Introduction:
Rivet: In riveting, the parts of riveted parts are connected by their own deformation or interference. There are many kinds of rivets, and they are irregular.
History:
The earliest rivets were small nails made of wood or bone, and the earliest metal deformation may be the ancestor of rivets as we know them today. There is no doubt that they are the oldest metal connection methods known to mankind, which can be traced back to the initial use of malleable metals. For example, in the Bronze Age, the Egyptians riveted six wooden sectors on the outer line of the sheave, and the Greeks successfully cast large statues in bronze, and then riveted all the parts together with rivets.
19 16, when H. V. White of British Aircraft Manufacturing Company first obtained the patent of blind rivet that can be riveted on one side, people hardly expected that this kind of rivet would be so widely used today. From aerospace to office machines, electronic products and playground equipment, it can be said that this blind rivet has become an effective and stable mechanical connection method.
Most blind rivets are invented for manufacturing or maintaining harnesses. It is not clear when the blind rivet was invented, but the harness was invented in the 9th century or10th century. Rivet harness, like a horseshoe with nails, liberated slaves from heavy labor. Rivets also led to many important inventions, such as iron pliers and wool scissors for copper and iron workers.
Use:
Rivets are very useful. Now rivets are not only used in building production, but also in clothes and so on. Some clothes and bags are inlaid with rivets, which makes them look elegant.
