ABSTRACT:
To produce a blind-rivet connection in which the rivet shaft (7) breaks off flush with the set-head (4) of the blind rivet (1), regardless of the total thickness (G) of the components (21) to be riveted, a blind rivet (1) is proposed whose rivet shaft (7) is provided with a plurality of break-off grooves (13) arranged axially in series. The tension segment (12) of the rivet shaft (7) is always separated at the break-off groove (13a) that is flush with the set-head end (11) after the rivet shank (2) has buckled to form a closing head (27).
