Apparatus for attaching fasteners to belts

摘要

A riveting gun is mounted on a carriage for movement on a way to a plurality of positions over belt fasteners placed along the edge of a clamped belt. The gun is guided into the desired positions by an indexing member which permits actuation of the gun for driving the rivets through the fasteners and belt when in position. A rivet deforming member on the other side of the belt upsets the rivets. Resilient mounting of the carriage is provided to maintain alignment and absorb impact reaction stresses.
