  • Publication number: 20230228285
    Abstract: A method for securing a first part to a second part where the first part has a locking oblong hole. The method includes passing a locking threaded rod through the locking oblong hole and into the second part. The locking threaded rod is oversized with respect to a width of the locking oblong hole such that the locking threaded rod widens the locking oblong hole as the locking threaded rod is passing through the locking oblong hole.

  • Publication number: 20200061790
    Abstract: A flywheel-driven setting device comprises a flywheel which can be drivingly connected to a driving element in order for a setting element to be driven into a substrate by means of the driving element during a setting process. The flywheel is subdivided into at least two flywheel parts which are movable relative to each other to a limited degree in the axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20200061789
    Abstract: A flywheel-driven setting tool comprising a flywheel which can be drivingly connected to a drive-in element by a coupling device in order to drive a securing element into an underlying surface during a setting process using the drive-in element, wherein the drive-in element is accelerated out of a starting position in a setting direction. In order to allow securing elements to be driven into the underlying surface in a consistent manner, the coupling device is paired with an actuator, by which the coupling device can be opened.

  • Publication number: 20200016732
    Abstract: A flywheel-driven setting device for driving fastening elements into a foundation is disclosed, having a driving element, which can be driven in a setting direction by a flywheel and which is guided between the flywheel, which is rotatable about a flywheel rotation axis, and a counter roller, which is rotatable about a counter roller rotation axis. The flywheel rotation axis is arranged at an angle alpha (?) to the counter roller rotation axis, wherein the angle is not equal to zero.

  • Publication number: 20190366524
    Abstract: A flywheel-driven setting device for driving securing elements into an underlying surface comprises a drive-in element that can be driven by a flywheel in a setting direction and has a connection region in which the drive-in element can be connected to the flywheel in order to transmit a drive force from the flywheel to the drive-in element. The connection region of the drive-in element comprises at least one frictional connection section for providing a frictional connection and at least one formfitting connection section for providing a formfitting connection between the flywheel and the drive-in element.
