Invention Needed: Rivet on Feet 07 05 2018
Ever make something? Perhaps a Desk Clock case or something that stands on a table or kitchen counter?
And you ask yourself, "How easy would it be if I could just drill a hole and rivet on a foot for it in two steps?
Rivet on "feet". Would be just that. You would use a rivet gun.
The feet could be made of rubber, Polyurethane or something with felt bonded to it.
Wouldn't that be great?
You could buy a bag of 50 of them from China (or America) for $3.00?
I don't see anything like that on the market today.
They could come in 1/8" and larger 1/4" rivet size.
I riveted a handle onto my metal garbage can with a 1/4" Rivet and it has lasted and looks like it will continue to last. A spot weld didn't.
