Patent number: 11020871Abstract: A method for making a blind hole may include arranging a workpiece in a negative form with a first portion and a second portion. The first portion may include a recess. The second portion may include a guide for a punch. The recess may be arranged substantially coaxially to the guide. The method may also include displacing a material of the workpiece into the recess via pressing the punch into the workpiece. Additionally, the method may include pressing the punch into the workpiece in a first movement section with a first velocity. The method may further include further pressing the punch into the workpiece in a second movement section with a second velocity such that the material is sheared and is partly extruded into the recess. The method may include moving the first portion relative to the second portion and shearing off the material displaced within the recess.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Inventors: Wolfgang Rixen, Gerrit Pies

Patent number: 10962041Abstract: A fastening arrangement may include a first component having an undercut groove, and a second component having a through opening. The second component may be couplable on the first component via a fastening device configured to be guided through the through opening and engage the undercut groove. The fastening device may have an axis oriented perpendicularly to the undercut groove. The fastening device may include a hammer head element and a holding element. The hammer head element and the holding element coupled thereto may be rotatable about the axis in an unrestricted manner when mounted on the second component. The hammer head element may have a plurality of orienting contours configured to set an orientation of the hammer head element relative to the undercut groove such that the hammer head element is dippable into the undercut groove independently of a rotary position of the hammer head element about the axis.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2018Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Inventors: Gerrit Pies, Wolfgang Rixen

Patent number: 10105750Abstract: A method for producing a blind hole in a metallic workpiece having at least one curved surface. One part of the material is pushed starting from approximately the horizontally extending curved tangent and from there approximately perpendicular in the direction of the material of the workpiece by means of reciprocating movement. Said method consists of the following steps: a) providing the workpiece with a matrix-type receiving element for the material which is to be displaced; b) pushing the workpiece material by means of a stamp in the axial direction of the receiving element, said material stamped by the stamp is initially sheared in an adiabatic state and flows partially into the receiving element; c) removing the material projecting from the receiving element.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2014Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Inventors: Wolfgang Rixen, Gerrit Pies

Patent number: 6553738Abstract: A hollow profile bar, preferably of extruded metal, comprises a tubular wall that is equally thick all around and is provided with salient outer webs evenly distributed about the outer circumference, which in pairs form undercut casing grooves with side walls, a radial salience of the outer webs from the tubular wall being substantially equal to the thickness of the tubular wall. To achieve tight packing of profile bars that are to be connected in one sectional plane of a hollow profile bar, the hollow profile bar is configured in such a way that slope lines of the side walls of an outer web intersect between the outer web and the axis of the bar.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2001Date of Patent: April 29, 2003Inventors: Wolfgang Rixen, Gerrit Pies
