Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4140615A1] A method for installing a blind fastening device (100; 100a) in a bore (28; 28a) provided in a structure (20; 20a) having a first (A) and second side (B) is proposed. Furthermore, a use of a longitudinal passage (32; 32a) of a sleeve (31'; 31a'), provided for forming part of a blind fastening device (100; 100a) and installed in such a structure (20; 20a), for performing an inspection of the sleeve (31'; 31a') or of at least a portion thereof via the passage (32; 32a) or for performing additional work on the sleeve (31'; 31a') and/or in the vicinity thereof on the second side (B) of the structure (20; 20a) via the passage (32; 32a) or for performing both inspection and additional work is proposed. The installed sleeve comprises a deformed sleeve zone (33; 33a) engaging the structure on the second side. The longitudinal passage is configured for at least partially receiving a core bolt (105; 105a) in such a manner that the core bolt can be accessed from the first side and can be tightened with respect to the installed sleeve.
