Abstract
A fastener mandrel has formed on one end a spherically curved shoulder and an elliptically shaped head adjoining the shoulder. In setting the fastener in a workpiece, the shoulder enlarges the end of a tubular rivet and clamps workpieces together in combination with a preformed head on the other end of the rivet. The mandrel head deforms the rivet tail into an elliptical shape that partially encloses the mandrel head to provide good stem retention. A plurality of annular ribs on the mandrel stem are drawn into a reduced diameter section of the rivet head end when the rivet is set, thereby providing additional stem retention.
