  • Patent number: 10876564
    Abstract: A blind rivet nut for connecting two components by means of a screw connection includes a rivet shank. The rivet shank has an internal thread, at the axial first end of which a deformation portion configured to produce the riveted joint is arranged. At the axial second end of the rivet shank there is arranged a rivet head with a contact face that allows an adjacent component face to lie against. The supporting surface has a radial extent which is greater than or equal to 1.5 times and less than or equal to 2 times the radial extent of the rivet shank.

  • Publication number: 20160214333
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a reinforced fiber composite component. The method includes the following acts: providing a reinforcing profile, enclosing the reinforcing profile with a core element, producing a sheath for the core element by braiding it with endless fibers, and impregnating the braided core element with a matrix. A reinforced fiber composite component provided in this manner includes a core element which is braided with a sheath, the core element enclosing a reinforcing profile that is arranged inside the core element.

  • Publication number: 20160040703
    Abstract: A blind rivet nut for connecting two components via a screw connection is provided. The blind rivet nut includes a rivet shaft with an internal thread, on the axial first end of which shaft a deformation portion for producing the rivet connection is arranged, wherein a rivet head with a bearing surface for bearing an adjacent component surface is arranged on the axial second end of the rivet shaft. The bearing surface has a radial extent which is designed to be greater than or equal to 1.2 times the radial extent of the rivet shaft.
