Riveted Hinged Fastener
A design pattern composed of 2 to 8 Riv-Nails allows for the fasteners to be clinched for maximum pull-out resistance as the pilot nails do not cut the fabric, but divide it, and allow the rivets to slide between fill and warp yarns.
Specifications
Rivet Hinge fasteners are available in R-2, R-3, R-5, R-5 1/2, R-6, and R-8 sizes which fit belts 3/16″ – 3/4″. The fastener strip is cross-scored so it can be easily broken by hand to fit any belt width. First, determine the size and metal.
