Sign Rivet

Submitted by: Southeast District 

Innovation Description and Benefit:

The Sign Rivet is a 3/8-inch aluminum rivet used to replace the normally used bolts, washers and nuts. Our innovation saves money by being 60 cents each compared to 75 cents for the combination of nuts, bolts and washers normally used, plus they are reusable!! Saves time by not having to line up bolt and placement of washers and nuts, just place rivet through the sign, line up with hole and hit one or two times with hammer and its set. It improves safety by installing rivet on the front side of sign onto post and not having to reach around sign trying to get a bolt through which can be a fall hazard.
