Abstract:
A removable blind fastener includes an anti-rotation body having an external face with an aperture, the external face being suitable for engaging with a surface of a work-piece to be clamped. The fastener further includes a hollow leg member with a plurality of slots defining outwardly biasable resilient legs at one end and an externally threaded portion at the other end, the leg member having a bore tapering towards the legs, the leg member being translatable through the aperture, the leg member and the aperture further having inter-engaging anti-rotation features to prevent the leg member from rotating about its central axis relative to the anti-rotation body. The fastener may further include a thread tube with an internal thread cooperable with the external thread of the leg member and located co-axially with the leg member and a rod member having a shaft with a head end and a free end.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of temporarily co-joining first and second components using a removable blind fastener according to  claim 1  wherein the components have apertures, the method comprising the steps of:\n a) aligning the apertures of the first and second components; \n b) inserting a fastener through the aligned apertures; \n c) engaging a rotating tool with the head of the rod and a holding tool with the anti-rotation body; and \n d) operating the rotating tool to rotate the rod to cause telescoping movement of the leg member within the thread tube to bring the free end of the rod into engagement with the tapered bore of the leg member to cause the legs to splay outwards.
