HAND RIVETING PLIER FOR DRIVING PARTICULARLY PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE RIVETS

摘要

A blind riveting tool has a base or holding member on which is pivoted a U-shaped clamping element which has a bight portion defining one side of a seat. Pivoted on this clamping element is a holding member formed with a jaw that can coact with the seat to grip the mandrel of a rivet whose head rests against the bottom side of the holding member. Both the displaceable member and the holding member have handles which when pivoted toward one another cause the jaw of the displaceable member to clamp a mandrel tightly against the seat and then pivot up, pulling this mandrel through its rivet and upsetting same.
