A plastics pull-type blind fastener has a pull-part with a pulling stem and legs which pass through holes in a workpiece, shoulders of the legs engaging the workpiece at the blind side, and a push-part with a head to engage the workpiece at the accessible side and a plug extending between the legs to keep them apart after setting. The legs are accommodated in complementary shaped apertures in the head of the push-part, and at least one part has teeth to lock the parts together after setting, and allow removal of the pulling stem.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A two-part pull-type blind fastener comprising a pull-part having a shank provided by a plurality of legs, the legs joined at rear ends to a pulling stem and at their other, free, forward ends having external, rearwardly facing shoulders lying in a plane at right angles to a longitudinal axis of said shank, and a push-part axially slidable on said shank, the shank legs passing through apertures in the push-part, and a plug projecting forwardly from said head, the plug being accommodated in, and extending part way along, the shank and capable, after the shank has been inserted through a hole in a workpiece and the plug has been advanced to a position between said shoulders, of holding the legs apart with the shoulders overlying the workpiece around the hole at the blind side, the fastener also comprising means for effecting such interengagement of the two parts that movement of separation of the head of the push-part and the shoulders of the shank legs, after they have been urged towards one another to clamp the workpiece therebetween and the portion of the pull-part projecting from the head of the push-part has been removed, is prevented.
2.
A fastener according to claim 1, the legs of the pull-part of which are resilient, the shoulders, in the relaxed condition of the legs, projecting beyond the periphery of that part of the shank lying between the shoulders and the head of the push-part, and the legs being able to yield radially inwardly when the shank is inserted through a hole in the workpiece to allow the shoulders, on recovery of the legs from deformation, to engage the workpiece around the hole at the blind side before the plug of the push-part is advanced between them.
3.
A fastener according to claim 1 in which inner walls of the legs beyond a leading end of the plug converge towards one another in the direction of the free ends of the legs.
4.
A fastener according to claim 1, the legs of which at their free ends are close enough together in their relaxed condition to engage one another and provide an axis about which the shoulders pivot when they are constrained to pass through a hole in a workpiece
