Abstract

See full text

A method of riveting two metal sheets together including the steps of inserting the shank of a blind rivet through superposed oversized holes in the sheets, and deforming the parts of the sheets immediately surrounding the apertures by compression between the blind head and the preformed head of the rivet when the rivet is placed. The holes are oversized to allow for manufacturing and assembly tolerances, and deformation of the sheets provides interengagement between the sheets and substantially increases their resistance to slipping sideways relative to each other.
