A fastening structure includes a blind rivet and a nut. The blind rivet includes a rivet body having a hollow sleeve, a rivet head at the end of the sleeve and a through-hole; and a mandrel having an elongated stem and a mandrel head. The nut is positioned around the sleeve side end of the rivet body and the mandrel head and abuts one of the workpieces. The end portion of the sleeve is enlarged by the mandrel head and is embedded in the internal screw threads of the nut. The workpieces are thus fastened between the nut and the rivet head.

A method for automated installation of a semi-tubular fastener rivet is provided. The method includes controlling a numerical control drilling and riveting machine having an upper head and a lower head, to control movement of a lower pressure bushing, to apply a clamping force to hold a workpiece against an upper pressure bushing. The method includes controlling an upper drill spindle on the upper head, to drill a rivet-receiving hole from an upper side of the workpiece and to countersink the rivet-receiving hole. The method includes controlling a lower drill spindle on the lower head, to countersink the rivet-receiving hole from a lower side of the workpiece. The method includes controlling movement of an upper anvil from a retracted position to an installation position, and controlling movement of a lower anvil, to apply an upset force to a tail portion of the semi-tubular fastener rivet installed in the rivet-receiving hole.

In the present invention, a through-hole (2) and a compression periphery part (3a) at which the core of the resin foam (1c) is compressed are provided in a fastening part of a resin-foam core composite plate (1). A cylindrical part (11a) of a metallic fastening member (11) is inserted into the through-hole (2) from the proximal end side of a wall part (4). The fastening member (11) is crimped to the distal end of the wall part (4) via an eyelet member (12) placed on the outside of the wall part (4) so as to forcibly spread the cylindrical part (11a). The fastening member (11) and a counterpart member (A) are fastened together by tightening a nut (14) onto a bolt (13) inserted into the cylindrical part (11a).

A blind pull type fastener includes a pin, a sleeve, a collar, and a bulb-forming portion. The pin includes a head. The pin is pulled so that the head applies force to the bulb-forming portion. The bulb-forming portion is deformed to form a bulb. The collar is deformed into a void of the sleeve. The pin includes locking rings. The collar is deformed to lock with the locking rings.

A fastening tool includes a housing, a handle, an anvil, a pin-gripping part, a motor, and a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is configured to move the pin-gripping part along a first axis defining a front-rear direction, relative to the anvil. The driving mechanism includes a rotary member, a movable member, a driving gear and an idler gear. The rotary member has a driven gear formed on its outer periphery and is rotatable around the first axis. The movable member is connected to the pin-gripping part and configured to be linearly moved in the front-rear direction by rotation of the rotary member. The driving gear is configured to be rotated around a second axis extending in parallel to the first axis below the first axis. The idler gear is engaged with the driving gear and the driven gear.

Provided is a riveting device that deforms a rivet inserted into a through-hole formed in a plurality of plate-shaped members disposed in a superimposed state and secures the plurality of plate-shaped members, the riveting device including: an upper anvil that is disposed in a state in which the upper anvil faces an end surface of a head of the rivet; a lower anvil that is disposed in a state in which the lower anvil faces an end surface of a shaft portion 210 of the rivet; and a pressurizing mechanism that generates a pressurizing force of causing a distance between the upper anvil and the lower anvil along an axial line to decrease and plastically deforms the rivet, in which the pressurizing surface of the lower anvil is formed into a flat shape that perpendicularly intersects the axial line, and a surface roughening treatment is performed on the pressurizing surface.
