Abstract: A fastener application device comprising an hydraulically-operated tool head held by an operator and having an actuator trigger, a base structure having an air-operated power cylinder operatively attached to an hydraulic cylinder to supply hydraulic pressure to the tool head in response to operation of the actuator trigger. The tool head and base structure are connected only by air and oil lines that are long enough to allow the base structure to be supported on, for example, a workbench, requiring the tool operator to support only the weight of the tool head during a fastener installation sequence.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for supplying swageable collars from a magazine to a swaging tool such that the collars may be affixed to the shanks of lockbolts in a series of application steps. The feeder device can be mounted on the nose assembly of a swaging tool so that collar feeding and swaging can be accomplished in a single-handed operation. The feeder device responds to contact pressure against a work surface during a collar placement maneuver to release a collar from a presentation position for normal swaging. Releasing pressure on the workpiece allows a lower assembly of the feeder device to lift the next collar available from a magazine into the presentation position for application to the next lockbolt shank in a series of lockbolts to be finished.

Abstract: A combination collar feeder and swaging tool for installing lockbolt fasteners. The collar feeder is mounted on the tool to present collars one-by-one from a cartridge. After placing a collar on a lockbolt shank, the feeder moves out of alignment with the nose assembly to allow it to advance onto the collar for swaging purposes.

Abstract: An air-driven device for feeding lockbolt collars to a presentation position for installation on lockbolts, one at a time, including a hand-held grip with a curved presentation piece on the top end and a flared bottom end with an air input. The grip is designed to receive in an attached relationship a cylindrical collar cartridge with a spiral cartridge passage for holding a large number of collars. An air supply can be connected into an inlet in the flared collar of the grip and this inlet is in communication with an air passage that extends downwardly through the cartridge to a point where it enters into the spiral passage so as to urge collars upwardly through the spiral passage into the grip body and from there to the presentation position.

Abstract: An air-driven feeder tool is provided for presenting swagable collars one at a time for placement on the shanks of lockbolts and thereby made ready for the application of a swaging tool. The swaging tool breaks off a pintail from the lockbolt and a vacuum system draws the broken-off pintails through a vacuum device and into a receptacle for safe disposal. The feeder mechanism comprises a magazine holding a supply f side-by-side collars, a presentation piece holding a short working collars and a worker-actuable trigger mechanism between the two queues for transferring collars, one at a time, from the magazine to the presentation queue. Two embodiments of the feeder tool are disclosed, each with a unique trigger position.
