Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/020126
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
An apparatus for making joints by means of clinching between first (7) and second (12) members, metal or non-metal, whereby said first member (7), at least in and close to the location where the joint is going to be made, has a generally sheet-formed or flat geometry, and said second member (12), in the same location, has an elongated form with a length axis and a length generally much bigger than any measure of its arbitrary section, by means of a tool provided with a punch (1), a cooperating die and anvil (9) and a stripper (2) surrounding the punch (1). The dimension of the punch (1) in the direction perpendicular to said length axis is essentially the same as the dimension of the section of said second member (12) in said location.
