Abstract

A pivoting link subassembly of a linkage support system includes a first link having a circular bore hole therein, a second link having a non-circular bore hole therein, a washer positioned between the links so as to be aligned with an axis extending through the aligned bore holes, and a rivet which extends through the bore holes to maintain the links together and provide a pivot, the rivet including a shank portion which fills the non-circular bore hole in the second link to assure rotational connection thereto.
