A DEVICE FOR DRIVING OR SETTING A WEDGE FASTENER

摘要

A system for setting or driving wedge sockets into holes of a structural component combines a mounting member having two shaft sections forming the socket, with a driver having a pistol shape with a pistol grip and a trigger for releasing an automatic impact force. The driver, for example energized by compressed air or by a cocked spring, applies a predetermined impact energy to one of the two shaft sections. The apparatus enables an operator to work efficiently, especially where large numbers of such fasteners must be set.
