ABSTRACT:
A blind rivet nut has a head configured as an annular flange and a shank comprising a head end, a foot end and a cylindrical bore closed at the foot end of the shank and extending from the head end to the foot end in lengthwise direction, and a second bore segment near the head end whose diameter is greater than the diameter of the first bore segment. The wall surrounding the second bore segment forms a plastically deformable region of the shank, and has an outer surface with the shape of a regular polygonal, in particular hexagonal, prism. To achieve a uniform and tightly sealing contact of the flange with the part accommodating the blind rivet nut, the wall thickness of the deformable region in the thinnest places is 4% to 6% of the least outside diameter of the deformable region.
