How does the bikes chain work?

A bicycle chain consists of two parallell lines of oblong parts, called inner and outer plates. At each end of each plate there's a hole. One pair of inner plates and one pair of outer plates are stacked so that they overlap at one end, and a rivet is driven through the stack. The rivet is a snug fit to the outer plates, but a loose fit to the inner plate. This allows the chain to move, in one direction, with the rivet acting as a hinge. Then you add another set and repeat the process.


What are rivets used for?

Before use an ordinary rivet is just a short cylinder of metal. The two sheets to be joined are positioned as desired and then held together temporarily so that a hole can be bored through them slightly larger than the diameter of the rivet. The rivet is inserted so that part of it extends on each side of the two plates. Now these parts of the rivet can be simultaneously rounded over so that the two ends of the rivet make shapes like the cap of a mushroom on either side of the plates so that they can no longer be taken apart. The link shows several finished examples.
