Abstract: A method is provided for connecting a first component to a second component. The first component has a deformation region, wherein the deformation region is at least partially heated in a first step. An inner die for the plastic deformation is provided in a second method step. The first component is plastically deformed in the deformation region in order to connect the first component to the second component in a third step, and wherein the deformation region is at least partially contacted by the inner die in the second step.

Abstract: A method is provided for connecting a first component to a second component, wherein the first component has a deformation region. The deformation region is at least partially heated in a first step. In a second step an inner die, having an optical component for plastic deformation, is provided. In a third step the first component is plastically deformed in the deformation region in order to connect the first component to the second component. Light for heating the first component is directed at the deformation region by means of the optical component of the inner die in the first and/or third step.

Abstract: A method for connecting a first component (1) of a vehicle seat to a second component (2) of the vehicle seat includes applying a first glue (3) to the first component (1). The first component (1) is at least temporarily fastened to the second component (2) by a fastener. The first glue (3) is cured by supplying heat, such that the first component (1) is permanently connected to the second component (2). The fastener is a second glue (4). A vehicle seat is also provided including a first component (1) and a second component (2). The first component (1) is connected to the second component (2) in a main connection region (5) by a first glue (3). The first component (1) is connected to the second component (2) in an auxiliary connection region (6) by a fastener comprising a second glue (4).
