The Earliest Rivets Were Small Pegs Made Of Wood Or Bone, And The Earliest Metal Morphs Were Probably The Ancestors Of Rivets As We Know Them. They Are, Without A Doubt, The Oldest Known Method Of Joining Metals, Going Back As Far As The Earliest Use Of Malleable Metals, Such As The Bronze Age Egyptians Who Riveted Together The Six Wooden Fan Shapes On The Outside Of A Slotted Wheel, Or The Greeks Who Riveted The Parts Together After Successfully Casting Large Statues In Bronze.
When H.v. White Of The British Aircraft Company First Patented A Blind Rivet That Could Be Riveted Single-sided In 1916, It Was Hardly Expected That The Rivets Would Become So Widely Used. From Aerospace To Office Machines, Electronic Products And Playground Equipment, It Can Be Said That The Blind Rivets Have Become An Effective And Stable Method Of Mechanical Connection. It Is Not Quite Clear When The Rivet Was Invented, But The Harness Was Invented In The 9th Or 10th Century Ad. Like Studded Hooves, Riveted Harness Freed Slaves From Heavy Labor, And Rivets Led To Many Important Inventions, Such As Iron Pliers For Copper And Iron Workers And Shearers For Grazing Wool.
