The invention relates to a rivet () for connecting workpieces (), in particular a blind rivet, having a sleeve () with a shank () and a widened preformed head () adjoining thereto, and optionally a rivet mandrel () with a head (), wherein an end of the shank () lying opposite the preformed head () if necessary can be deformed to form a driven head by drawing the rivet mandrel () into the sleeve (). In order that during the placement of a rivet () a gap () between the rivet () and workpieces () to be connected can be closed and a highly loadable connection can be achieved, at least one indentation () running axially and/or at least one slot running axially are provided in the shank (), which indentation () or which slot () during the placement of the rivet () causes a radial expansion of the shank () of the sleeve () towards the workpieces ().

Rivet

The invention relates to a rivet for connecting parts, in particular aircraft components, through which holes are formed, the rivet including a sleeve part, which has a rivet head with an axially extending cavity and an adjoining or is composed of such rivet head and a rivet mandrel having an essentially cylindrical base body and a widened rivet mandrel head in relation to the diameter thereof and which passes through the sleeve part and along the cavity with its base body. So that a cost-effective connection with improved loadability can be produced between workpieces, even when they have holes of different sizes for the rivet, the rivet mandrel according to the invention has ribs running axially on the cylindrical base body.
