  • Patent number: 10118215
    Abstract: Blind rivet setting device and method. The blind rivet setting device includes a housing; a pulling mechanism arranged in the housing; an electric motor structured and arranged move the pulling mechanism in a pulling direction out of a rivet receiving position; a control device, which is structured and arranged to control the motor, including a tear-off detection device that generates a mandrel tear-off signal when a pulling mandrel is torn off; and an operating device that is connected to the control device. When the mandrel tear-off signal is generated, the control device stops the driving of the pulling mechanism in the pulling direction.

  • Patent number: 9849502
    Abstract: A blind rivet setting device and method of setting a blind rivet. The device includes a housing; a pulling mechanism, arranged in the housing, that includes a chuck housing movable in a pulling direction and clamping jaws movable along a clamping distance in the chuck housing; an electric drive, structured and arranged to act on the chuck housing, that includes a control device; an electric battery structured and arranged as an energy source for the electric drive; and a spring structured and arranged in the chuck housing to apply a force to clamping jaws. For each clamping jaw, the chuck housing includes a guide path with a path base obliquely oriented to the pulling direction, and a back of each clamping jaw is supported against its respective path base over the clamping distance.

  • Patent number: 9574595
    Abstract: A blind rivet arrangement (1) is described, comprising multiple rivet bodies (3, 3a, 3b) arranged in succession on a mandrel (2), the mandrel (2) having a mandrel head (8) with an outside diameter which is greater than an inside diameter of the rivet bodies (3, 3a, 3b). The aim is to provide an inexpensive way to produce a blind rivet arrangement that works effectively. To this end the mandrel (2) and the mandrel head (8) are designed as parts that are produced separately and joined together.
