Abstract

Disclosed is a combination screw and rivet fastener that couples a cover plate to a ratchet head. The fastener is inserted into the ratchet head and then screwed into a hole of the cover plate. Thereafter, the tip of the fastener opposite the fastener head is deformed in a rivet operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to fasteners. More specifically, the present invention relates to a combined screw and rivet for use with, for example, a ratchet wrench cover. Background technique [0002] Ratchet wrenches are widely used for fastening fasteners to substrates or to other hard devices such as nuts. Ratchet wrenches allow a user to rotate the wrench handle in a first rotational direction to apply torque, and then rotate the wrench handle in a second rotational direction to return the wrench handle to the original position of the rotated wrench without applying reverse torque to the workpiece. The process is then repeated until the desired amount of torque is applied to the workpiece. [0003] Ratchets and other tools often include covers. For ratchet wrenches, the cover plate encloses the ratchet head housing, which contains the ratchet components, such as ratchet gears, therein. For example, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As sh...
