  • Publication number: 20100303579
    Abstract: A first and second component joint includes using a fastener having a first end, and a flange having a diameter greater than a tubular barrel portion. A second end having a second tubular barrel portion merges into a shoulder of a flange part having a greater diameter than the barrel portion. The first tubular barrel portion is deformed radially outwardly sandwiching the first component between the flange and the first barrel portion. The second end of the fastener is introduced through a hole in the second component by applying the second component to the first component so the shoulder of the flanged part abuts the second component spacing the second component from the first component. The fastener device is fastened to the second component by deforming the second tubular barrel portion radially outwardly sandwiching the second component between the shoulder and the tubular barrel portion.

  • Publication number: 20020153227
    Abstract: Supply system 10 for delivery of elements 130, 150 to one or more users 12 comprising a forwarding device 76, 76′, 76″ which supplies the elements from a stored quantity 78 to a sorting device 70, 70′, which only permits elements having a predetermined position to pass and with a transport device 72, 72′, which transports the positionally correctly sorted elements 130, 150 to the user 12, characterized in that the forwarding device 76, 76′, 76′ forms part of a basic module while the sorting device 70, 70′ and the transport device 72, 72′ belong to an interchangeable module. In this way the components of the supply system 10 can be manufactured and used more rationally, whereby the investment costs sink and can be more quickly amortized.
