<p>An easily removable blind rivet of the type having an open rivet body (14) with a flange (20) on one end and a mandrel (12) positioned within the opening in the rivet body, the mandrel (12) having an enlarged head (26) at one end adapted to upset the rivet body (14) when the mandrel is pulled. The rivet flange (20) has a portion (40), formed out of the surface of the flange (20) which is adapted to be gripped so that the flange can be removed from the rivet body enabling the rivet body to be passed through the opening in a workpiece. Alternatively, a separate member (38) is positioned between the rivet flange (20) and the work-piece, said member (38) having a tab (46) extending therefrom and adapted to be gripped and pulled so as to strip the flange from the rivet body.</p> |
