  • Apparatus and method for loading a riveting module with blind rivet nuts
    Patent number: 7200914
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for loading a rivet module (10), which can be vertically displaced between a lower placement position and an upper loading position, with blind rivet nuts (100) using a rivet feed (22). The invention is characterized in that next to the rivet placement head (12), a cup (24) for accommodating blind rivet nuts is laterally arranged such that it can be displaced between a position underneath the rivet feed (22) and a position underneath the rivet module (10) that is located in the loading position, whereby the cup (24) is provided with a clamping cylinder.

  • Apparatus and method for charging a riveting module with break-mandrel blind rivets or hollow-core rivets
    Patent number: 6905047
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and to a method for charging a riveting module (10) that is vertically displaced between a lower placement position and an upper charge position with blind break-mandrel rivets (100) or hollow-core rivets that consist of a shank and a reusable mandrel. Said device comprises a rivet supply (22) and, in addition to the riveting module (10), a funnel (24) that receives the rivet (100) with its mandrel (110) oriented upward and that is displaced laterally between a position below the rivet supply (22) and a position below the riveting module (10) in the charge position.
