Abstract: The crimping system for a device having a spherical element to be crimped comprising a stem mounted in a sleeve and ended at one end with the spherical element, comprises: an anvil intended to bear on a bearing flange of the sleeve, means of traction comprising a system of jaws configured to enclose the spherical element.

Abstract: A method for crimping an insert to be clinched in a support by means of a placing apparatus having an anvil, in an area where the support comprises superposed first and second panels at a distance from one another, wherein the shank is inserted axially in the support and the anvil is brought up against the distal end of the shank, and the second section is then axially compressed against the anvil to create a securing edge, axial compression of the second section then being continued to create a crimping rim delineating an anchoring groove, in combination with the securing edge, surrounding the second panel, axial compression of the second section then being continued to bring about clamping of the support between the securing head and the securing edge in conjunction with clamping of the second panel between the securing edge and the crimping rim.

Abstract: A tapped insert to be insert moulded comprises a shank provided at its axial ends with flanges delineating two axially opposite heads of the insert. The shank is provided with an internally threaded axial section to form a tapping. Means for blocking the insert in rotation after insert moulding and means for blocking the insert axially in translation after insert moulding are arranged on the outside of the shank. The shank comprises at least one fusible area of greater axial deformability located between the threaded axial section and one of the heads. The fusible area is configured to deform under a predefined axial compressive force applied to the heads without causing deformation of the threaded axial section. The invention also relates to a method for insert moulding such an insert.

Abstract: A method for assembling at least two elements by a crimping rivet including a head and a stem, and an associated fitting tool including a traction rod. The method includes the following successive steps. A securing step that secures a part of the stem of the rivet by die-stamping on a corresponding part of the traction rod of the fitting tool inserted inside the stem of the rivet. An inserting step that inserts the rivet in corresponding holes of the elements to be assembled. A crimping step that crimps the rivet by the fitting tool. A separating step that separates the fitting tool by radial deformation of the part of the stem on which die-stamping was applied.

The method comprises the following successive steps: securing a part of the stem of the rivet by die-stamping on a corresponding part of the traction rod of the fitting tool inserted inside the stem of the rivet, inserting the rivet in corresponding holes of the elements to be assembled, crimping of the rivet by the fitting tool, separating the fitting tool by radial deformation of the part of the stem on which die-stamping was applied.

Abstract: A manufacturing process of a clinch nut consists in forming a recess zone in a rough casting by cold heading so as to obtain a rough part. The rough part then undergoes a thermal annealing treatment followed by a cold heading operation enabling a bore to be formed designed to contain an internal thread. The internal thread is preferably achieved by tapping by upsetting material from the bore of the nut.
