摘要:
An apparatus and method which provides a measure of the asymmetry as well as the size of individual fluid borne particles. Laser-light scattering techniques are employed to obtain data on the particles, which is then compared to data on known particle shapes to ascribe an asymmetry factor to the particles.
摘要:
A method of riveting two metal sheets (11, 12) together comprising inserting the shank (16) of a blind rivet through superposed oversized holes (13, 14) in the sheets, and deforming the parts of the sheets immediately surrounding the apertures by compression between the blind head (23) and the preformed head (17) of the rivet when the rivet is placed. The holes (13, 14) are oversized to allow for manufacturing and assembly tolerances, and deformation of the sheets provides interengagement between the sheets and substantially increases their resistance to slipping sideways relative to each other (Figures 1A, 1B and 1C).

The invention provides a trigger adaptor to allow a conventional pistol-grip type hand held power tool to be used when suspended pointing vertically downwards, so that the operator may grip the tool and position it where desired and still be able to actuate the tool trigger. The adaptor comprises a tubular grip (24) surrounding the tool barrel (12) and freely rotatable around it. The grip (24) extends between upper (22) and lower (23) annular securing parts each of which is secured to the tool barrel. A longitudinal groove (34) in the grip carries an auxiliary trigger bar (26) pivoted at its lower end on a pin (35). When the trigger bar (26) is squeezed inwardly, its upper end bears on the underside of a flange (37) at the top of a tube (27). When the flange (37) rises it drives up a pushrod (25), which contacts the tool trigger (15) and moves it to actuate the tool.

A removable rivet (11) of the type comprising a shank (12) and a preformed head (13) at at least one end of the shank (12), the shank (12) being insertable through workpieces (19) and being capable of being permanently deformed to rivet the workpieces (19) together, includes the following features in combination:- an annular groove (23) at the junction of the shank (12) and the head (13), the annular groove (23) extending radially inwardly of the diameter of the shank (12), thereby to facilitate separation of the head (13) from the shank (12) when a drill (22) of diameter substantially equal to that of the shank (12) is applied to the head (13) of an installed rivet (11) co-axially with the shank (12) until it meets the annular groove (23); an annular rim (25) carried by the head (13) of the rivet (11) for co-operating with drilling apparatus (31, 32) comprising a drill (22), thereby to locate the drill (22) co-axially with the annular groove(23); and abutment faces (28) carried by the head (13) of the rivet (11) for engaging dogs (34) a non-rotating sleeve (34) of the drilling apparatus thereby to prevent rotation of the rivet (11) under the influence of the rotating drill (22) (Figure 4).
摘要:
A tubular body (74, 102) having a deformable internal annular skirt is made from a blank (10, 80) having a stopped bore (20) which terminates at an end wall (24). First, an aperture (40) is formed in the end wall (24) to provided a through bore, of which a main region is provided by the formerly stopped bore (20). The aperture (40) is made to taper towards the main region and to a diameter substantially smaller than that of the main region. Material peripherally of the aperture (40) is then swaged towards and into the main region, and radially outwardly in the main region, thereby forming the swaged material into a skirt. The tapering aperture (40) can be formed by use of a punch (30) and a die (32) having a die aperture (36) larger than the punch diameter. By making the aperture (40) not radially symmetrical, the resulting skirt (70, 98) can be made of unequal lengths on opposite radii. The aperture (114) can be made non-symmetrical by using a punch slightly offset from the axis of the die aperture (36) or by making the end wall of different thickness on different radii.
摘要:
A self-plugging blind rivet 10 comprises a tubular body 14 having a preformed head 34 at one end, and in the bore 36 of which a headed stem 12 is disposed. The stem 12 projects from the head 34 end of the body 14, and the head 18 of the stem 12 is substantially enclosed by a region 42 of the body 14 remote from the preformed head 34. The head 18 of the stem 12 abuts a shoulder 44 provided by a region 43 of the body 14 in which the diameter of the bore 36 is reduced and the wall is thickened. Axially spaced apart annular grooves 46, 48 in the external surface of the body 14 define between them a portion 50 which will collapse to form a blind head when the body 14 is compressed axially by pulling the stem 12 while supporting the preformed head 34. Finally, the stem head 18 may be pulled into the reduced diameter region 40 of the bore 36 and thereby cause the blind head to be reshaped and forced into compressive engagement with work being fastened. The stem head 18 remains securely enclosed by the body 14, whereby its loss is prevented.
