NON-REMOVABLE STRUCTURAL FASTENER ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF FORMING SAME

摘要

Apparatus and method for forming a pin (13) and nut (24) fastener assembly for temporarily or permanently securing two panels (11, 12) having conventional drilled generally aligned holes into which the pin is inserted. Weight of the pin and nut is reduced while retaining predetermined industry established strength requirements. The thread section (15) of the pin is reduced along with the mating thread (27) of the nut.
