Zusammenfassung:A blind fastener for fastening an apertured workpiece (37) of frangible composite material comprises a tubular shank (18) having a head (20) at one end and a concavely tapering nose (22) at the other end, and and a ductile sleeve (16) which can be forced over the nose (22) to form a blind head by which the workpiece can be clampingly engaged at a position spaced radially away from the shank (18). The sleeve (16) is forced over the nose (22) by screwing a headed bolt (14) into the tubular shank (18). The nose (22) may be continuously curved, or comprise steeply and shallowly tapering frusto-conical regions (46, 44), to cause the leading end of the sleeve (16) to be expanded to an internal diameter substantially greater than the external diameter of the shank.
