  • Patent number: 5415714
    Abstract: A method for positionally securing two components together, in which a hollow body is introduced into the two components. Once the final position of the components relative to one another has been established, the hollow body is driven directly into the second component with the application of axial pressure and sonic energy. The method is suitable for employment with thermoplastic components whose relative position to one another is known beforehand, an example being in the assembly of housing parts of a rotary adjuster for controlling a flow cross section in internal combustion engines.
