VORRICHTUNG ZUM VERBINDEN ZWEIER PLATTEN UND VERFAHREN ZUM HERSTELLEN DER VORRICHTUNG

摘要

A device for connecting two plates in substantially perpendicular relationship comprises a shank and a head. The shank is intended to be inserted into an opening in a first plate and the head acts to limit the insertion of the device into the opening. The shank is provided with a slot which is adapted to receive a marginal portion of a second plate. The slot is widened in the vicinity of its base and the base is spaced from the head so that upon the maximum insertion of the shank in the opening to correspond to an abutment position of the head and the first plate and an abutment position of two plates, the portion of the second plate received in the slot will be locally deformed in the area of the base to increase its lateral dimension and thereby connect the two plates.
