Abstract
A fastener having a shaft, a threaded portion, a positioning member and a rivet head. The shaft has a first diameter and extends from a first end to a second end. The threaded portion is positioned on the shaft. The positioning member is provided on the shaft proximate the second end. The rivet head extends from the second end of the shaft in a direction away from the first end, with the rivet head having a second diameter which is less than the first diameter of the shaft. The rivet head is configured to be deformed such that the deformed rivet head has a third diameter which is greater than the first diameter, thereby securing the fastener to a mating member which is positioned between the positioning member and the deformed rivet head.
