In said method, before the connecting element is joined and connected to the workpiece, the tool is precisely aligned in relation to the workpiece by means of at least one locating and centering element that engages with a centering region of the workpiece and by the relative displacement of the tool part and the workpiece. The invention also relates to an associated device. | 09-03-2009 |
20090255779 | Supply unit - A supply unit for positionally correct feeding of component parts, for example connecting elements, from an unordered quantity in a holder to a processing unit, comprising a sword-shaped conveyor element with a drive unit for moving at least one section comprising a transport or conveyor surface of the conveyor element in a back and forth stroke movement along an inner surface of the holder, the component element dips into an area of the holder occupied by the component parts, and transports the component parts to a transport route provided above said area for transporting away the required component parts with the conveyor element to the transport route. | 10-15-2009 |
20090297291 | Process for Attaching a Functional Element to a Flat Material and a Connection Between a Functional Element and a Flat Material - Process for attaching a functional element to a plastically deformable flat material or workpiece, the functional element on a contact surface having a rivet collar which is formed by a hollow or tubular section and which stands away over this surface, in the joining area in the flat material by plastic deformation a dome-like section being formed which with its base projects over the plane of the flat material surrounding this section and on the base has a joining opening, and the attachment of the functional element to the flat material in a joining and riveting process taking place by insertion of the rivet collar into the joining opening and by plastic deformation of the rivet collar such that the base is held in a region of the base which surrounds the joining opening between the deformed rivet collar and the contact surface or end side of the functional element, the functional element being anchored on the edge region which surrounds the joining opening without reducing the diameter of the joining opening. | 12-03-2009 |
20090301164 | Hydraulic Processing Pincers - The invention relates to a novel design of hydraulic processing pincers for processing workpieces, with a tool which, in a first tool part has an axially displaceable tool plunger which, with a first end or with a tool provided there and an opposite work rest, forms a working region or a working gap and can be moved with the first end towards and away from the work rest, and made up of a hydraulic actuating device for applying a force to the tool plunger via a movable pressure-transmitting element, said force moving said tool plunger in the direction of the work rest. The piston and/or the piston rod are/is designed with a cavity in which the tool plunger is accommodated in its initial position at least over part of its length. | 12-10-2009 |
20100002970 | Joint Bush - The invention relates to a joint bush, for use in a joint between two components or workpieces, comprising a first sleeve-like bush section, which transforms at one sleeve end into a second flange-like bush section which projects over the circumferential surface of the first bush section. | 01-07-2010 |
20100064500 | METHOD FOR THE APPLICATION OF A JOINT OR FUNCTION ELEMENT TO PLANAR MATERIAL RIVET CONNECTION AND JOINT OR FUNCTION ELEMENT - The invention relates to a method for the application of a function or joint element to an elastically deformable planar material or workpiece, the function element having a rivet section on a contact surface, extending beyond said surface, wherein the application of the function element to the planar material is achieved in a jointing and riveting process by introduction of the section into a joint opening and by plastic deformation of the river section in a rivet connection engaging behind the joint opening, wherein, in a boundary region enclosing the joint opening, the planar material is held under tension between the deformed rivet connection and the contact surface of the function element. | 03-18-2010 |
20100325879 | DEVICE FOR PROCESSING CLIPS, SCREWS, PINS, NUTS OR SIMILAR JOINING ELEMENTS - The invention relates to a novel device for attaching components, particularly clips, screws, nuts, or similar joining elements, to workpieces, made up of a swage head for placing the respective joining element onto a workpiece and having a supply station for feeding the joining elements at the swage head. | 12-30-2010 |
20110271487 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A HINGE, HINGE AND HINGE PIN - The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a hinge between two workpieces or components; first a hinge socket is inserted in an opening of the first component and then a hinge pin is inserted in the hinge socket; the second component can be fastened to the hinge pin end protruding from the hinge socket. | 11-10-2011 |
