Definitions
- the invention relates to a fastener installation tool provided with collection means for collecting broken-off fastener parts, i.e. that part of each fastener which is broken off during the installation process.
- the collection means is secured to the tool during its operation, and is readily removable from the tool (to empty out the collected parts) and then readily re-securable to the tool (to enable continued operation thereof) without undue delay.
- Another practical requirement is that, whilst the collection means is removed from the tool, a broken-off fastener part cannot be ejected from the tool (for safety reasons).
- the present invention aims to provide a tool which meets each of these requirements.
- the invention provides, in one of its aspects, a fastener installation tool as claimed in claim 1 of the appended claims.
- the invention provides, in another of its aspects, a fastener installation tool as claimed in claim 12 of the appended claims.
- Figure 1 is an exterior elevation of a blind-riveting tool
- Figures 2A and 2B are respectively an axial section and a cross section, through the collection means and the adjacent part of the tool in the connected condition;
- Figures 3A and 3B correspond to Figures 2A and 2B respectively, and show the disconnected condition
- Figures 4A and 4B are exterior top views of the adjacent parts of the collection means and tool, illustrating the cam arrangement for assisting initial displacement
- Figures 5A and 5B are enlarged sections of the area marked X in Figure 2A, illustrating the detent action of one of the flexible resilient members.
- the hand-held blind riveting tool is substantially identical to that described in WO 96/38345, to which the reader is referred for a description of the construction and operation of the tool.
- the present tool includes a pneumatic/hydraulic intensifier, fed by compressed air through a hose 11.
- the intensifier is actuated to drive a head piston along a bore 13 ( Figures 2A and 3A) to cause a jaw-assembly to grip and pull the pin-tail of a blind rivet 14 which has been inserted in the nosetip 15 of the tool.
- the body of the blind rivet deforms, and eventually the pin of the rivet breaks and the jaws retract with the broken off pin-tail.
- the jaws release the pin-tail which is ejected rearwardly along a tube 16 which extends along the centre of bore 13.
- the tube 16 leads into a bore 43 through a connector block 18 which is secured on the rear end of the bore 13.
- air under pressure is fed all the time along a bore 19 to the bore 13 behind the piston. This air pressure feed is also used for other purposes, as will be described below.
- Means for collecting broken off pin-tails is provided by what is known as a bottle 21.
- This is substantially cyclindrical, but with a slightly tapering exterior surface 22.
- the rear end of the bottle is provided with vent holes 23.
- the major part of the interior of the surface of the bottle tapers slightly, but the front part 24 is cyclindrical.
- This mates with the cylindrical exterior face 25 of the connector block 18, there being a narrow annular gap 26 between the faces 24 and 25 ( Figures 2A, 5A and 5B).
- the connector block 18 carries two flexible resilient sealing members 27 and 28.
- the forward most one 27 is an O-ring seal, and the rearward most one 28 is a lip-seal.
- Both seals protrude sufficiently above the surface 25 of the connector block 18 (see Figure 3A) that when the bottle is in the connected or secured position shown in Figure 2A, in which the front end 24 of the bottle 21 is fully forward over the connector block 18, both seals contact the inner surface of the bottle (as described in detail below).
- Air under pressure from feed bore 19 is fed, by means of the rear part of the bore 13, an annular gap 29 in the front of connector block 18, a radial bore 31 and a silencer chamber 32, to the annular gap 26.
- the chamber 32 is positioned between the seals 27 and 28, so that air pressure is applied to both seals. This air pressure causes both seals to deform slightly, so as to expand radially to produce enhanced frictional contact between the seals and the bottle 21. This substantially increases the force necessary to remove the bottle from the connector block, thus effectively securing the bottle to the tool.
- the forward seal 27 is an O-ring seal (i.e. of circular cross-section), but the rearward seal 28 is a lip-seal, and its action is illustrated in enlarged sections in Figures 5A and 5B.
- the rear end of the circular section 24 of the bottle interior joins the slightly tapering section behind it by means of a more steeply sloping tapered section 33, in which the lip-seal 28 can engage when the bottle is in the secured condition (as shown in Figure 2A).
- This engagement is shown in Figure 5A, in which the lip-seal is radially expanded by means of the air pressure in annular gap 26. This effectively provides a resilient detent engagement between the bottle and the connector block.
- the front end 34 of the bottle is formed with a projecting arcuate cam 35 which extends around half the circumference of the bottle and is of increased internal radius, so that it mates with a corresponding arcuate cam 36 provided on the connector block retaining ring 37.
- Figures 2A and 4A show the bottle in the fully engaged position, with the two cams 35 and 36 aligned.
- the operator grips the exterior surface 22 of the bottle 21 and rotates the bottle about its axis. This drives the cam 35 to force the bottle rearwards with considerable mechanical advantage, until the front end 34 of the bottle clears seal 27 (Figure 4B shows the bottle rotated through 90°, driving the front end 34 well beyond the seal 27).
- the shutter 38 is provided by a rectangular-section plunger moving in a rectangular-section transverse bore 39 in the connector block 18.
- the shutter 38 has a circular aperture 41, and is urged by a coil spring 42 into a position in which the aperture does not correspond with the pin-tail passage bore 43 axially through the adapter, i.e. the closed position.
- the shutter is held in its open position, in which the aperture 41 is aligned with the passage 43, by air pressure applied at the end of the bore 39 remote from the spring 42.
- This is achieved by the means of a short radial bore 44 which connects the end of the bore 39 to the exterior surface of the connector block and thus to the annular gap 26 to which air pressure is fed as previously described.
- An advantage of the tool of the foregoing example is that pin-tail ejection is prevented as soon as the bottle 22 is unlocked from the tool when the seal 27 is released.
- the lip-seal 28 could be substituted by, for example, an O-ring seal similar to the one 27, but with lowered bottle retention force.
- the shutter closing spring 42 could be substituted, for example, by air pressure.
