Abstract

Two or more metal plates (2,3) are connected via an overlap section (4), defining a contact area (5), and a row of rivets (6), subjected to cyclical tensile loads. An additional row of rivets (7) is positioned next and parallel to the first one, in the end area (4A) of the overlap. These have rivet elements (8) to hold the plates in the contact area, so as to permit relative movement of the plates. The rivet element applies a defined clamp force to the plates between rivet head (17) and closing head (18). The force is adjusted by a closure ring. The rivet element is a hi-lock-rivet with hi-lock-collar.
