ABSTRACT:
A self drilling, closed end, blind rivet has a hexagonally shaped flange, or other suitably shaped means of driving, at one end and a hardened drill bit at the other end, with the two being joined by an integral sleeve wall with a rolled groove in it that forms an internal chamber to retain the head of a mandrel. Withdrawal load on the mandrel, after the rivet has been inserted through a hole drilled by it in a plurality of layers to be joined, will upset the sleeve wall into a folded flange that coacts with the hex head, or other driving means, to tightly grip the outside face and the blind face of the layers being joined.
