Abstract:
A blind tack fastener includes a pull stem having an elongated shaft with an extended tail portion. The blind tack fastener also includes a crush-initiating washer, a crush sleeve, and a swage collar, surrounding the elongated shaft of the pull stem. The elongated shaft has a breakaway groove configured to create a predictive fracture point below the head-end surface of the swage collar, such that a hole in the swage collar serves as a centering lead-in for a drill that can be used to remove the blind tack fastener.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of processing a workpiece comprising a plurality of parts with a hole extending through the workpiece, the method comprising:\n inserting a pull stem and a crush sleeve of a blind tack fastener through the hole in the workpiece such that a swage collar of the blind tack fastener is located on a first side of the workpiece and a crush-initiating washer of the blind tack fastener is located on a second side of the workpiece; pulling the pull stem of the blind tack fastener to form a bulb in the crush sleeve of the blind tack fastener, thereby compressing the parts of the workpiece between the swage collar and the bulb in the crush sleeve; breaking the pull stem below a head-end surface of the swage collar; performing one or more manufacturing operations on the workpiece; and removing the blind tack fastener by drilling the pull stem through a hole in the head-end surface of the swage collar.
