摘要

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.
