Abstract

A blind fastener for securing a plurality of workpieces is disclosed. The blind fastener comprises several components, a core bolt, a body sleeve member and a buckle sleeve member. The core bolt includes a tool engaging portion to engage the head of a driver on a installation tool. The buckle sleeve member has a buckle portion designed to create a bulb fastening the workpieces together. In some embodiments, a the buckle portion is locally annealed to promote formation of a blind side bulb. A nose assembly with a matching anti-rotation engagement to the head of the body sleeve member is also disclosed.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the benefit and priority of US Application No. 11 / 841822, filed August 20, 2007, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] A blind fastener and associated installation method for securing a plurality of workpieces is disclosed. More specifically, a concealed fastener including a core bolt, a body sleeve member, and a bent sleeve member is disclosed. Background technique [0004] Concealed fasteners are often used to secure workpieces together when access to the concealed side of one of the workpieces is not otherwise possible. Artifacts that are accessible to the end user are called accessible side artifacts, and artifacts that are not accessible to the end user are called hidden side artifacts. [0005] Concealed fasteners have a wide variety of applications in the aerospace industry. In aerospace applications, the concealed fastener assembly of the pr...
