Abstract: A capped rivet has a cap 10 with an exposed topside 14 and an inside 18 and further has a rivet part 20 with a rivet shank 22 and a rivet flange 24. The rivet shank 22 extends away from the inside 18 of the cap 10 and the rivet flange 24 extends transverse to the axis 23 of the rivet shank 22. The rivet flange 24 is firmly attached to the cap 10, and a reinforcing element 26 is arranged at the underside 25 of the rivet flange 24.

Abstract: A fixing machine with a machine frame, a feeding tool attached to the machine frame, and a fixing tool also attached to the machine frame is provided. The fixing tool can be operated for fixing by fixing elements moved into a fixing position on a support. The feeding tool can be operated for transferring the fixing elements into the fixing position, and can be moved back and forth by a drive element which is rotatable about a drive axis stationary relative to the machine frame. The feeding tool has a feeding rocker which is pivotable about a pivot axis stationary relative to the machine frame. A coupling element is coupled in an articulated manner to the feeding rocker and fastened to the drive element through a rotary joint. The rotary joint is rotatable with the drive element about the drive axis and has a joint axis extending parallel offset relative to the drive axis.

Abstract: A watertight press fastener part formed of an eyelet part (1 or 3) including an eyelet body (2 or 4) or of a ball part (5) including a ball body (6) and a cap rivet (7) which is fixable to a flat material (9), preferably in the form of a climate membrane, in a watertight manner by riveting. An elastically deformable sealing element (11 or 13) which is constructed as a molded part contacts the flat material (9). This sealing element is penetrated by the rivet shank (8) of the cap rivet (7) and has, in the assembled state, due to the deformation of the rivet shank, a press face which is formed in an analogous manner by deformation and which surrounds the axial opening (10) of the press fastener part. Together with a counter-face at the eyelet part or at the ball part, the press face defines the clamping area for the flat material (9).

Abstract: The press fastener comprises, in addition to a press fastener ball fixed to a first carrier web, a press fastener eyelet firmly connectable to a second carrier web by a rived shaft emanating from a rivet cap and passing through a central perforation. A simple construction involving low manufacturing cost, with high durability, i.e. a high number of closing and opening cycles, can be achieved if the press fastener eyelet is formed by a substantially annular, plastic moulding having the central perforation and comprising a round ball reception area and a temporarily widenable locking area which tapers towards the insertion end for the press fastener ball and extends roughly coaxially to the ball reception area. the said plastic body comprises a ring flange-like outer edge, to which is connected in axially displaced manner the central area having the central perforation.
