20080213064 | METHOD FOR CHEATING AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CONNECTION BETWEEN AN ELECTRIC TERMINAL DEVICE SUCH AS A CABLE SHOE AND A SHEET METAL PART, FASTENER ELEMENT AND COMPONENT ASSEMBLY - The invention relates to a method for creating an electrically conductive connection between an electric terminal device having a cavity, such as a cable shoe, and a sheet metal part. According to said method, a hollow fixing element is riveted to the sheet metal part to prevent torsion, thus producing an electrically conductive connection between the fixing element and the sheet metal part and the assembled component is then provided with an electrically non-conductive or poorly conductive protective coating, such as for example a lacquer coating or powder coating. Said method is characterized in that a receptacle for the electric terminal device is configured in the vicinity of the front face of the fixing element, to which the electric terminal device is attached, said receptacle preventing the torsion of the terminal device in relation to the fixing element and the sheet metal part and that a thread forming or cutting screw is screwed through the cavity of the electric terminal device into the hollow fixing element, said screwing action forming or cutting a thread. The invention also relates to a corresponding fixing element and an assembled component that is produced in this manner. | 09-04-2008 |

20120240380 | FUNCTIONAL ELEMENT, A COMPONENT ASSEMBLY CONSISTING OF A FUNCTIONAL ELEMENT AND A SHEET METAL PART AND ALSO A METHOD FOR THE ATTACHMENT OF THE FUNCTIONAL ELEMENT TO A SHEET METAL PART - A functional element having a functional portion, a generally tubular rivet portion and a ring-like sheet metal contact surface is characterised in that features of shape are provided at the rivet portion for co-movement of the sheet metal part during the formation of the rivet bead, in particular at the free end of the rivet portion and/or at the radially outer side of the rivet portion, at least in the region adjacent the free end of the rivet portion. A component assembly comprising a functional element and a sheet metal part as well as a method for the attachment of a functional element to the sheet metal part are also claimed. | 09-27-2012 |
20130129443 | SPACER ELEMENT FOR THE ATTACHMENT OF A SHEET METAL PART, COMPONENT ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR ITS MANUFACTURE - A spacer element which is designed at both ends for the attachment to a sheet metal part or to a hollow section for the formation of a component assembly and which optionally has a fastener section with an internal thread or external thread for the attachment of a component to the component assembly by means of a screw or a nut, is characterized in that the spacer element is not deformable or at least substantially not deformable on attachment to the sheet metal part or to the hollow section and in that the spacer element is provided at both end faces with respective undercuts for the form-fitted reception of sheet metal material or of the wall material, whereby the spacer element is secured to the sheet metal part or to the hollow section and preferably also secured against, rotation. Various variants, component assemblies and methods are likewise described and claimed. | 05-23-2013 |
