Abstract
A rotary device for a rivet setting machine for self-punching rivets that includes a rotatable pick-up device ( ) having an angle of rotation lock ( ), wherein the angle of rotation lock ( ) in the open state allows free rotation of the pick-up device ( ) relative to a headpiece ( ) and in the closed state stops the pick-up device ( ) at predeterminable angle positions. An important feature of the present invention is that the pick-up device ( ) in the open position permits free rotation, while in the closed position, stops its rotation relative to a headpiece ( ) and this can be accomplished in a simple manner, manually and without the use of a separate or special tool.
