Abstract:

An anvil for a press for assembling a fastener to a plate having an aperture. The press includes a ram assembly for pressing the fastener into the plate aperture. The anvil includes a housing and a pin disposed in the housing. The pin is slidable between an extended position, partially extending outwardly of the housing and is adapted to extend through the plate aperture. The pin moves to a retracted position disposed within the housing for contact with the bottom surface of the plate. The anvil further includes a collar disposed in the housing and concentrically disposed around the pin. The collar includes a plurality of spaced apart collar sections, each collar section having a bottom flange retained by the housing and a top flange. The collar sections are movable between an expanded position when the pin is in the extended position, and a collapsed position when the pin is in the retracted position within the housing. The collar sections top flanges engage the pin top surface in the pin retracted position to form a barrier below the plate aperture to prevent fastener extruded material from protruding on the plate bottom surface after the fastener is inserted into the plate.
