20100319173	Apparatus for the connection of articles via at least one plasticizable connection element - An apparatus for the connection of articles via at least one connection element plasticizable by heat includes a cap, in particular a heatable cap, which is movable toward and away from the connection element and which has a shaft, for the forming of a rivet head at the connection element and having means for the cooling of the cap by means of a cooling fluid, in particular air. A first variant is characterized in that the shaft of the cap has a central cooling fluid supply passage preferably reaching up to and into the cap body and a plurality of respective at least generally radially outwardly directed cooling fluid passages starting from the central cooling fluid supply passage are provided within the cap body. Provision can alternatively be made that the cap is manufactured at least partly from porous, air-permeable material, in particular ceramic material, and the shaft of the cap is provided with a cooling fluid supply bore preferably reaching up to and into the cap body. Means for the direct heating of the cap can in particular also be provided, with them advantageously including at least one ceramic heating element.	12-23-2010
