Abstract
A rivet sleeve of a blind rivet for connecting at least one die-head-side component to a closing-head-side component, the rivet sleeve having a sleeve shank including a sleeve shank end. An elastic sleeve die head is arranged at an end of the sleeve shank opposite the sleeve shank end for ensuring a minimum clamping force between at least the die-head-side component and the closing-head-side component in a closed state of the blind rivet, the sleeve die head. The sleeve die head extend around the sleeve shank radially around the extension axis of the sleeve shank. At least two recesses spaced a distance apart in the lateral surface of the sleeve die head.
Claims9
A rivet sleeve of a blind rivet to connect at least one die-head- side component to a closing-head-side component, the rivet sleeve comprising:
- a sleeve shank having a sleeve shank end, the sleeve shank end of the rivet sleeve being deformed into a closing head in a closed state of the blind rivet, the closing head being arranged on an upper side of the closing-head-side component;
- an elastic sleeve die head arranged on an end of the sleeve shank opposite the sleeve shank end for ensuring a minimum clamping force between at least the die-head- side component and the closing-head-side component in the closed state of the blind rivet,
- wherein the sleeve die head is arranged on an upper side of the die-head-side component opposite the upper side of the closing-head-side component,
- wherein the sleeve die head extends around the sleeve shank, such that the sleeve die head extends radially around an extension axis of the sleeve shank,
- wherein the sleeve die head has at least two recesses spaced a distance apart in a lateral surface of the sleeve die head, and
- wherein the at least two recesses are formed in a region of at least one die head contact section of the sleeve die head for arrangement on the upper side of the die-head-side component with respect to the sleeve shank or wherein the at least two recesses are formed in a region between the at least one die head contact section of the sleeve die head and the sleeve shank.
A rivet sleeve of a blind rivet to connect at least one die-head-side component to a closing-head-side component, the rivet sleeve comprising;
- a sleeve shank having a sleeve shank end, the sleeve shank end of the rivet sleeve being deformed into a closing head in a closed state of the blind rivet, the closing head being arranged on an upper side of the closing-head-side component;
- an elastic sleeve die head arranged on an end of the sleeve shank opposite the sleeve shank end for ensuring a minimum clamping force between at least the die-head-side component and the closing-head-side component in the closed state of the blind rivet,
- wherein the sleeve die head is arranged on an upper side of the die-head-side component opposite the upper side of the closing-head-side component,
- wherein the sleeve die head extends around the sleeve shank, such that the sleeve die head extends radially around an extension axis of the sleeve shank,
- wherein the sleeve die head has at least two recesses spaced a distance apart in a lateral surface of the sleeve die head, and
- wherein at least one recess of the at least two recesses is an opening or a slit in the sleeve die head.
A rivet sleeve of a blind rivet to connect at least one die-head-side component to a closing-head-side component, the rivet sleeve comprising:
- a sleeve shank having a sleeve shank end, the sleeve shank end of the rivet sleeve being deformed into a closing head in a closed state of the blind rivet, the closing head being arranged on an upper side of the closing-head-side component;
- an elastic sleeve die head arranged on an end of the sleeve shank opposite the sleeve shank end for ensuring a minimum clamping force between at least the die-head-side component and the closing-head-side component in the closed state of the blind rivet,
- wherein the sleeve die head is arranged on an upper side of the die-head-side component opposite the upper side of the closing-head-side component,
- wherein the sleeve die head extends around the sleeve shank, such that the sleeve die head extends radially around an extension axis of the sleeve shank,
- wherein the sleeve die head has at least two recesses spaced a distance apart in a lateral surface of the sleeve die head, and
- wherein the sleeve shank has at least two additional recesses spaced a distance apart and being formed in at least one of an inner lateral surface or an outer later surface of the sleeve shank on the sleeve shank end.
