ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for quickly and easily disengaging and re-engaging a fastener installation tool head from a fastener installation tool body. A novel fastener installation tool head quick disconnect assembly is provided, consisting in a preferred arrangement of a sleeve assembly and an adapter housing assembly. The adapter housing assembly is rigidly attached to the fastener installation tool body and the sleeve assembly is attached to the adapter housing assembly via a quick-disconnect latching mechanism on the adapter housing assembly. To remove the sleeve assembly from the adapter housing assembly the operator simply translates the latching mechanism rearwardly, rotates the sleeve assembly 60.degree. to align an internal and an external set of lugs and grooves on the assemblies, and pulls the sleeve assembly forward disengage the sleeve assembly from the adapter housing assembly. To re-engage, the operator simply aligns the two components with one another, translates the sleeve assembly rearwardly into the adapter housing assembly, and rotates the sleeve assembly 60.degree., thereby quickly and easily locking the sleeve assembly into the adapter housing assembly.
