Abstract
A blind rivet disassembling device comprising a cutting means adapted to get in between a flange portion of a blind rivet and a base metal and cut a body portion of the blind rivet in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the body portion and toward a center of a through hole formed through the blind rivet, a push-out means which pushes out a residual mandrel from the flange portion toward a bulge of the through hole along the axial direction of the body portion, a moving means which causes the cutting means to move toward the center of the through hole, and an advancing means which causes the push-out means to advance into the through hole for pushing out the residual mandrel interlocked with the movement of the cutting means.
