  • Publication number: 20210245236
    Abstract: A multi-functional riveting tool has a holding handle, an operating handle pivotally connected with the holding handle, a torsion spring having two ends respectively abutting against the holding handle and the operating handle, a sleeve assembly mounted in a top portion of the holding handle, and a connecting driving assembly including a pulling shaft and a snapping set alternatively mounted in the sleeve assembly. With a structure and an internal space for mounting the pulling shaft and the snapping set formed in the sleeve assembly, a user is able to install the pulling shaft for connecting with a rivet nut, the pulling shaft for connecting with a rivet bolt or the snapping set for mounting a blind rivet in the sleeve assembly for different use. Only one riveting tool should be prepared. Accordingly, the riveting tool of the present invention is practical for use.

  • Patent number: 9162278
    Abstract: A hand-held rivet nut tool has a body having a base; two handles connected pivotally to the base; two pairs of links connected pivotally and respectively to the handles; a driven member connected pivotally to the pairs of the links; and a mandrel mounted rotatably through the driven member and the base. A push-and-pull mandrel-driving device or a rotational mandrel-driving device is mounted detachably and hence replaceably on the driven member, and is capable of driving the mandrel, the bushing and the threaded shaft. A user is allowed to choose either the push-and-pull mandrel-driving device or the rotational mandrel-driving device according to different working spaces or personal practices.

  • Patent number: 9003621
    Abstract: A hand-held rivet nut (rivet bolt) tool has a body, a sleeve, a positioning ring and a mandrel. The body includes a base and a pair of handles. The handles are respectively pivotally connected to two sides of the base. The sleeve is axially movably mounted through the base and includes an annular mounting groove. The positioning ring is seated in the annular mounting groove of the sleeve and includes an inner portion. The mandrel is rotatably mounted through the sleeve and includes an annular positioning groove allowing the inner portion of the positioning ring to engage therewith. The manufacturing process of the holding structure between the mandrel and sleeve is simplified because it only has steps of forming the annular mounting groove and then seating the positioning ring in the annular mounting groove, which increases production efficiency and reduces manufacturing time and costs.

  • Patent number: 8650731
    Abstract: A rivet tool capable of measuring size of blind rivet has a body and multiple interchangeable nosepieces. The body further has multiple rivet body measuring holes formed through the body. Diameters of the rivet body measuring holes match rivet bodies of corresponding blind rivets. Accordingly, the rivet tool of the present invention employs the rivet body measuring holes to measure a size of a rivet body of a blind rivet to rapidly, conveniently and correctly obtain a size of a rivet body of a blind rivet and further to correctly choose a nosepiece with a matching size.

  • Patent number: 8468668
    Abstract: A positioning assembly of a hand rivet nut tool has a rotating sleeve, a mandrel and a positioning ring. The rotating sleeve has a mounting groove formed around an inner surface of the rotating sleeve. The mandrel is mounted through the rotating sleeve and has a positioning groove formed around an outer surface of the mandrel. The positioning ring is mounted in and around the mounting groove of the rotating sleeve and the positioning groove of the mandrel. The mandrel is stably held by the positioning ring in a specific position, so the hand rivet nut tool is able to stably rivet a rivet nut on a work piece. The hand rivet nut tool with the positioning assembly has simplified and optimized positioning effect, and reduced assembling time and cost.

  • Patent number: 7565726
    Abstract: A two-handled blind riveting tool with a spent mandrel collecting device has a rivet setting assembly and a driving handle and a spent mandrel collecting device being separately mounted on a housing of the rivet setting assembly. A stationary handle of the spent mandrel collecting device has an elongated hole, a guider of the spent mandrel collecting device is mounted between the housing and the stationary handle, and a guiding tube of the spent mandrel collecting device is mounted in the housing. Snapped mandrels slide along the guiding tube and the guider and then drop into the stationary handle. Therefore, the snapped mandrels do not hurt an operator for improved safety and are recycled to keep working areas clean.
