Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004104429
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A blind fastener (10) for securing a plurality of workpieces (24, 26) is provided that has a sleeve (14), and a pin member (12). In an alternate embodiment, the blind fastener has a sleeve, a pin member and a nut. The sleeves (14) have a head (42) with a plurality of rearwardly sloping recesses (54) disposed therein. The recesses (54) are adapted to be engaged with a plurality of rearwardly sloping nibs (56) disposed on one end of a nose (58) secured to an installation tool. The pin members (12) have a splined head (38) adapted to be engaged with a splined driver (62) secured to an installation tool. Use of the splined head (38) on the pin member (12), the splined driver (62), rearwardly sloping recesses (54) on the sleeve (14), and rearwardly sloping nibs (56) on the nose (58) eliminates camming out of the nibs (56) from the recesses (54) during installation of the blind fastener (10). A nose assembly (60) for installation of the blind fastener (10) is also provided.
