Definitions

  • the present invention relates to rivet setting tools which rely on air pressure as the motive force (see for example US-A-4 598 571).
  • rivet tool speed is a function of the supplied air pressure and accordingly operators tend to increase air pressure to increase their throughput.
  • Such tools are designed for operation within a selected pressure range and when operated above this range the mechanisms will wear at a high rate.
  • the rivet setting tool 10 includes a molded trigger 12 pivotal about a trigger point 13 and having a cam surface 14 along its bottom for engaging a displaceable molded cam follower in the form of a cylindrical rod holder 16.
  • a push rod 18 Displaceable up and down within the vertical bore 17 of the rod holder 16 is a push rod 18 which is retained by a retaining pin 19 located within a suitable slot 20 in the push rod holder 16.
  • Compressively located between the head portion 24 of the push rod and the bottom shoulder 26 of the rod holder are outer and inner springs 28. The ends of the slot 20 determine the fully retracted and fully extended positions of the push rod relative to the rod holder 16.
  • a conical face double acting poppet valve 30 which is supported within a suitable bore 32 which communicates with the bore 34 in which the pressure regulator assembly is located.
  • pressurized inlet air from an external supply which enters via an opening 36 into the poppet valve bore 32 below the valve, forces the lower valve seal 38 into a closed position elevating the pressure regulator assembly and returning the trigger to its deactivated position.
  • air from the tool chamber will pass through a conduit 40, through the poppet valve and through the open exhaust side of the valve to an exhaust port 44.
  • pulling the trigger will lower the pressure regulator assembly sealing the upper valve seal 46 against the valve body 48 and opening the inlet side connecting supply air through conduit 40 to the tool chamber.
  • the strength of the springs 28 is selected so that should inlet air pressure exceed a specified pressure the springs will compress allowing downward displacement of the rod holder 16 relative to the stationary push rod 18 when the trigger is depressed to activate the system.
  • the inlet side of the valve accordingly will remain sealed and the outlet side will continue to connect the tool chamber to exhaust therefore preventing tool operation at an excessive pressure which could damage the tool.

Claims (1)

  1. Outil de rivetage (10) comprenant :
    - une soupape à champignon (30) à deux voies qui est destinée à relier alternativement une conduite d'air (40) de la chambre de l'outil à des conduites d'entrée (36) et d'échappement (44) et qui comprend un corps (48) et un ensemble tiroir ayant des garnitures d'étanchéité de soupape supérieure (46) et inférieure (38) ;
    - une gâchette (12) mobile entre une position relâchée et une position pressée, et possédant une surface de came (14) ; et
    - un ensemble tige rétractable qui est placé entre ces gâchettes (12) et ensemble tiroir, qui peut se déplacer entre des positions supérieure et inférieure, et qui comprend une tige poussoir (18) ayant une partie tête (24) ;
       caractérisé en ce que l'ensemble tige comprend en outre
    - un moyen (16) formant monture de tige, destiné à supporter cette tige poussoir (18) pour lui permettre de décrire un mouvement choisi entre une position avancée et une position rétractée par rapport à ce moyen (16) formant monture de tige ; et
    - un moyen à ressort (28) placé en compression entre cette partie (24) de tête de la tige poussoir et ce moyen (16) formant monture de tige pour maintenir cette tige poussoir (18) dans cette position avancée et pour résister au déplacement de cette tige poussoir (18) vers cette position rétractée ;
    - la force de ce moyen à ressort (28) étant choisie de manière qu'aussi longtemps que la pression d'air de travail est inférieure à une pression maximum, l'enfoncement de cette gâchette (12) déplace cet ensemble tige avec cette tige poussoir (18) pour le placer dans cette position avancée, en allant de cette position supérieure à cette position inférieure, pour ouvrir ainsi le côté de cette soupape à champignon (30) mais que, lorsque la pression de travail excède la pression maximum, la pression surmonte l'effet de ce moyen à ressort (28), en faisant passer cette tige poussoir (18) de cette position avancée à cette position rétractée, de sorte que le côté d'entrée de cette soupape à champignon (30) sera fermé.
