MAGNETIC RIVET RETENTION SYSTEM FOR A RIVET-GUN

摘要

A magnetic rivet retention system for a rivet gun (100), wherein a magnet (156) is provided in a frame (106) that is engageable with a powered handle (108). The magnet (156) attracts a rivet (158) and aligns the rivet (158) relative to a punch (138) and die (148) of the rivet gun (100). The magnet (156) is disposed in an internal chamber (154) in a front bushing (116). The front bushing (116) is threadably engaged with a back bushing (118), and both are disposed in a chamber (114) which is provided in a C-frame (106). A compression spring (130) is also disposed in the C-frame (106), thereby providing that the rivet gun (100) is spring return.
