Claims
- 1. A device for removing an eyelet from textile or plastics sheets, comprisinga substantially cylindrical or elliptical cylindrical claw head for pressing a beading of the eyelet in a direction of a middle point of the eyelet or in an opposite direction, wherein the claw head has claws which are moveable between a first position in which the claws are spread apart from one another and a second position in which the claws are closed, wherein the claw head is formed as a substantially cylindrical tube section having an axis, which tube section is constructed to include integrally therewith a plurality of the claws, which are axially-extending radially-spaced claws that are normally in the first position, a control cylinder configured for sliding over an outside of at least a part of the claw head to press together the claws into the second position, and an anvil for locating the eyelet to be removed with respect to the claw head.
- 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the eyelet is a stainless steel eyelet.
- 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the claw head has at least eight of the claws.
- 4. The device of claim 1, and further comprising a housing, and a carrier tube set within the housing for attachment of the claw head and acted upon by a pressure medium for displacement in a direction to and from a forward end of the housing, wherein the control cylinder is disposed in surrounding relationship to the carrier tube and is conjointly moveable with the carrier tube until the carrier tube reaches an end position, wherein the control cylinder is configured for further displacement by the pressure medium relative to the carrier tube so as to allow the control cylinder to slide over at least a part of the claw head and to move the claws into the operative position.
- 5. The device of claim 4, wherein the anvil is configured for connection to the housing for placement of the eyelet to be removed.
- 6. The device of claim 5, and further comprising a magnet integrated in the anvil.
- 7. A kit, comprising:a pressure medium operated system including a carrier tube and a control cylinder operatively connected to the carrier tube and adapted for conjoint movement with the carrier tube as well as movement relative to the carrier tube; wherein the carrier tube has means for interchangeably attaching any one of a claw head, stamping head, or a riveting head, the kit including: the claw head being detachably connectable to the carrier tube, the claw head being for pressing a beading of an eyelet in a direction of a middle point of the eyelet or in an opposite direction to thereby allow removal of the eyelet from textile or plastics sheets, wherein the claw head has claws moveable between a first position, in which the claws are spread apart from one another, and a second position, in which the claws are closed, wherein the claw head is formed as a substantially cylindrical tube section having an axis, which tube section includes a plurality of axial incisions to form the claws, wherein the control cylinder is configured for sliding over an outside of at least a part of the claw head to press together the claws into the second position; the stamping head being detachably connectable to the carrier tube for punching holes in the textile or plastic sheets; and the riveting head being detachably connectable to the carrier tube for placing an eyelet into the textile or plastics sheets an anvil for locating a portion of the textile or plastics sheets that is being operated on by a respective one of the claw head, the stamping head, or the riveting head with respect to the respective one of the claw head, the stamping head, or the riveting head.
