Abstract (en)
[origin: DE4423165A1] The disclosure is of a device for feeding fastening elements (1-6) with a shaft and head, such as rivets or similar articles (and in particular those whose shaft length is in particular equal to or less than the head diameter), to a tappet (18) (adapted to the rivet head) of a riveting machine (10) with a transfer mechanism (20) which uses a fluid stream to bring one fastening element (1-6) at a time into an intermediate position near the tappet (18). In order to achieve a precise axial alignment of each fastening element (1-6) in front of the tappet, it is proposed that a radially elastic holding unit (60) capable of moving with the tappet should be provided in the riveting machine (10) (the holding unit must be able to hold the head (7) in its axial alignment directly against the tappet); and that the transfer mechanism (20) should be provided with means which allow a fastening element (1-6) to enter the holding device (60).
