Abstract: A mounting aid for mounting a snap ring or anti-creep ring is disclosed, the mounting aid comprising a first finger and a second finger, wherein the first finger and the second finger are arranged next to one another. A first end of the first finger is arranged adjacent to a first end of the second finger; the first end of the first finger can be moved, counter to a force, from a position that is more distant from the first end of the second finger into a position that is closer to the first end of the second finger. The first end of the first finger and the first end of the second finger form a receptacle for a ring at least when the first end of the first finger is located in the position that is closer to the first end of the second finger.

Abstract: A device for anchoring at least one fastening element in a laminate structure having at least two layers comprises a fastening element, and a carrier assembly on which the fastening element is mounted. The carrier assembly is designed with a protruding rib structure which radially outwardly surrounds the fastening element, resulting in a transmission of force into the laminate structure that is conducive to long-term stability of the anchoring.

Abstract: According to the invention, a deformation base (3) is arranged on a side of a substratum (1) that is free of holes, onto which deformation base a cage part (6) has been pressed. When the cage part (6) is pressed on, foot segments (8) of the cage part (6), for example, are deformed while sliding on the deformation base and penetrate into the substratum (1), the connecting device thus being formed, and are embedded in the substrate by means of anchoring segments (14). A setting tool (21), comprising an elongate outer body (25), on which the deformation base (3) is detachably attached, and comprising an inner punch (22) that can be displaced in the outer body (25) in a longitudinal direction, to which inner punch the cage part (8) is detachably attached, is used for mechanized performance of the connecting method.

Abstract: A setting tool having an engagement structure for setting a fastening anchor comprising a receptacle structure implemented in a shaft, the engagement structure engaging with the receptacle structure during a setting procedure. The fastening anchor can thereby be reliably brought to the setting tool and applied in a yielding soft material.

Abstract: A device for setting fastening elements, wherein a master shaft rod is provided, which can be driven to rotate via a drive unit and moved via a motion link control and which carries an axial force transmission part. A pressing force of a pressure force sensor unit exerted on a setting location of a fastening element can be initiated via the axial force transmission part, via which a release indicator can be actuated, with which a release signal can be output by the pressing force upon reaching or exceeding a predetermined setting force. The fastening elements can thus be applied having very precisely defined setting forces in respect of location and value.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for setting fastening elements, wherein a master shaft rod can be moved via a master motion link into a forward set position in order to be able to set the fastening element also at inaccessible or vertical locations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for feeding a quasi-endless material web (4) to a manipulation device (19) receiving the material web (4), wherein a feed tension unit (8) is provided, through which the material web (4) is fed in an S-shape. The feed tension unit (8) comprises a pivotal feed dancer roller (12), the angle positions thereof being captured by a feed angle sensor (34) and fed to a control unit (36), by means of which the material web (4) is fed or retracted by a dispenser roller motor (3) in the direction of the manipulation device (19), depending on the deviation of the angle position from a reference angle position. Substantially uniform tension in the material web (4) is thereby ensured, even under extreme operating conditions.

Abstract: A device for connecting at least two belts, the belts having transversely oriented connecting bars. The device includes at least one longitudinal wall and at least one edge wall opposite the longitudinal wall and formed on a base plate. Hold-down means are present between each longitudinal wall and each edge wall. At least one of the longitudinal walls and the edge walls has at least one attaching recess in which at least one connecting bar is inserted for securing belts retained by the hold-down means in the area of the base plate against displacing in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for setting a fastener element (55) having an inner pin (56) slidable relative to an outer body (57) and comprising a locking arrangement (32, 33; 38, 39) comprising a bolt (19) provided for acting on the inner pin (56) and secured in a retracted position against axial displacement into an advanced position after relatively spacing a handle body (52) and an actuating organ (8, 46). When the actuating organ (8, 46) is actuated by a displacement opposite the retraction direction, an unlatching organ (40, 41) acts on the locking arrangement (32, 33; 38, 39) and releases the bolt (19) for displacing into the advanced position. Very simple handling of the manually actuated device is thus ensured.
