Definitions

  • the head 25 is brought down in a normal punching movement with the outer punch member 27 engaging the pull tab 17 around the rivet 14.
  • the pressure exerted by the outer member on the pull tab 17 is sutficient to re-form the pull tab 17 by the flattening of the flange 21.
  • the flattening of the flange 21 results in the reduction of the diameter of the rivet receiving opening 19 so that the metal of the pull tab 17 surrounding the opening 19 will tightly grip the rivet 14 at the base thereof and form a mechanical connection therewith.
  • the relative diameters of the rivet 14 and the rivet receiving opening 19 is such that a definite constriction of the rivet 14 at the base thereof results and the rivet assumes a prestaked configuration.
  • a method of securing a pull tab to a tear strip of a container member comprising the steps of shaping the container member to have an integral tubular rivet having a free end and a base end connected to the container member with the rivet free end being of a larger diameter than the rivet base end, forming an opening in the pull tab of a diameter to snugly receive the rivet base end, deforming the pull tab around the opening therein to define a flared flange surrounding the opening with the opening being offset from the original position thereof and the diameter of the opening increased to receive the rivet free end, positioning the pull tab on the rivet flange first, flattening the flange of the pull tab to reduce the diameter of the pull tab opening with the pull tab gripping the rivet base end, and crimping the rivet free end over the pull tab around the pull tab opening to further and securely attach the pull tab to the container member.
