Abstract
A stamped rivet (10) for the connection of metal sheets (12, 14) to each other is provided, and includes a shaft (16) with several circumferential ribs (18) located one above another on the shaft (16), a shaft end (20) for pressing through the sheets (12, 14) for connection to each other, and a head (26). An adjacent region (30) to the shaft end (20) has no circumferential ribs and has a diameter smaller than an outside diameter (D) of the circumferential ribs. The stamped rivet (10) is easy to set as the setting device only has to be able to push the stamped rivet (10) through the sheets (12, 14) for connection. Sheet material is then forced by plastic deformation into the circumferential grooves (38) formed between the circumferential ribs (18).
