Abstract:
A rivet nut setting tool comprising:a wedge shaped ramp having a slot passing from a top surface to a bottom surface for through passage of a stud and a threaded hole at a small end of the wedge shaped ramp for threadably receiving a slide screw; a wedge shaped slide having a first bore hole in a large end extension for through passage of the slide screw, a third bore hole for through passage of a stud second end for receiving the rivet nut, and an anti-rotational member for counteracting a rotational activation force placed on the slide screw; wherein a stud first end prevents complete through passage of the stud through the slot, a slide screw first end prevents complete through passage of the slide screw through the first bore hole, and the wedge shaped ramp and the wedge shaped slide are positioned relative to one another such that upon application of the rotational activation force, the ramp slides along the slide causing the stud second end to retract.
