Abstract
A punching, stamping rivet has a frustum-shaped rivet head and a shank following thereafter. In order to create a rivet connection between two adjoining structural parts, the shank is punched through the structural parts forming a punched hole, and a groove is coined thereafter around the shank end in that structural part. In order to be able to process structural parts having varied thicknesses, several shank grooves are arranged on the shank, into which shank grooves material penetrates under plastic deformation during the coining of the groove.
