet is matched with one rivet gun head, the rivet mandrel of this pull-rivet is applicable to the rivet gun hole of the rivet gun head, and the first label of the pull-rivet is the same as or corresponds to the second label of the rivet gun head. The present invention has the advantageous effects that labels easily identified with naked eyes are arranged on the rivet gun head and the pull-rivet, such that the pull-rivet and the rivet gun head which are matched with each other form a simple correspondence, so that the user may rapidly identify the pull-rivet specification and the rivet gun head matched with the pull-rivet, effectively reducing the waste of the pull-rivets, lowering the damage risk to the rivet gun, and effectively improving the work efficiency.

An apparatus, system, and method for removing and installing slasher teeth in a saw are provided. The apparatus has a first body and a second body having a space formed therebetween, wherein a slasher tooth is positionable within the space. At least one locator pin is connected to at least one of the first and second body, the at least one locator pin contactable to the slasher tooth to locate the first and second body relative to the slasher tooth. At least one engagement device is positioned on one or both of the first and second bodies, the at least one engageable device being actuatable, whereby actuation of the at least one engagement device moves it relative to the first and second bodies and into the space where the at least one engagement device contacts a rivet positioned between the slasher tooth and a saw body.
