Abstract
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 ().
