Abstract: A lock spindle blind rivet assembly is provided which is intended to be received in a hole in a workpiece, and which is made up of a sleeve adapted to be received in the hole, a stem having a forward section with an outer diameter slightly less than the inner diameter of the sleeve and a rear section with an outer diameter slightly greater than the inner diameter of the sleeve, the forward and rear sections of the stem being separated by an annular locking groove which forms an annular shoulder around the stem. A collar having an outer diameter greater than the inner diameter of the sleeve, and having an inner diameter slightlygreater than the outer diameter of the forward section of the stem but less than the diameter of the annular shoulder, is slidably mounted on the forward section of the stem to be moved back along the forward section to engage and be stopped by the annular shoulder.
