Abstract

See full text

Blind fasteners are used to connect two or more workpieces together, and are particularly useful in aerodynamic designs. In such uses, it is very desirable to have a substantially flush surface. The present fastener comprises a fastener body having an axial bore therethrough and an enlarged head, a corebolt passing through the axial bore, the corebolt having a first portion, a threaded second portion, and a localized weakened region therebetween, a drive nut configured to fit around and threadingly engage the first portion of the corebolt, and a stop member that substantially prevents further withdrawal of the corebolt relative to the drive nut after the corebolt has been driven a predetermined distance during installation to shear the corebolt at the weakened region.
