Abstract
An element attachable to a sheet metal part by riveting, having a shaft part and a head part. The head part has at its side con-fronting the sheet metal part a ring recess which merges at the radially inner side into a cylinder section of the head part which merges into the shaft part and into a tubular rivet section which surrounds the shaft part in the region of the head part. The head part is disposed within a contact surface arranged radially outside of the ring recess and merges at the radially outer side via an at least approximately conical wall into the ring-like contact surface. At least one local recess and preferably a plurality of in particular uniformly distributed local recesses is or are provided in the conical wall of the ring recess and/or in an optionally present base surface of the ring recess.
