Abstract
A device for screwing-in and setting self-drilling blind rivets in a structure, has a clamping unit with two clamping jaws for holding a spindle of a rivet inserted therebetween. The jaws are guided in complementary grooves provided in a retaining unit which is installed in a tubular housing. A cover cap is inserted in the housing for limiting a displacement path of the retaining unit and the clamping jaws in a direction of a central axis of the retaining unit. A shaft to be connected to a driving unit for driving the screwing-in and setting device is inserted in the retaining unit. The shaft acts on a spring-loaded support having radially protruding bolts slidable in longitudinal slits provided in the housing. A displacement path of the retaining unit in the direction towards a free end of the housing is longer than that of the clamping laws.
