The first rivet looked very simple. The edges of the sails made of special fabric (Cotton et al.), Pierced by several ties thick thread. suturing techniques were different: for their choice largely dependent upon the desired strength and durability of the structure. After complete development of the technology as well as at the beginning of sunrise metallurgical industry to use metal staves steel ring. The whole process of fixing was reduced to manual installation, as a specialized tool to quickly and put a rivet, while still not been without problems. People treated with improvised means.

Characteristic

For each subject, whether it is an element of interior decoration, interior environment, a piece of clothing or a tourist paraphernalia, reinforcing rivets produced completely different. It is characterized by:

• reliability requirements;
• strength;
• Operating conditions;
• visual quality.

Taking into account the needs of each customer, the manufacturer is constantly developing new products, improving its technology.

To accommodate the needs of each industry, riveting characterized by the following indicators:

1. The diameter of the attribute. There are two characteristics of the numeric indicator: an inner and an outer diameter. External dimension greater impact on the visual quality. But the inner diameter influences the choice of hole size in the material, as well as the maximum thickness of the rope / crossbar, which can be passed through holes in the sleeve. diameter size range from 2-3 mm, and up to 10 centimeters.

   The inner diameter of the grommet must exceed the diameter of the rod cornice

2. The depth of product. It is measured as the maximum distance from the top of the cap, to the end of the sleeve. This figure defines the maximum possible thickness of the amplified product, but which can be delivered without substantial deformation of the rivet cloth / paper, and also without losing the visual qualities.

   The thicker the fabric, the higher should be the height of the rim eyelets

3. Material. With this option, we have sorted out earlier. It should be noted that plastic and wood are usually used as a decorative component for window textiles (curtains, drapes swags), and the metal base has a functional character (gain tents edges, shoes and etc.).

After reading this section, you will have no further questions to the seller. All parameters mentioned above.

Attention! Before going to the store for a rivet fittings, read the 5 basic characteristics.

Self-assembly: step by step guide

At home, there is a need for self-assembly of reinforcing rivets. For example, you want to give your life an old T-shirt, transforming it with the decoration colored holes, or are going to sew his own curtain to the kitchen. In all cases, you will be useful to study the method of self-setting rivets.

Consider for example, step by step instructions for installing blind rivets. To carry out this work, it will take some material and tools.

Here it is necessary to:

• Fabric for curtains. Her selected based on the element to be created, that is, if it's curtains - the tulle, curtain - thick satin, silk.
• Multi-colored thread.
• Overlock.
• Band to strengthen the installation locations of plugs.
• Set of needles, a thimble.
• Marker, crayon.
• Sewing machine (if available).
• Big and small scissors.
• Directly themselves sleeves with caps.

First thing is to make the curtain. To properly calculate its size, it is necessary to take into account all the necessary supplies. On the cornice curtain hangs loosely, with evenly distributed pleats, without any tension. This determines the length of the margin. It should be 50% of the length between the walls of the window opening. That is, the length of the curtains should be increased by half.

The height of the curtains are also required to take on more. It is necessary for the stock to the top and bottom folds. The bushing installation locations fold is made from the calculation of the diameter of the hardware, plus the necessary margin of 1 cm from the edge of the curtains.

Once you are finished sewing curtains, you can proceed to install the rivet fitting.

First you need to cut a special tape that is needed to eliminate potential pinch, unwanted wrinkles, sags, and to visually improve the appearance of curtains. We need to cut the size of curtains, multiplying by 2 (since the tape is sewn on each side). Do not forget to leave allowances for quality framing edges. One centimeter is enough.

Markings - the main stage, in the way of effective performance. As described above, between the edges of the curtains have to fall back to 1 centimeter. Between each future hole should be 15-20 centimeters. This dimension is measured from the center. To obtain symmetry, make an even number of holes.

For the application of the centers of holes, use a marker or crayon. Do not get too thickly smeared cloth to avoid residues on its surface.

For making holes using ordinary nail scissors. Mandatory requirement for scissors - they have to be very sharp. Hole do accurately, eliminating the possibility of damage to neighboring tissue surface in place.

Hole Diameter - an important parameter that determines the efficiency. The correct choice of the value of the hole depends on the aesthetic appearance of the curtains, as well as the duration of their operation. There is one rule: if the fabric is flexible, the hole diameter should be smaller by 1.2 mm than the inner dimension of the sleeve. But for the dense material hole is necessary to do the same with the size of the sleeve.

Proceed with the installation. Before you install grommets, experts advise to treat the edges of the hole with a special tape or glue. This procedure can also be used as a resuscitation if turned hole larger than the diameter fittings.

Installation accessories - is simple enough, but not entirely easy. To do this you will need:

• convenient table of large size;
• backsheet solid material (wood, metal sheet);
• hammer;
• Phillips screwdriver;
• metal bolt.

The diameter of the working faces Phillips screwdriver selected 2-3mm larger than the inner dimension of the sleeve. Be sure to take a screwdriver under the cross. You need to achieve the effect of the gap edges of the metallic rivets.

Hardware is inserted from the front of the curtain. After the first piece in place, the curtain is required to turn over, with his face down on a solid backing sheet.

On the protruding metal part of the slide washer. Taking a screwdriver with a hammer and placing it into the hole, several hammer blows to tear metal edges.

Prior to the full alignment of fasteners using a bolt. His wide face put on the puck and the blows of a hammer Give mount a finished look. This process is called beading.

The whole process of working on each fixture takes less than 5 minutes. Therefore do not worry, if you just can not. Setting 3-4 pieces, you nabete hand, and the work will go like clockwork.

The same method used to make the eyelets on the clothes.

Shops and factories use a special tool. This punch pliers for making holes, as well as installers-cores. There are also universal tools, including just two appointments. But to buy such devices are not suitable for home use. Simply use the advice of this article, and make a separate installation.
