Abstract
A blind rivet arrangement (1) is described, comprising multiple rivet bodies (3, 3a, 3b) arranged in succession on a mandrel (2), the mandrel (2) having a mandrel head (8) with an outside diameter which is greater than an inside diameter of the rivet bodies (3, 3a, 3b). The aim is to provide an inexpensive way to produce a blind rivet arrangement that works effectively. To this end the mandrel (2) and the mandrel head (8) are designed as parts that are produced separately and joined together.
Claims21
Blind rivet arrangement comprising:
- a rivet mandrel;
- multiple rivet sleeves arranged in succession on the rivet mandrel, each of the rivet sleeves having an inner diameter;
- the rivet mandrel comprising a rivet mandrel head having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of each of the rivet sleeves;
- the rivet mandrel and the rivet mandrel head being embodied as parts produced separately from one another and being connected to one another;
- and
- the rivet mandrel head being configured, in relation to each of the multiple rivet sleeves, to be pulled completely through each of the multiple rivet sleeves.
Blind rivet arrangement comprising:
- a rivet mandrel formed from spring steel;
- multiple rivet sleeves arranged in succession on the rivet mandrel, each of the rivet sleeves having an inner diameter;
- the rivet mandrel comprising a rivet mandrel head having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of each of the rivet sleeves;
- and
- the rivet mandrel and the rivet mandrel head being embodied as parts produced separately from one another and being connected to one another.
Blind rivet magazine arrangement comprising:
- a rivet mandrel having a pulling end;
- multiple rivet sleeves, each of the rivet sleeves comprising:
- a set head;
- and
- a hollow cylindrical shank extending away from the set head to a closing head-side end of the hollow cylinder shank, the hollow cylindrical shank defining an inner diameter;
- the rivet mandrel comprising a rivet mandrel head having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of each of the rivet sleeves, the rivet mandrel head being positioned at an end of the rivet mandrel opposite the pulling end of the rivet mandrel;
- the rivet mandrel extending through the hollow cylindrical shank of each of the multiple rivet sleeves, with the pulling end of the rivet mandrel protruding from the set head of a last of the multiple rivet sleeves farthest from the rivet mandrel head, the multiple rivet sleeves being arranged in succession on the rivet mandrel with the set head of each of the multiple rivet sleeves being closer to the pulling end of the rivet mandrel than to the rivet mandrel head;
- the rivet mandrel and the rivet mandrel head being embodied as parts produced separately from one another and being connected to one another;
- and
- the rivet mandrel head being configured, in relation to each of the multiple rivet sleeves, to be pulled completely through the hollow cylindrical shank of each of the multiple rivet sleeves in succession as each of the multiple rivet sleeves is set, in a direction from the closing head-side end of the hollow cylinder shank to the set head end of the hollow cylinder shank.
