ABSTRACT:
The invention is a one-piece drive fastener for securing a plurality of apertured members to each other, and comprises a head from which extends a rigid shank. The shank terminates in a tip, and also has a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart, rigid ribs which extend radially outwardly from and along the length of the shank, the ribs further having a pair of oppositely facing side walls. A plurality of axially spaced-apart, flexible flaps are integrally attached to one of the opposite side walls of at least some of the ribs, and the ribs form a sufficiently large cross-sectional width so that the shank is tightly engaged in at least one of the apertures and is thereby maintained in a substantially normal position relative to the members.
