Bucking Bar Sleeve

Example embodiments of bucking bar sleeves for use with handheld air damped bucking bar devices are described herein. Such sleeves are not limited to use with any one particular bucking bar device, nor are such sleeves limited to use with justair damped bucking bar devices. In addition, and rather than being constructed as a separate sleeve, it is contemplated that the sleeve can be integrated into the bucking bar device. Further, the bucking bar sleeves sometimes are described herein inthe context of an aircraft. Such bucking bar sleeves are not limited to use in any one particular riveting application, and can be used in many different applications.

The bucking bar sleeve described herein is adjustable and engages to a known air damped bucking bar device. The sleeve facilitates assuring a desired compression of a rivet buck tail during a riveting operation, avoiding formation of gapsbetween parts, and providing bar balance and vibration control for operators. More particularly, and as described below in more detail, in one embodiment the bucking bar sleeve includes an adjustable, encircling, non-marring reference surface thatlimits the degree of compression of the buck tail. The non-marring surface also controls an even compression across the end of the rivet. The relative position of the non-marring surface with respect to the bucking bar can be adjusted to allow adesired amount of compression of the buck tail. The sleeve therefore removes at least some dependency on the skill and experience of the operator, and facilitates avoiding variation and rework.
