Abstract
A blind rivet, for anchoring in a blind hole in relatively soft material such as softwood, comprises a tubular shell (14) with a weakened thinner portion (19), and a stem (15) with an enlarged head (29) having a smooth underhead curve (32). The weakened portion (19) of the shell also has four longitudinal V-section weakening grooves (24) in its inner wall. The weakened portion (19) has a wall thickness which is less than that of the remainder (22) of the shell, the junction between the two parts presenting an internal annular shoulder (23). When tension is applied to the pulling portion (26) of the stem, the stem head (29) enters the weakened portion (19) and splits it apart along the grooves (24) to form legs which anchor in the soft material. The higher strength of the remainder (22) of the shell prevents the stem head (29) passing beyond the shoulder (23) before the stem fractures at the breakneck (27). <IMAGE>
Description
BLIND RIVET
F The invention relates to a blind rivet, and in particular to a blind rivet for anchoring in a relatively soft material, for example softwood.
Blind rivets, which are installed or placed by access to one side only of the workpieces, have been knowt and used for many years for use im applixcatioyls in which the rivet protrudes from the blind or inaccessible side of two or more superposed sheets, and forms a blind head behind the blind face of the rear sheet. However there is also a requirement to secure a member to a body of relatively soft material, e.g. softwood, in such a way that neither the rivet, nor the hole in which it is inserted, breaks through the blind face of the body of relatively soft material.
Such an application raises different problems. The enlarged blind head must be formed by the rivet, inside the body of relatively soft material, in such a way that the engagement of the blind head within the material is sufficiently strong to resist pull-out.
The invention provides, in one of its aspects, a blind rivet for anchoring in relatively soft material, which rivet comprises:- a tubular shell and a stem;
a preformed head at one end of the shank; and a weakened expandible portion of the shank at the end thereof remote from the head;
the weakened portion of the shell having a thinner wall than the next adjacent part of the shell and a plurality of weakened zones spaced apart circumferemtially around the thinner wall;
and a stem extending through the tubular shell, the stem having::
an expander head adjacent the expandible portion of the shell, the expander head having a maximum external diameter greater than the internal diameter of the thinner wall portion of the shell and having an underhead shape progressively increasing in diameter towards the maximum diameter of the head at least from the radius at which it meets the adjacent end of the shell;
and a breakneck on the stem; such that when the rivet is inserted into a bore in a body of relatively soft material so that the expandible portion of the shell is located in the bore by a sufficient distance from the surface of the material at accessible end of the bore, and increasing tension is applied to the stem on the side of the breakneck remote from the stem head, with respect to the head of the shell,
firstly the stem head progressively enters the weakened portion of the shell, the progressively increasing diameter of the underhead shape causing the weakened portion to rupture along the weakened zones to split into a plurality of legs which are forced outwardly into the body of relatively soft material to anchor the rivet therein,
and thereafter the stem breakneckifractures besom.
the stem head can advance substantially further into the shell, thereby confining the splitting of the shell into radially expanded legs embedded in the material to the end portion of the shell spaced away from the surface of the material at the accessible end of the bore, with no substantial expansion of at least the major part of the remaining length of the shell shank.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example and-with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal axial section through a rivet shell before assembly;
Figure 2 is a tail end elevation of the shell in the direction of the arrow 2 in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is an external elevation of the rivet stem before assembly;
Figure 4 shows the assembled rivet with the shell in axial section and the stem in elevation;
Figure 5 is an elevation of the rivet placed in a softwood panel; and
Figure 6 illustrates two rivets used to secure a softwood panel to a frame-member.
Referring first to Figure 6, a softwood panel 11 is secured to a metal channel-section frame member 12 by means of a number of rivets, two of which are shown, after placing, at 13. It is a requirement that the face 36 of the softwood panel 11 which is remote from the frame member 12 is not distorted or broken by the riveting operation.
The rivet of this example comprises a shell 14 and a stem 15, both of steel. Figures 1 and 2 show the shell, which is tubular with a bore 16 completely through it, and comprises a shank 17 having a preformed head 18 at one end and a weakened portion 19 at the other, or tail, end. The external diameter of the shank is uniform, the weakened portion 19 having a thinner wall 21 than that 22 of the remainder, or main part, of the shank which is adjacent to it. The weakened portion meets the remainder of the shank in an annular shoulder 23. The weakened portion 19 also contains further longitudinally weakened zones in the form of four V-section grooves 24, spaced equally at ninety degrees apart around the inside of the thinner shell wall 21. Each groove 24 extends from the tail end face 25 of the shell shank towards, but stopping short of, the annular shoulder 23.The axial extent of the weakened portion 19 is between one quarter and one third of the total length of shell shank 14 excluding the head 18.
The stem 15 is shown in Figure 3 and comprises a pulling portion 26 joined by a breakneck 27 tc a plugging portion 28. At the end of the stem remote from the pulling portion 26 is an expander head 29. The pulling portion 26 has a uniform diameter which is a close sliding fit in the shell bore 16. > The major wart of the length of the plugging portion 28 comprises a retaining portion 33 which is of uniform diameter slightly greater (in this example, by about 0.13 mm in a diameter of about 2.6 mm) than the uniform internal diameter of the major length part 20 of the shell bore 16.One end of the retaining portion 33 is joined to the breakneck 27 by a taper 34.
The maximum external diameter of the expander head 29, over its short parallel portion 31 of uniform maximum diameter, is greater than the internal diameter of the thinner wall portion 19 of the shell and, in this example, is equal to the uniform external diameter of the shell shank 17 (see Figure 4). The head 29 has an underhead portion 32 the external surface of which is, in elevational section, a smooth arcuate curve. This curve blends smoothly with the surface of the adjacent part of the stem, which is the adjacent end of the retaining portion 33 of the stem. The end of the head has a slightly domed surface 30.
The assembled rivet is shown in Figure 4, the stem having been inserted through the bore of the shell until the inner periphery of the tail end face 25 of the shell shank meets the stem head 29 part of the way up the underhead curved face 32. The free end part of the pulling portion 26 of the stem projects well beyond the head 18 of the shell. The leading part of the retaining portion 33 of the stem has been drawn into about half of the length of the part 20 of the shell bore, producing an interference fit. This interference holds the stem firmly assembled in the shell. The exterior of the corresponding part of the shell shank may have been slightly expanded by this interference fit of the stem portion 33 in part of the bore 20.
The rivet is used, in the usual way for blind rivets, by inserting the shell shank of the assembled rivet into a bore in which it is a close fit, until the underside of the head 18 abuts the near face of the workpiece or members to be joined together. Figure 5 shows the fully placed rivet, where it will be seen that a hole 35 of appropriate diameter has been bored through the superposed frame member 12 and into the softwood panel 11. This hole should be at least long enough to accommodate the length of the assembled rivet, when the underface of the shell head 18 is pressed into contact with the near face of the frame 12. In this example, he blind end of the hole 35 comes near to, but does not break through, the remote or inaccesible face 36 of the panel 11, since it is required that this face is visually unmarked.
The rivet is placed by a blind-rivet placing tool of well-known type. This has an annular anvil which abuts the head 18 of the rivet shell, and stem-gripping and pulling jaws which grip the pulling portion of the stem and apply an increasing tension force to it with respect to the shell head. This stem expander head 29 to progressively enter the weakened portion 19 of the shell.
The progressively increasing diameter of the stem head underhead portion 32 exerts a radially outward force on the weakened portion 19 of the shell, which ruptures along the grooves 24 and splits into four legs 37. The legs bend outwardly about their inner ends under the force of the advancing underhead portion 32, and displace and compress the softwood material. The taper 34 on the stem eases the progressive entry of the retaining portion 33 of the stem along the bore. The slightly enlarged retaining portion 33 of the stem axially lengthens its interference fit with the wall of the shell bore. This may cause a very slight radial expansion of the outside of the shell to axially extend towards the shell head.
The stem head 29 advances until resistance to the underhead face 32 increases substantially, when it reaches the region of the inner ends of the grooves 24 and the annular shoulder 23, where the shell becomes stronger and much more resistant to rupture and deformation. In addition, the part of the wood 11 surrounding the legs 37, which has been compressed by the legs as they are forced outwardly, resists further outward movement of the legs, which in turn resists further movement of the stem head along the shell. As the tension applied to the stem pulling portion 26 by the rivet placing tool continues to increase, the stem fractures at the breakneck 27, which is by then located inside the shell head 18.The rivet is thus anchored in the softwood panel 11 by means of the dutwardly deformed legs 37 which are embedded in the material ofthe wood, as illustrated in Figure 5.
The stem head and plugging portion are retained within the shell by the interference of the enlarged retaining portion 33 with the adjacent part of the shell shank. The presence of the stem head in abutment with the deformed legs 37 of the shell tail restrains the legs against inward collapse, which would weaken the strength of the riveted joint.
It should be noted that the major anchoring deformation of the legs 37 is spaced well away from the surface of the softwood panel 11 which is in contact with the frame member 12, so that there is plenty of wood material undisturbed adjacent the wall of the hole 35 :-o be strong enough to resist pull-out of the rivet. This resistance would be reduced by any substantial radial expansion of the part of the shell shank between the legs 37 and the shell head 18, since the amount of material of the softwood which resists pull-out of the expanded legs would be reduced. Any slight expansion of the exterior of the shell shank nearest the weakened portion due to the insertion of the stem retaining portion 33 into the shell bore part 20, has occured on assembly of the rivet, before it is inserted in the hole 35 in the wood.Any axial extension of this slight expansion, when the rivet is installed, has a negligible effect on the resistance to pull-out of the rivet offered by the wood. The disruption of the wood by the legs is also spaced well away from the remote face 36 of the wood panel, thus ensuring that this face is not disturbed.
It is found that, if the hole 35 is rather shorter than is recommended, so that the stem head end face 30 touches the bottom of the hole and the shell head underface cannot initially touch the frame 12, the action of the legs 37 when the rivet is installed pulls the rivet shell head 18 into contact with the frame 12. This action can also pull the frame into tight contact with the softwood panel 11.
It is also found that there is a substantial tolerance in the diameter of the hole 35 in which the installed rivet will still have a substantial resistance to pull-out.
The invention is not restricted to the details of the foregoing example. For instance, the stem head 29 may be formed without the parallel portion 31, the domed end face 30 being directly adjacent the wider end of the underhead curved face 32.
The weakened zones, provided in the foregoing example by grooves 24, need extend longitudinally only sufficiently far to ensure that the tail portion splits satisfactorily to form legs. The weakened zones would thus initiate splitting, which would then continue beyond the weakened zones. It is possible that weakened zones need not extend longitudinally at all, for example being provided by a plurality of radial grooves on the end face 25 of the shell, provided that satisfactory splitting into legs is achieved.
Retention of the stem in the shell of the installed rivet may be achieved by providing a more positive interference between these two parts, e.g. by-providing grooves on the stem in which the shell engages.
