A rivet is a nail-shaped item used to connect two parts (or components) with a through hole and a cap at one end. In riveting, riveted parts are connected by self-deformation or interference. There are many types of rivets, and they are informal.
Rivet:
The earliest rivets were small studs made of wood or bone. The earliest metal deformations were probably the ancestors of the rivets we knew. Undoubtedly, they are the oldest methods known to humans for the joining of metals and can be traced back to the original use of malleable metals. For example, the Egyptians used the rivets to rivet six wooden segments of the outer edge of a slotted wheel. Fastened together, the Greeks succeeded in casting large statues with bronze, and riveted together the parts.
In 1916, when British Aircraft Manufacturing Company's HV Wright obtained the patent for blind rivets that could be riveted on one side for the first time, it was hardly expected that such rivets would be applied in this way. From aerospace to office machines, electronic products and sports field equipment, it can be said that such blind rivets have now become effective and stable mechanical connection methods. It was not entirely clear when the hollow rivets were invented and invented, but the harness was invented in the 9th or 10th century. The riveted harness, like the horseshoe that hung nails, liberated slaves from heavy labor. The rivets also triggered many important inventions, such as the iron pliers and shepherd wool scissors used by the copper and iron workers.
