- the fastener 10 is inserted through aligned openings 20 and 22 in the workpieces 24 and 26 wherein the head 42 of the sleeve 14 is received against the outer surface of the accessible side workpiece 24, and a portion of the threaded portion 30 of the sleeve 14 extends out from the workpiece 26 and is adjacent to the outer surface of the blind side workpiece 26.
- a rotary installation tool (not shown) with nose assembly 60 is provided to set the fastener 10.
- the splines or threads 40 of the pin member 12 are engaged with the complementary splines or threads 72 of the driver 62.
- the driver 62 is rotatably driven within the bore 68 of the nose 58 while the nose 58 is held stationary relative to the driver 62.
- the splined engagement between the pin member 12 and nose assembly 60 simultaneously pulls the nose assembly towards the fastener 10 during actuation of the tool to ensure proper engagement of the nibs 56 with the recesses 54 and rotatably torques the pin member 12 to effectively form the bulb 52 of the fastener 10.
- the installation load applied by the installation tool results in the pin member 12 being further threaded with the sleeve 14 while deforming that portion of the sleeve 14 that is of a reduced wall thickness relative to the threaded portion 30 of the sleeve 14 that is adjacent to an outer surface of the blind side workpiece 26 to form the bulb 52 as shown in FIG. 2.
- the bulb 52 is fully formed, further rotation of the pin member 12 stops.
- torsional load builds up in the pin member 12 and the breakneck groove 41 will fracture in torsional shear and break away along with the head 38 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7.
- the spring 66 applies force against ejector 64 which ejects the severed head 38 from the nose assembly 60.
- the ejector 64 remains within the internal bore 70 after the fastener 10 has been set. As shown in the FIGS. 2 and 7, the head 38 breaks away from the pin member 12 without any damage to the head 42. The remaining portion of the pin member 12 is flush with the outer surface of the head 42 of the sleeve 14.
- the splined or threaded 40 head 38 of the pin member 12, the rearwardly sloping recesses 54 and nibs 56, and the relatively shallow recesses 54 of the present invention in multiple piece sleeve blind fasteners.
- the splined 40 head 38 of the pin member 12, the rearwardly sloping recesses 54 and nibs 56, and the relatively shallow recesses 54 of the present invention could be used in the blind fasteners shown and described in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,971,425, 5,498,110 and 5,634,751.
