Abstract
Abstract A composite rivet comprises a preformed head portion, a shear portion, an integral mandrel extending from said shear portion having an annular recess therein, a deformable plastic locking ring radially aligned with and filling the recess in said mandrel, and a collar telescoped about and radially aligned with said locking ring for controlling deformation thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
A composite rivet comprising a preformed head portion, a shear portion, an integral mandrel extending from said shear portion having an annular recess therein, a deformable plastic locking ring radially aligned with and filling the recess in said mandrel, and a plastic collar telescoped about and radially aligned with said locking ring for controlling deformation thereof, said collar being reinforced with circumferentially extending fibers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
64 words
A composite rivet comprising a preformed head portion, a shear portion, an integral mandrel extending from said shear portion having an annular recess therein, a deformable plastic locking ring radially aligned with and filling the recess in said mandrel, and a plastic collar telescoped about and radially aligned with said locking ring for controlling deformation thereof, said collar being reinforced with circumferentially extending fibers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
67 words
A composite rivet comprising a preformed head portion, a shear portion, an integral mandrel extending from said shear portion having an annular recess therein, a deformable plastic locking ring radially aligned with and filling the recess in said mandrel, and a plastic collar telescoped about and radially aligned with said locking ring for controlling deformation thereof, said locking ring being reinforced with chopped randomly orientated carbon fibers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
67 words
A composite rivet comprising a preformed head portion, a shear portion, an integral mandrel extending from said shear portion having an annular recess therein, a deformable plastic locking ring radially aligned with and filling the recess in said mandrel, and a plastic collar telescoped about and radially aligned with said locking ring for controlling deformation thereof, said locking ring being reinforced with chopped randomly orientated carbon fibers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
157 words
A composite rivet for joining first and second workpieces having aligned apertures therein, said rivet comprising a preformed head portion engageable with said first workpiece, a shear portion extending through said aligned apertures in said first and second workpieces, an integral mandrel extending from said shear portion having an annular recess therein, an annular deformable plastic locking ring radially aligned with and filling the recess in said mandrel, and having one radially extending end face abutting said second workpiece, and an annular plastic collar telescoped about said locking ring and radially aligned with the recess in said mandrel, said collar having a first radially extending end face abutting said second workpiece, said collar having an axial dimension less than the axial dimension of said locking ring, a portion of said locking ring extending radially outwardly so as to overlie a second radially extending end face of said collar, said collar controlling radial deformation of said locking ring.
