English-English Glossary - Rivet

Hello, Blog visitors!

Each week, we will be also showing largely used entries in our weekly posts. Therefore, the team presents the first entry to be analysed in the Integrator Project.

This week's entry is rivet!

Accordingly to the online dictionary Reference.comⒸ, "a metal pin for passing through holes in two or more plates or pieces to hold them together, usually made with a head at one end". 

Rivets are also called studs or clinches, but they all serve the same purpose: fastening a system altogether.

We're done here! Hope this was an informational posting, explaining about rivets.

Until next week!
