Patent number: 4246828Abstract: A blind fastener having a rivet sleeve, a core bolt, an expansible sleeve integral with the rivet sleeve, and a locking ring. The core bolt extends through the rivet sleeve and includes a sleeve expanding portion abutting against the sleeve with an enlarged stop ring at the end of the expanding portion. The ring encircles the core bolt and is disposed in a throughbore in the head of the rivet sleeve. The ring is split and has an internal chamfer for facilitating assembly regardless of irregularities on the core bolt. The core bolt has a stop thereon for preventing movement of the ring away from the head of the rivet sleeve toward a threaded portion of the core bolt.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1979Date of Patent: January 27, 1981Assignee: Monogram Industries, Inc.Inventor: Emory K.
