20130336740 | CONNECTING ELEMENT FOR GLUING ONTO A COMPONENT SURFACE AND REPRODUCTION METHOD AND ATTACHMENT METHOD THEREFOR - The connecting element | 12-19-2013 |
20130276287 | WIRE THREAD INSERT WITH REDRESSABLE MOUNTING TANG AS WELL AS ITS MANUFACTURING AND INSTALLATION - A wire thread insert comprises besides a cylindrical helix consisting of a plurality of coils a moving tang projecting into the interior of the helix for installing the wire thread insert into a receiving thread. The wire thread insert is connected to the cylindrical helix via a bending portion such that the moving tang can be redressed into the receiving thread after installation of the wire thread insert. The wire thread insert is installed by means of an installation tool with a mounting spindle, which installs the wire thread insert in the receiving thread via a moving shoulder and the moving tang. A compression blade provided at the mounting spindle bends the moving tang back into the receiving thread while the mounting spindle is removed from the installed wire thread insert. | 10-24-2013 |
20130008009 | METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING A NAIL CONNECTION AND NAILS THEREFOR - A method is described for establishing a nail connection between two components as well as a nail therefor. The nail is driven through the non-prepunched components in the joining area at a high speed such that the nail tip fully penetrates both components and forms a toric-shaped material bulge in the nail-head-side component, which protrudes into a circular groove of the nail head, and a crater-shaped material bulge is formed in the component facing away from the nail head, which protrudes in the opposite direction. | 01-10-2013 |
20130000101 | CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO COMPONENTS MADE OF REINFORCED PLASTIC AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF - The invention relates to a connection comprising at least two components having the following features: a first component and a second component, of which at least the second component comprises reinforced plastic, a self-piercing connection element ( | 01-03-2013 |
20120315107 | MOLDABLE WIRE THREAD INSERT, METHOD FOR ITS PRODUCTION, COMPONENT WITH A MOLDABLE WIRE THREAD INSERT AS WELL AS A METHOD FOR ITS PRODUCTION - A moldable wire thread insert | 12-13-2012 |
20120271581 | PROCESS MONITORING FOR HIGH-SPEED JOINING - A process monitoring method for a joining operation of a joining element at a speed of at least 5 m/s, in particular placing a bolt at least 10 m/s into at least one component with the aid of a placing device which has the following features: A plunger for placing the joining element, a buffer which limits a maximum deflection of the plunger in the joining direction, and a distance measurement with which the deflection of the plunger can be detected, wherein the process monitoring comprises the following steps: Detecting the travel of the plunger during the joining operation as a function of time in the form of a distance-time curve, detecting a placement of the plunger on the buffer, evaluating the distance-time curve such that, in the presence of at least one maximum followed by at least one minimum in the distance-time curve and without the plunger contacting the buffer, a joint connection is judged to be OK. | 10-25-2012 |
20120260491 | SETTING DEVICE, SUPPLY MODULE FOR THE SETTING DEVICE, AND A JOINING METHOD FOR CONNECTING AT LEAST TWO COMPONENTS - The present invention discloses a setting device for connecting at least two components and comprises the following features: A first lever arm having a first working end, and a second lever arm having a second working end, that are pivotably connected to each other like pliers, a first linear drive connected to the first and the second lever arm so that, by changing of the length of the linear drive, the first and second working ends can move relative to each other, and a punch arranged at a first working end that is connected to a supply module for joining elements, and/or a hold-down module. | 10-18-2012 |
20120000062 | THREADED ELEMENT, SCREW WITH THREADED ELEMENT, INSTALLATION METHOD THEREFORE AND A COMPONENT WITH INSTALLED THREADED ELEMENT - A threaded element in the shape of a wire thread insert with a specific geometric design is disclosed. This threaded element contains, in particular, a narrowed helical winding of at least two helical winding sections that enclose one or a plurality of sequential secants. Based on this geometric design of the threaded element, a matched installation process is described. | 01-05-2012 |
20110290848 | SETTING DEVICE HAVING A MAGAZINE AND A PROVISIONING MODULE FOR JOINING ELEMENTS - The present invention relates to a magazine of a setting device for storing and feeding a plurality of joining elements, particularly of joining elements, such as setting fasteners, to a provisioning module for joining elements and a setting device in combination with the joining elements. The magazine has a base element within the setting device including a storage groove, in which the joining elements can be received in an aligned and jointly moveable manner and one end of the base element ends in a head piece of the setting device. The magazine further includes an advancing mechanism, by which the joining elements can be moved within the storage groove towards the head piece of the setting device, as well as a dispensing mechanism, by which the joining elements can be fed individually from the storage groove to the head piece of the setting device. | 12-01-2011 |
20100183404 | Method for Establishing a Nail Connection and a Nail for This Purpose - A method for establishing a nail connection between two components and a nail for this purpose are described. The nail | 07-22-2010 |
20090097913 | SPACING RIVET, RIVETED JOINT AND METHOD FOR THEIR PRODUCTION - A riveted joint between two sheet-metal components spaced at a certain distance by means of a spacing rivet is described. The spacing rivet is immobilized on the one sheet-metal component by a flange and a first upset ridge and on the other sheet-metal component by a shoulder and a second upset ridge. A spacing section of the spacing rivet extends between the first upset ridge and the shoulder in order to keep the two sheet-metal components at a certain distance from each other. A spacing rivet and a method for producing this type of riveted joint are also described. | 04-16-2009 |
