Abstract:
Fastener for welding, joining method and joining connection In a fastener (1) of metal having a shank (2), which has a welding end (3) and at some distance from the welding end (3) a flange (5), which has a greater diameter than the shank (2), the flange (5) on the side turned toward the welding end (3) is provided with a plurality of projections (10), which are arranged at some distance from the shank (2) and from each other and which with their free ends form contact surfaces for a structural part.
Abstract:
A holding device for holding a stud, which includes a radially projecting flange in a securing position, comprises a collet component including a hollow tubular insertion section defining an insertion axis, and a clamping section operable to exert a radially inwardly directed clamping force for clamping the stud. A securing device is arranged on the insertion section and includes a securing sleeve formed of plurality of separate securing-sleeve sections that are radially movable relative to one another. A clearance space is defined between a bottom end of the securing-sleeve sections and a top end of the clamping section, and the clearance space is operable for holding a flange of a stud in the securing position.
Abstract:
Joining head (10) for joining a stud which includes a radially projecting flange to workpieces and holding device (12) comprising: - a collet component (16) having a clamping section and a hollow insertion section defining an insertion axis and adapted to receive a stud such that the stud can be inserted via the insertion section to the clamping section, the clamping section being adapted to exert a radially inwardly directed clamping force for clamping the stud; - a securing device arranged on the insertion section and comprising a securing sleeve (30); - a clearance space (32) defined between a bottom end of the securing sleeve and a top end of the clamping section, the clearance space being adapted to releasably receive a flange of a stud; - a first air flow channel (C1) adapted to feed the stud in the collet, the first air flow channel being oriented in a first direction ; wherein the holding device (12) further comprises at least a second airflow channel (C2, C2') oriented in a second direction different from the first direction, the second air flow channel being adapted to maintain the stud in a non-oblique position.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a holding fixture (60) for pins (26) comprising a radially protruding flange segment (30), having a clamping jaw component (39) comprising a clamping segment (38) and a hollow insertion segment (36), wherein a pin (26) can be inserted into the clamping segment (38) via the insertion segment (36), and wherein the clamping segment (38) is designed for exerting a clamping force directed radially inward for clamping the pin (26), and wherein a retaining device (62) past which a flange segment (30) of the pin (26) can be guided is disposed at the insertion segment (36), said device being designed relative to the clamping segment (38) such that a pin is fed past the retaining device (62) and is supported and retained in a retaining position between the retaining device (62) and the clamping segment (38). The present invention further relates to a rivet head (14) having a holding fixture (60) and a method for feeding a pin (26).
