DEFINITION

Classification: 72/453.17

Riveting tool:

(under subclass 453.16) Apparatus particularly adapted to deform a rodlike fastener to cause that fastener to be confined to not move through an aperture in another member.

(1) Note. A "pop rivet" consisting of a tube and encased rod is considered to be a single work part; accordingly, a device for causing such a rivet to engage the walls of an opening in another member is proper for this subclass, provided that the device engages only parts of the rivet.
