摘要:
Self-aligning tools may be used to install and reposition an expandable structure in a workpiece. A self-aligning installation system (100) may include an expansion mandrel (120), self-aligning nose cap assembly (110), and an installation tool (104) for driving the mandrel. The expansion mandrel is sized to fit within a passageway of an expandable member such that the expandable member radially expands when the expansion mandrel is moved through the passageway. The self-aligning nose cap assembly (110) moves relative to the installation tool (104) and mandrel (120). A self-aligning seating system can be used to move the installed expandable member. The self-aligning seating system includes a seat backing, a seat base, and a pull rod coupled to the seat backing and extending through the seat base. The seat backing slidably engages the seat base to permit rotation of the pull rod.

A method for mounting a metal collar (10) having a flange (11) on a resin component (20) comprises the steps of: (a) inserting a sleeve (12) of the metal collar (10) into a mounting hole (21) of the resin component (20), and setting the flange (11) of the metal collar (10) on the upper surface of a jig (60); (b) inserting a threaded screw mandrel (53) of a fastening tool (50) into a through-hole (13) in the metal collar, and rotating the screw mandrel (53) so that the screw mandrel engages a female threading (63) of the jig (60); (c) abutting a nosepiece (52) of the fastening tool (50) against the end surface of the leading end of the metal collar (10), and stopping the rotation of the screw mandrel; (d) withdrawing the screw mandrel (53) so that the nosepiece (52) presses the leading end of the metal collar (10), enlarging the outer diameter of the leading end of the metal collar to form an enlarged portion (14a), and interposing the resin component (20) between the enlarged portion (14a) and the flange (11).

A sealed battery includes a filling hole, and a gasket and a blind rivet that seal the filling hole. A tapered surface that is inclined toward an inside of a battery case is formed around the filling hole of the battery case. The filling hole is sealed by the gasket and the blind rivet by the blind rivet plastic deforming.

Disclosed is a blind fastener (10, 110, 210, 310, 410) including a core bolt (50, 150, 250, 350, 450), a body (20, 120, 220, 320, 420) and a blind side clamp (40, 140, 240, 340, 440) on the core bolt insertable through an aperture, where moving the core bolt relative to the body forms an enlarged bearing surface against a back surface. The fastener includes an extension (28, 128, 228, 328, 428) from the body with a wrenching surface (31, 131, 231, 331, 431) and an undercut (32, 132, 232, 332, 432) between the body and the wrenching surface that is optionally configured to break when torque equal to the sum of an application specified minimum installed seated torque and a manufacturing failure torque tolerance for the undercut is applied. Also disclosed is a method of dressing the installed fastener including machining through the top surface of the fastener along a longitudinal axis (A) of the core bolt of the fastener and the extension that extends from a body of the fastener until intersecting the undercut between the extension to remove the extension.

Blind rivet (10) having a rivet sleeve (12) and a pin (14), the rivet sleeve (12) having a sleeve head (16) for contact with a visible-side workpiece surface (53) and a sleeve shank (18) and a through hole (24), through which the pin (14) is guided, the pin (14) having a blind-side pin head (26) for contact in the region of a blind-side end (20) of the sleeve shank (18), and the sleeve shank (18) having a first forming section (34) and a second forming section (36) which is arranged axially spaced apart from the first forming section (34) and closer to the sleeve head (16), a first intermediate section (38) being formed between the first and the second forming section, which first intermediate section (38), during setting of the blind rivet, can form a first blind head (56) which can be formed at axially different points in order to set up different clamping thicknesses (K). Here, the sleeve shank (18) has a third forming section (40) which is arranged axially spaced apart from the second forming section (36) and closer to the sleeve head (16), a second intermediate section (42) being formed between the second and the third forming section in such a way that, during setting of the blind rivet for setting up relatively great clamping thicknesses (K MAX ), the second intermediate section is arranged axially between the first blind head (56), which is formed by the first intermediate section (38), and the sleeve head (16) and, during setting of the blind rivet for setting up relatively small clamping thicknesses (K MIN ), forms a second blind head (58).
