Abstract
A manually-actuated retention and release mechanism is disclosed for use with a blind threaded rivet setting tool. The mechanism has a cap with an internal screw thread which retains a drive screw immovably to a spindle such that axial or rotational movement of the spindle results in concomitant movement of the drive screw. The cap cooperates with a manually-actuable bar via series of serrations formed on the cap, each of which serrations is a latch point for the bar. Movement of the bar into or out of engagement with the serrations dictates whether or not the cap is locked in position.
