Abstract
A riveting apparatus includes a body pivotable about a horizontal axis and having first and second arms extending therefrom. Riveting structure is provided on the arms for cooperating to install and fasten rivets through a workpiece positioned between the riveting structure. The body may be rotated between a substantially horizontal to a substantially vertical position to accommodate riveting a workpiece having varying contours. The apparatus allows riveting operations to be performed at any point on the workpiece while permitting the operator to position himself immediately adjacent the point of riveting to assure proper alignment of the workpiece and proper riveting thereof.
