Latest Patents
One of Shane's latest patents is a method for delivering and setting self-piercing rivets. This innovative fastener delivery apparatus is designed to automatically select and deliver fasteners, such as rivets, to a setting tool. The fasteners are pre-loaded in a package and dispensed via at least one fastener delivery tube that interconnects the setting tool to a fastener feeder device. The fastener feeder device releases selected fasteners from the package into the delivery tube. The fasteners can be transported individually or in groups from the feeder device to the tool. A transfer station, attached to either the tool or the delivery tube, facilitates the transfer of a fastener from the delivery apparatus into the tool. This transfer station is strategically positioned adjacent to the tool, allowing for a smooth, rapid, and reliable delivery of fasteners of various sizes and types to the nose of the setting tool in any particular order. This invention provides all the necessary fastener types for any specific work cycle.
