Les rivets aveugles. [...] Étanchéité : lorsque c'est un impératif, choisir des rivets Pop se scellant hermétiquement est recommandable : leur expansion à la pose étant telle que le trou est entièrement comblé, ces rivets présentent une excellente résistance aux cisaillements et sont donc indiqués pour des joints exposés à subir de fortes vibrations. 3, record 2, French, - rivet%20pop

Le rivet aveugle, que l'on appelle souvent du nom de la marque la plus connue «rivet Pop», peut être utilisé comme le rivet traditionnel. Il a surtout été conçu pour riveter «à l'aveugle», c'est-à-dire sans avoir accès au dos de la pièce sur laquelle on veut riveter un élément. Un exemple très courant d'utilisation est la pose des plaques d'immatriculation sur les véhicules. 4, record 2, French, - rivet%20pop

Le terme générique de rivets aveugles s'applique à tous les types de rivets creux destinés à être posés d'un seul côté de l'assemblage, bien que leur domaine d'utilisation ne se limite pas seulement aux assemblages «en aveugle». On peut les classer d'après la manière dont on provoque l'expansion du bout borgne des rivets en les posants : 1) rivetage à mandrin à éjection [...] 2) rivetage Pop : le mandrin passé à travers le corps du rivet creux forme la tête et se rompt, soit par rupture de tige, soit par rupture de tête. [...] 6) rivetage par explosion [...] 3, record 2, French, - rivet%20pop

A device known as a pop, or blind riveter will install and set rivets without the use of a tool to support the work.... Each rivet has a pin, or mandrel, which is automatically broken off, removed, and discarded after the rivet has been set. The stem of the rivet is inserted in the tool and placed through the hole. As the tool is squeezed, the mandrel draws the concealed end of the rivet back, expands it to completely fill the hole, then breaks off as soon as the head is formed. 3, record 3, English, - pop%20rivet%20tool

Une riveteuse pop posera les rivets sans l'aide d'un outil qui supporte l'ouvrage. [...] Chaque rivet porte une pointe, ou aiguille, qui se brise automatiquement et s'enlève quand le rivet est posé. On insère la tige du rivet dans le trou de l'outil. Quand on presse les poignées, la tige tire, vers l'arrière, la partie invisible du rivet, la compresse pour remplir le trou complètement, puis se brise dès que la tête s'est bien formée. 1, record 3, French, - riveteuse%20pop
