Abstract
A removable blind fastener includes: a body; a screw member; and a clamping member. The body includes a hollow cylindrical shaft with a proximal end and a distal end and a head at the proximal end, the head being hollow with an internal end face. The shaft has an open guide channel along a portion of its length and an urge channel opposite the guide channel located at the distal end of the shaft. The screw member has a threaded region that fits within the shaft and the screw member has a head at a proximal end that fits within the hollow head. The clamping member fits in the guide channel and has a threaded aperture for engaging with the threaded region of the screw member, such that rotation of the screw member causes the clamping member to move along the guide channel of the body.
