APPARATUS FOR ATTACHING FASTENERS TO BELTS

摘要

APPARATUS FOR ATTACHING FASTENERS TO BELTS A riveting gun (55) is mounted on a carriage (37) for movement on a way (36) to a plurality of positions over belt fasteners (11) placed along the edge of a clamped belt (12). The gun (55) is guided into the desired positions by an indexing member (50) which permits actuation of the gun (55) for driving the rivets (67) through the fasteners (11) and belt (12) when in position. A rivet deforming member (18) on the other side of the belt (12) upsets the rivets (67). Resilient mounting of the carriage (37) is provided to maintain alignment and absorb impact reaction stresses.
