Bifurcated Rivet

A bifurcated rivet, also known as a split rivet or fork rivet, is a type of rivet with a split tail that expands outward when compressed, securely fastening materials.

Structure of Split Rivet:

It consists of a round head and split legs.

Bifurcated Rivet Installation Process:
Insert the split rivet into the pre-drilled hole.
When pressure is applied, the split legs expand outward, forming a "fork" shape.
The legs grip tightly on the backside of the material, creating a secure and even connection.

Advantages of Bifurcated Rivet:

✅ Easy installation: No special tools required; can be manually or mechanically compressed.
✅ Strong and stable: The split legs distribute the load evenly, providing excellent tensile strength.
✅ Ideal for soft materials: Suitable for leather, fabric, plastic, and wood without damaging the surface.
✅ Decorative appearance: Commonly used in leather goods and fashion accessories.

Bifurcated Rivet Applications:

✨ Bags, belts, and footwear accessories
✨ Furniture decoration and fastening
✨ Stationery and handicrafts
✨ Electronic component assembly

Due to its unique split-leg design, the bifurcated rivet provides a firm and smooth fastening effect on soft or thin materials, making it widely used in leather goods, fashion, and decorative products.
