20090137160 | CONTACT-MAKING UNIT, ATTACHMENT METHOD AND SCREWING TOOL FOR CARRYING OUT THE METHOD - A contact-making unit including a holding unit and a screw with a head and a shank. The holding unit includes a connection part-holding section into which at least one connection part can be inserted, and a screw-holding section into which the screw is inserted in a longitudinal direction of the holding unit in such a way that the screw is held captively in the screw-holding section in the longitudinal direction but in a rotatable fashion, and in that a connection part which is inserted into the connection part-holding section can make electrical contact with the inserted screw. A radially protruding bearing section is formed on the head of the screw, and the screw-holding section has a shoulder section which axially supports the bearing section on the holding unit. | 05-28-2009 |
20110065335 | CONTACT-MAKING ARRANGMENT, UNIT AND METHOD - The invention relates to a contact-making arrangement for establishing an electrical contact, having a nut which has an internally threaded section, and having a holding part for holding captive the nut and at least one connecting part such as a cable lug, with the nut having a collar section which projects radially beyond a base body of the nut, with the holding part having a holding section for the nut, into which the nut can be inserted in a first axial direction, and with the holding part having first latching means which are designed to engage behind the collar section of a nut which has been inserted into the nut holding section. | 03-17-2011 |
20110277906 | JOINING METHOD AND APPARATUS - The invention relates to a method for axial joining of a hybrid joining component to a workpiece, wherein the joining component has a thermoplastic joining section and a metal section which can be heated, having the following steps: moving the joining component into contact with a surface of the workpiece; heating of the metal section such that the joining section at least partially melts; ending the heating of the metal section such that the joining component makes a force-fitting, interlocking and/or integral connection with the surface of the workpiece. In this case, the joining component is held with a regulated force and/or in a regulated position with respect to the workpiece at least during the heating of the metal section, in such a manner that the joining component can be joined to the surface of the workpiece without any opposing support. | 11-17-2011 |
20110280650 | JOINING COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF A JOINING COMPONENT - The present invention relates to a joining component for axial joining to a workpiece, having a base body composed of thermoplastic material which has a holding section and a flange section, with a joining surface being formed on the flange section and having a metal section which can be heated inductively. The metal section is in this case integrated in the flange section. | 11-17-2011 |
20120159776 | JOINING MEANS - In the invention, a joining means having a ram tool, a countertool and a holder with an opening to accommodate the ram tool or the countertool, is described. The two tools are arranged coaxial with each other at different ends of a C-bracket. The invention is distinguished in that the holder comprises at least one plane contact surface arranged on the outer surface of the holder, resting in contact with at least one plane face of the corresponding end of the C-bracket and detachably fastened thereto. Between the contact surface and the face, at least one interlay is arranged, determining the information and/or the distance of the contact surface from the face. | 06-28-2012 |
20120204406 | METHOD FOR ATTACHING AT LEAST ONE CONNECTING PART ON A WORKPIECE - A method for attaching at least one connection part on a workpiece comprises the steps of: providing a premounted contact-making unit including a first attachment element and a holding unit on which the first attachment element is held rotatable relative to the holding unit; inserting at least one connection part into the holding unit so that the connection part makes contact with the first attachment element; and connecting the first attachment element to a second attachment element which is secured to the workpiece. | 08-16-2012 |
20130072047 | Fastening Arrangement - A fastening arrangement having a first fastening part which is connected to a metal sheet and has a first threaded section, and having a second fastening part which has a second threaded section which engages with the first threaded section, with the fastening parts fixing an electrical connecting part such that an electrical connection is formed between the connecting part and the metal sheet. A cover part is fixed to the first fastening part in an end position and, in a covering position, has covered at least a part of the first threaded section until the second threaded section has engaged with the first threaded section and, in the process, the cover part has been moved from the covering position to the end position. | 03-21-2013 |
20130134153 | JOINING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A joining apparatus includes a joining tool on which a joining component is held and which moves the joining component in an axial direction to position a metal section of the joining component on a surface of the workpiece. A heating device is provided for heating the metal section of the joining component to integrally couple the metal section to the workpiece. A sensor is connected to the joining tool acting to determine a zero point defined when a joining surface of the metal section has reached the surface of the workpiece before the workpiece is axially deformed. | 05-30-2013 |
20140007424 | Joining Means - In the invention, a joining means having a ram tool, a countertool and a holder with an opening to accommodate the ram tool or the countertool, is described. The two tools are arranged coaxial with each other at different ends of a C-bracket. The holder comprises at least one plane contact surface arranged on the outer surface of the holder, resting in contact with at least one plane face of the corresponding end of the C-bracket and detachably fastened thereto. Between the contact surface and the face, at least one interlay is arranged, determining the information and/or the distance of the contact surface from the face. | 01-09-2014 |
20140091495 | JOINING COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF A JOINING COMPONENT - A method for production of a joining component, the method comprising the steps of providing a metal section which is inductively heatable and defines an axial through aperture; and coating the metal element with a thermoplastic material by a single-component injection-moulding of a base body of the joining component around the metal section so that the base body includes: a holding section formed as a cylindrical shaft and a flange, the flange including a first and second sides, and an inner side of the metal section is joined to the flange and an exposed outer side of the metal section faces away from the flange; and a the second side of the flange is axially recessed within the aperture; and a joining surface is comprised of the outer side of the metal section and a portion of the second side of the flange radially outward of the metal section. | 04-03-2014 |
